Temporary Roof Repair, explained.
Not every storm-damaged roof can be fixed for good right away. Shingles may be on back order, an insurance review may be underway, or the weather may be wrong for a proper installation. A temporary repair bridges that gap.
It may be a patch, a membrane, replacement shingles on the worst area or a reinforced tarp. We choose the lightest measure that will keep water out, and we tell you exactly how long it is reasonable to rely on it.
Signs you need this
- Materials for the full repair are not available yet
- You are waiting on an insurance process
- Weather is wrong for permanent work
- The roof must stay dry through a few more storms
A good fit, and what to know.
We would rather you hear the limits from us than discover them later.
A good fit when
- The permanent repair cannot happen yet
- You want to avoid more interior water damage
- The roof must stay dry through changing weather
Worth knowing
- A temporary repair is not a substitute for a permanent one
- Extensive damage may call for a tarp or board-up instead
Why do it this way.
