Emergency roof repair in Texas City: questions
Will insurance pay for tarping?
Emergency mitigation such as tarping is commonly reimbursed under storm claims. Keep the invoice and photos and ask your insurer.
How long can a tarp stay on?
A properly installed tarp can protect a roof for weeks or a few months, but UV and wind degrade it. Schedule the permanent repair as soon as possible.
