Roof Tarping in Meriden, Connecticut

When a storm tears a hole in the roof, the tarp is the bridge between the damage and the repair. Roof tarping in Meriden means covering the damaged area fast so the rain and the snow do not ruin the interior while you wait for the repair.

Meriden climbs the hills toward Hubbard Park and Castle Craig, and the wind off that ridgeline tests every roof in town. The housing spans the brick blocks of the old manufacturing era, the bungalows and ranches of the mid-century, and the newer subdivisions on the edges. Winters bring heavy snowfall and freeze-thaw swings, and the valley humidity keeps the north slopes green with moss and algae all summer. We install the heavy-duty tarps with the proper anchoring that hold through the wind and the rain. A tarp that flaps in the wind is worse than no tarp, so we do it right.

When Your Meriden Roof Needs a Tarp

• The tree has fallen through the roof
• The wind has ripped the shingles off a large section
• The water is actively leaking into the interior
• The roof is damaged and the repair is scheduled for later
• The insurance company has approved the claim but the repair is pending
• The winter storm is coming and the roof is exposed

Why Meriden Roofs Need Tarping After a Storm

The tarp is the first response to the roof damage in Meriden. The nor’easters and the ice storms do the damage, and the rain follows within hours. The tarp stops the water entry and protects the interior, the insulation, and the belongings while the permanent repair is scheduled.

The second reason is the insurance and the scheduling. The roof repair after a big storm is booked for weeks, and the exposed roof cannot wait. The tarp holds the roof together and the interior dry until the crew can get to the permanent repair. The tarp is cheap compared to the water damage it prevents.

How We Tarp a Roof in Meriden

1. Inspect the damage and the size of the area that needs the cover
2. Clear the loose debris and the damaged shingles from the area
3. Lay the heavy-duty tarp over the damaged area with the overlap
4. Secure the tarp with the wood strips and the cap nails along the edges
5. Tuck and seal the edges so the wind cannot get under the tarp
6. Check the tarp after the storms and replace it if the wind has damaged it
