Emergency Roof Repair and Storm Damage Response

When a storm opens up a roof, the priority is stopping water from getting into the structure. O’Brien Contracting installs emergency roof tarping to help prevent further interior damage while permanent repairs and any insurance steps are worked through.

What we do first

• Emergency tarping over exposed decking, blow-offs and impact damage
• Photo and written documentation of the damage before anything is covered or removed
• Assessment of whether the damage is repairable or requires replacement
• Coordination of permanent repair once the property is protected

Insurance claims after a storm

We can document the damage thoroughly and provide the inspection findings you need for a claim. We do not promise claim approval or payment — carriers make that decision. Do not let anyone tell you otherwise.

Frequently asked questions

Do you tarp roofs?

Yes. Emergency tarping is one of the first things we do after storm damage so water stops entering the home.

Should I get a tarp before filing a claim?

Most policies expect you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage. Photograph the damage first, then protect the opening.

What counts as storm damage?

Wind-lifted or missing shingles, cracked or displaced tile, impact punctures from debris, torn flashing, and water intrusion following a named storm or severe thunderstorm.
