Most contractors, the blue roof program, and the insurance companies, have left out a lot of important facts concerning getting your home or business repaired. So we want to give you all the facts concerning these issues help you get back into your home or business; because, let's face it, we know you don't want to spend the next year living in a hotel.

1. Tarping

We do NOT use blue tarps!

Roof tarps are not permanent solutions, nor are they suitable for a period of more than 14 days, as emphasized by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). In addition to causing more damage to your already leaking roof, tarps begin to deteriorate over time from the sun and rain, causing them to literally shred apart and litter yours and your neighbor’s yard with debris.

“Blue roofs”, as they’re known by public emergency agencies, claim to be mildew resistant although we beg to differ. Due to their easy accessibility and fairly low costs, many homeowners seek to install them themselves or with the help of a handyman after noticing a roof leak in their home. The thought process makes sense:

Notice a roof leak in your home.
Run and out and purchase a tarp thinking you’re going to prevent further damage to your home’s interior by stopping the roof leak.

But, what homeowners don’t consider is the further damage the tarp is actually causing on the exterior to the roof itself.

In closing, tarping your roof with a blue tarp causes more problems than it solves. The biggest issue is that it weakens shingles or tile roofs with temperature shifts. Also, if the tarp isn’t installed perfectly smooth, it may potentially hold small pools of standing water. This can then cause further problems such as mosquitos breeding in these pools of water or mold growth.

The benefits of synthetic underlayment are extensive:

When exposed to the elements, they don’t wrinkle and tear around fasteners like blue tarps. Endures up to 180 days of UV exposure & repels water.
Synthetic underlayment is tough, durable material that resists small tears and stands up to boot traffic.
Synthetics have extremely high tear strength compared to blue tarps. This means less tearing around fasteners during installation and fewer opportunities for water infiltration.
Synthetics repel water while felt products absorb water. Most homeowners like the idea of having a product that sheds water as their secondary water protection barrier on their roof instead of a sponge.
Synthetics are not a food source for mold like paper based #15 and #30 felt paper or blue tarps.

How much will it cost?

Our roof tarp pricing is based on a service fee specific to your type of roof, the square feet of tarp needed, and safety hazards related to the roof surface (steep or high roofs).

We provide an upfront quote after we view the property, and then we take payment ONLY after services are rendered. In addition to providing the temporary repair itself, we also provide electronic images of the damages for you to provide to your insurance carrier. Please call us anytime 24/7 at (800) 792-4828 to schedule a time for us to come out to your home or business.

3. Insurance Companies

Getting 3 Roofing Bids, Favors The Insurance Company, Not The Homeowner! Why Do Insurance Companies Tell Homeowners To Get Bids On Roof Replacement?

Insurance companies are the only ones to benefit from bidding out a roof seeking the lowest bid. Insurance companies hope that home and business owners will try to pocket some money from their claim. That way when the insurance company receives the final invoice they won't have to pay the full amount of the claim. The policyholder does not benefit and is usually hurt by this as they will typically receive a lower-quality roof, and no extra money in their pocket.

How Should I Select A Contractor If Bids Don't Matter?

Reputation (Good reviews) see our testimonials here
Quality (Roof installation process, quality control system, good materials)
Reliability (In business at least 5 years, will be around to service warranty)

Many times your insurance company will inform you they are providing a contractor when they come to inspect your home or business. You are NOT required to use the contractor they offer. The contractor the insurance company provides is not there for your best interest, they will put the insurance company first. Pick your own contractor to assist you with all of your needs. Please call us for a free consultation concerning your needs, when it comes to your home or business.
