Stay safe first
Do not climb onto a damaged or wet roof. Note what you can see from the ground and share photos taken safely.
Roof Tarping in Katy & Houston
Protect the home first, then plan the repair. A properly secured tarp keeps weather out while the permanent work is scoped.
A real person confirms the scope and any visit.
What does your project need?
After a storm, a fallen limb or wind damage, the first job is often to cover the damaged area so more weather does not get in. Down South installs roof tarps as temporary protection and then talks through what the permanent repair needs. A tarp is a short-term measure, not a fix, so the next step is always an inspection and a clear scope.
What to discuss before work begins.
Cover the damage
A tarp needs to extend past the damaged area and be secured so wind cannot lift it. Ask how it will be attached and how long it is meant to stay.
Document for your records
Photos of the damage before and after tarping help you and your insurer understand what happened.
Plan the permanent repair
Once the roof is covered, the team inspects it and discusses repair or replacement based on its condition.
Prepare for a useful first conversation.
Tell the team what happened, where the damage is and whether water has reached the inside of the home. Share photos if you can take them safely. Ask your insurer about any steps your policy expects after storm damage.

How long can a roof tarp stay on?
A tarp is temporary. How long it lasts depends on the weather and how it was secured, so plan the permanent repair as soon as the roof has been inspected.
Is a tarp the same as a repair?
No. A tarp keeps weather out for now. The damaged materials still need to be repaired or replaced.
Can you help after the tarp is on?
Yes. Down South handles roof repairs and replacements, and can inspect the roof once it is safe to do so.
