Post-Storm Safety Tips
Your safety comes first. Before anyone works on your roof:
Stay off the roof
Damaged roofs can be weak, wet and slippery. Leave climbing to trained, insured crews.
Watch for power lines
Assume downed lines are live. Keep away and report them to your utility.
Document from the ground
Take photos and video of damage, including interior leaks, before cleanup begins.
Limit interior water
Move valuables, place buckets, and shut off power to wet areas if it is safe to do so.
Run generators outside
Never operate a generator indoors or in a garage. Carbon monoxide is deadly.
Hire licensed contractors
Verify any contractor's Florida license at MyFloridaLicense.com before work begins.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about emergency roof tarping after Hurricane Isaias.
How quickly can you tarp my roof after Hurricane Isaias?
We dispatch crews as quickly as conditions safely allow. Timing depends on call volume, road access and weather, so call 305.608.8853 for current availability in your area. We can field up to a 50-person crew at any given time across the Florida Panhandle.
What is the difference between a blue tarp and a synthetic felt dry-in?
A blue tarp is a fast, temporary cover fastened over damaged areas with wood battens. A synthetic felt (synthetic underlayment) dry-in is installed directly over the roof deck after loose or damaged material is removed. It lies flatter, sheds water well and is often the better temporary option when more of the roof is affected. We recommend the right option after inspecting your roof.
Do you tarp commercial roofs?
Yes. We tarp and dry-in both residential and commercial roofs, including flat and low-slope commercial roofs, multifamily buildings, condominiums, retail and warehouse properties.
Will you help with my insurance claim?
We document the damage thoroughly with photos, video, roof measurements and a written report and estimate, and we provide that documentation to you to support your insurance claim. We are not public adjusters and do not represent you in your insurance claim or interpret your policy. Policy, coverage and settlement questions should go to your insurer or a licensed public adjuster.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Rapid Roof Tarps works in affiliation with Horizon Commercial Roofing Inc., Florida Certified Roofing Contractor CCC1329116 and Certified General Contractor CGC1535585. Crews are insured, and certificates of insurance are available on request.
Is a tarp a permanent repair?
No. A tarp or synthetic dry-in is a temporary measure to protect your property from further water damage. Permanent roof repair or replacement is available through Horizon Commercial Roofing Inc. once you are ready.
Which areas do you serve?
We serve the Florida Panhandle, including Pensacola, Pensacola Beach, Gulf Breeze, Navarre, Milton, Fort Walton Beach, Destin, Panama City, Panama City Beach, Mexico Beach and Tallahassee, across Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, Walton, Bay, Gulf and Leon counties.
Should I climb onto my roof to cover the damage myself?
We strongly advise against it. Storm-damaged roofs can be weakened, wet and slippery, and downed power lines may be nearby. Take photos from the ground and call a licensed contractor.
