Emergency Tarping

When a storm tears away shingles, a falling tree limb punches through your roof, or high winds expose your home's interior to the elements, every minute without protection multiplies the damage. Restoration Control operates a 24-hour emergency tarping service with crews stationed throughout Connecticut, Florida, and New Jersey — our target response time is two hours or less from your call, any day of the year, including holidays.

We use heavy-duty commercial-grade polyethylene and woven polypropylene tarps rated for UV exposure, high wind, and sustained rain. Unlike the lightweight tarps sold at hardware stores, our materials are anchored with professional fastening systems — wood battens, weighted perimeter straps, and mechanical fasteners where appropriate — designed to hold through subsequent storms rather than fail the first time wind gusts resume. We also carry fire-retardant tarps for roofs over occupied structures that require that specification.

Emergency tarping is also a critical first step in the insurance claim process. A properly installed, professionally documented tarp demonstrates that you took immediate action to mitigate further damage — a requirement under virtually every homeowner's policy. Our crews photograph the damage in detail before installation, provide a signed mitigation certificate for your claim file, and can coordinate directly with your insurance company to ensure the emergency response costs are properly reimbursed.
