Storm & catastrophe response

Storm Response & Emergency Tarping

When a storm opens up a roof or blows out windows, the first job is getting the structure dried in and secured. We mobilize teams to storm-hit areas around the country to tarp, board up and clear the way for the rebuild.

Storm & Catastrophe Response

Stabilize first, rebuild second

After wind, hail or an impact from falling debris, a damaged building keeps taking on water and losing value until it is closed up. Our storm-response work is built around that first phase: getting temporary protection in place quickly and correctly, so the mitigation and reconstruction that follow aren't fighting new damage. We work for restoration companies, general contractors, property managers and investors who need dependable hands on site when their own crews are stretched across a storm event.

What our storm response covers

  • Emergency roof tarping. Tarps sized to the damaged area, run over the ridge where practical and secured with battens so they hold through the next weather system.
  • Board-up. Window, door and wall openings secured with plywood to keep weather and unwanted visitors out.
  • Temporary protection. Dry-in of openings, poly sheeting and other temporary measures called for in your scope.
  • Debris clearing for access. Storm debris that's already down moved away from the structure, driveways and work areas so crews and equipment can get in. See storm debris cleanup.
  • Documentation. Start, progress and completion photos for your file.

Built for multi-site storm events

Large storms rarely mean one building. A property manager may have dozens of units with roof damage, and a restoration company may have a list of losses spread across a region. We work through site lists in the order you set, report back as each address is secured, and flag anything that needs your attention, such as structural damage that should be evaluated before anyone goes on the roof.

From tarp to rebuild

Because we also handle framing and trusses, roofing, siding and interior reconstruction, the team that secured the building can come back for the permanent repair once the scope is approved. That continuity saves you a second round of site walks and keeps one point of contact on the job. Learn more about our insurance restoration and reconstruction work.

What to send us

Send the property addresses, a description or photos of the damage, access details and any program or client requirements for tarping and documentation. We'll confirm availability and mobilization and send written pricing.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Where do you deploy for storm response?

We're based in Damascus, Maryland and travel nationwide. Send the job locations with your scope and we'll confirm availability and mobilization for that area.

Can you handle storm events with many properties?

Yes. We work through a list of addresses in the priority order you set and report back as each site is secured.

Can the same team do the permanent repairs?

Yes. Once the repair scope is approved, we can come back for framing, roofing, siding and interior reconstruction, so you keep one point of contact from tarp to closeout.

What documentation do you provide?

Start, progress and completion photos for each site, so your file shows the condition before and after temporary protection went on.
