Leaking roofs can cause more damage than you think.
If water gets through your roof, it can find its way further than just the attic, running along rafters to wall studs inside walls and beyond, potentially leaving enough wetness to produce mold or rot building materials. A properly installed roof tarp stops the problem at the source, preventing missing shingles or cracks from turning into something worse.
Act now to protect your home from:
Water leaking deep within your structure, damaging your walls, floors, and personal property
Insulation damage
Mold growth
Structural damage
Foundation problems
Break-ins
Our Approach
The Roof Tarping Process
01
Evaluate the Area
Our first step is to check the area for any safety concerns like signs of imminent structural collapse, or hazards such as downed electrical lines or fallen trees.
02
Damage Assessment
We investigate your structure’s exterior and interior, gaining a complete picture of the extent of damage, and what is needed for a temporary repair.
03
Prepare Action Plan
Using all notes, measurements, and photos, we prepare a scope of work, and provide you with all the documents you might need for an insurance claim.
04
Begin Repairs
We install a roof tarp and begin mitigating damage according to plan.
What NOT to Do After Roof Damage
Do not climb on the roof. The roof may have hidden structural damage.
Do not attempt to install a tarp during a storm or while the roof is wet.
Do not attempt to remove debris from roof.
Do not use a metal ladder near power lines or close to electrical equipment.

It might be tempting to attempt waterproofing a damaged roof on your own, but doing so without proper equipment and training is dangerous. Damaged roofs, especially after a major storm, often have loose shingles or wet surfaces that increase the risk of slips, trips, or falls. Protect yourself, save time, and make sure the job is done right–with MGC Restoration. Our skilled team has the expertise and resources to thoroughly assess your roof and apply effective waterproofing measures, ensuring your safety and peace of mind while we work toward a lasting solution.

Roof Tarping FAQ
Q: Should I do this myself or hire a professional?
A: When it comes to roof tarping, this is a task you are going to want to hire a professional for! As professionals, we are able to assess the damages, locate the exact area of concern and tarp your roof properly.
Q: How long does a roof tarp last?
A: The average roof tarp can last around 1-6 months depending on weather factors. A roof tarp is not a permanent solution to a leaking roof, rather is a solution to minimize interior damage in your home until a roofer can either repair or replace your roof.
