Emergency Roof Tarping & Board-Up Services
Storm damage, fallen trees, roof failures and broken windows can leave your property exposed to additional rain, wind and interior damage. URCPRO provides emergency roof tarping, temporary cover-up, board-up and water intrusion response to help protect the property until permanent repairs can be completed.
Protect the Property Before Additional Damage Occurs
A damaged roof, broken window or exposed exterior opening can quickly become a larger restoration problem when the property is left vulnerable to rain and changing weather conditions.
Temporary protection is often one of the first steps following storm, wind, tree or impact damage. Roof tarping and board-up can help reduce additional exposure while permanent repairs, inspections or insurance-related decisions are being arranged.
URCPRO can also evaluate interior areas for water intrusion and moisture when rain has already entered the structure.
Roof Tarp & Board-Up Services
Temporary protection is designed to help reduce additional weather exposure until permanent repair work can safely move forward.
Emergency Roof Tarping
Damaged roof areas may be temporarily covered to help reduce additional rain intrusion until roofing repairs can be completed.
Temporary Roof Cover-Up
Open or exposed sections of roofing can be temporarily protected following storm, wind, debris or impact damage.
Emergency Board-Up
Broken windows, damaged doors and other exterior openings may be temporarily boarded to help secure and protect the structure.
Window Protection
Broken or damaged windows may require temporary covering to limit rain, wind and debris from entering occupied areas.
Door & Opening Protection
Damaged entry doors and exterior openings can be temporarily protected until replacement or structural repairs are arranged.
Water Intrusion Inspection
If rain has already entered the structure, affected ceilings, walls, insulation and flooring can be evaluated for moisture.
Water Removal
Standing or recoverable storm water can be removed from accessible interior areas when water intrusion has already occurred.
Structural Drying
Air movers and dehumidification equipment may be used when building materials have become wet following the loss.
Damage Documentation
Photographs and project records may document the affected area, temporary protection and related water mitigation work.
Common Reasons for Emergency Tarping & Board-Up
Storm Damage
Severe weather may damage roofing, windows, doors and exterior components.
High Wind Damage
Strong winds can remove shingles, roofing materials, siding and exterior trim.
Fallen Trees & Limbs
Tree impact can create roof openings and damage exterior portions of the structure.
Roof Leaks
Sudden roofing failures may allow rainwater into attics, ceilings and interior rooms.
Broken Windows
Glass damage may leave interior areas exposed to weather and additional debris.
Damaged Doors
Exterior door damage may leave a building unsecured or exposed.
Fire or Impact Damage
Certain property losses may leave windows, walls or other openings temporarily exposed.
Delayed Permanent Repairs
Temporary protection can help while inspections, materials or permanent repairs are being coordinated.
A Temporary Tarp Can Help Prevent a Larger Water Loss
When roofing has been compromised, additional rainfall can spread water through insulation, ceilings, walls and flooring.
Temporary covering can help reduce further water entry while the permanent roof repair is being scheduled.
More Rain Can Mean More Interior Damage
If a storm has left your roof or exterior exposed, request emergency assistance before the next rain event whenever possible.
Request Emergency ProtectionProtect Broken Windows, Doors & Exterior Openings
Broken glass, damaged doors and exposed exterior openings can allow rain, wind and debris into the building. They can also leave an unoccupied or damaged property unsecured.
Temporary board-up provides short-term protection until damaged windows, doors or building components can be permanently repaired or replaced.
Areas That May Require Board-Up
- Broken residential windows
- Damaged exterior doors
- Garage openings
- Storm-damaged wall openings
- Impact-damaged openings
- Vacant damaged properties
- Temporary construction openings
- Areas awaiting permanent repair
The Roof Opening May Be Only Part of the Damage
Rainwater entering through roof damage can travel through attic insulation, rafters, ceilings, wall cavities and interior finishes before becoming visible.
Once the exterior opening has been temporarily protected, URCPRO can evaluate interior areas to determine whether water extraction, moisture mapping or structural drying may also be needed.
Interior Areas We May Evaluate
- Attic insulation
- Roof framing
- Ceilings
- Drywall
- Wall cavities
- Flooring
- Subflooring
- Adjacent rooms

Roof Tarp & Board-Up FAQ
Do you provide emergency roof tarping?
Yes. URCPRO provides temporary roof tarping when roof conditions and safe access allow the damaged area to be protected.
When should a damaged roof be tarped?
Temporary protection should generally be considered when roof damage has created an opening that may allow additional rainwater into the property before permanent repairs can be completed.
Do you board up broken windows?
Yes. Broken windows and certain damaged exterior openings may be temporarily boarded when appropriate.
Can you tarp a roof during severe weather?
Roof work depends on safe access and weather conditions. Temporary protection should not be installed when conditions make roof access unsafe.
What if a tree is still on the roof?
A qualified tree contractor may need to remove or stabilize the tree before the damaged roof can be safely accessed. URCPRO can evaluate temporary protection and water mitigation once access is safe.
Can you inspect for water damage after a roof leak?
Yes. URCPRO can evaluate ceilings, walls, insulation, flooring and other accessible materials for moisture following roof-related water intrusion.
Is roof tarping a permanent repair?
No. Roof tarping is temporary protection designed to reduce additional exposure while permanent roofing repairs are arranged.
Do you document the emergency work?
Depending on the project, photographs and service records may document the damaged areas, temporary protection, moisture conditions and mitigation services performed.
