Why every hour matters

Water finds its way in. Then it never really leaves.

Most homeowners do not realize how fast a small breach in the roof turns into a five-figure interior repair. Insulation soaks. Drywall sags. Mold spores set up shop in the attic within 24 to 48 hours. The actual roofing fix gets bigger and more expensive the longer water sits in the deck.

A proper emergency tarp is not a contractor-grade tarp from a hardware store stretched across the roof. It is a heavy-mil tarp wrapped over the ridge, anchored into sound substrate, sealed at the edges, and sloped so water sheds off the roof rather than pooling. Done right, it buys you weeks. Done wrong, it makes the next rainstorm worse.

How an emergency call unfolds

From phone call to dry interior in hours, not days

  1. 01

    You call. We answer.

    (941) 896-7793 rings 24/7. Tell us what happened, where you are, and what you are seeing inside the house. We dispatch as soon as it is safe.

  2. 02

    On-site assessment and tarp install

    We walk and fly the roof, find the breach, and install a properly anchored heavy-mil tarp wrapped over the ridge. Most calls finish in 60 to 120 minutes on-site.

  3. 03

    Photo documentation for insurance

    We send you a timestamped photo report of the damage and the tarp install. Forward it to your adjuster, or we can deal with them directly.

  4. 04

    Permanent repair scheduled

    Before we leave, we put the permanent roof repair or replacement on the calendar so the tarp is a bridge, not a long-term solution.

Most policies cover emergency tarping. We help you file it right.

Florida homeowner policies typically cover emergency tarping after a covered loss like wind, hail, or hurricane damage. We can bill the tarp through the claim and submit the documentation your adjuster needs. If you are uninsured or out-of-pocket, we will quote the tarp before we leave the driveway.

What Coastline customers say after an emergency call

★★★★★

"Josh and his team installed our 3,800 sqft two-story peak roof in just 3 days. Not one nail hit the lawn. He helped pick the color, walked us through every step. My family is so pleased."

Faith E.Florida Gulf Coast · Storm damage replacement
★★★★★

"I chose Coastline mainly due to the excellent customer service and the fact that it is a local company. Other estimates came in lower but they were at least 4 months out. Coastline made my house and my insurance deadline a priority."

Emergency tarping FAQ

Common questions when the roof opens up

How fast can you get a tarp on my roof?

Same-day in most cases across Manatee, South Pinellas, and South Hillsborough. Call (941) 896-7793 the moment you have a leak. Overnight calls are dispatched at first light unless conditions allow earlier safe access.

Will my homeowner insurance cover the tarp?

Most Florida homeowner policies cover emergency tarping after a covered loss like wind, hail, or hurricane damage. We document the damage with photos and provide an itemized invoice in the format your adjuster expects.

Do I need to be home when you tarp the roof?

Not necessarily. If you can grant access and the property is safe, we can complete the tarp without you on-site and send the photo report to your phone. We will call before, during, and after the install.

How long will an emergency tarp last?

A properly installed heavy-mil tarp typically holds for 30 to 90 days, long enough to file the insurance claim and schedule the permanent repair. Cheap hardware-store tarps stretched flat fail in the next storm. We do not install those.

Are you licensed and insured for emergency work?

Yes. Coastline is a Florida Certified Roofing Contractor, license CCC1331076, fully insured. Same license, same insurance, whether the call comes in at noon or midnight.

What if the storm is still happening?

We will not put a crew on a roof in active lightning, sustained high wind, or unsafe conditions. Call us anyway. We log your address, prep the dispatch, and get there the moment it is safe.

Do you charge a deposit for emergency tarping?

No deposit is required on tarping. We bill through the insurance claim where applicable, or invoice after permanent repair. You are not writing a check while water is still coming through the ceiling.

What areas do you cover for 24/7 emergency tarping?

Manatee County, South Pinellas, and South Hillsborough: Bradenton, Palmetto, Lakewood Ranch, Anna Maria Island, St. Petersburg, St. Pete Beach, South Tampa, Riverview, Apollo Beach, and surrounding cities. For larger jobs we travel statewide.
