Kokomo Emergency Tarping — Residential & Commercial

Emergency Tarping in Kokomo, IN

Kokomo Roof Pros provides professional emergency tarping in Kokomo, IN for residential and commercial properties across Howard County and north central Indiana. A tarp is a temporary structure and it should be treated like one. After August 2016 there were blue tarps on the south side of Kokomo still flying the following spring, which is long enough for the tarp itself to become the problem.

A hot-nailed sheet of polyethylene flapping through an Indiana winter works holes in the shingles it was meant to protect. So we install tarps with battens rather than bare nails. Furring strips rolled into the edge of the sheet and fastened through, so the load spreads and the wind cannot start a tear at a single fastener. Every fastener placed where a shingle course will cover it at the eventual repair.

We run the sheet over the ridge and down the far slope rather than terminating on a face where wind can get beneath it. And we put a date on it. A properly installed tarp is good for perhaps sixty to ninety days in this weather, and if the permanent repair has not happened by then it needs to be refastened or replaced. We tell you that in writing.

Here is our condition, and it is a firm one. We will tarp your house whether or not you hire us for the repair, and we will not tie the tarp to a signature on anything. In a market with no contractor licensing and no registration, the storm tarp is the most effective lever anybody has for extracting a contract from somebody having a bad day.

There are situations where a tarp is the wrong call and we will say so on the phone. A tree still resting on the structure is a structural matter before it is a roofing one. Standing water on a ceiling below is an electrical hazard first. If the damage is limited to one slope of an already-failed roof, sometimes the right answer is to skip the tarp and go straight to the repair rather than pay for both.

Then, while we are up there, we photograph everything for you. Full resolution, dated, from the angles an adjuster will recognize, including the interior damage if you will let us in. That file is worth considerably more than the tarp is, and it costs nothing extra to make while the ladder is already standing against the house.

Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — orphaned chimney stacks cut below the sheathing plane, B-vent collars pulled and the opening decked solid, powered attic fans deleted and their curbs framed over, annular-shank deck refastening on a twelve-inch schedule, one-piece lead pipe flashings instead of thermoplastic boots, penetration counts recorded per square at tear-off — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Kokomo and nearby communities including Greentown, Russiaville, Sharpsville, Windfall City.

Materials, equipment and how we do emergency tarping

The difference between emergency tarping that lasts and emergency tarping that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with orphaned chimney stacks cut below the sheathing plane, B-vent collars pulled and the opening decked solid, powered attic fans deleted and their curbs framed over, annular-shank deck refastening on a twelve-inch schedule, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.

Every Kokomo job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in Howard County and north central Indiana means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Kokomo Chooses Kokomo Roof Pros

  • ✓Nobody from the city will ever climb your ladder, so we photograph every stage of the tear-off and hand you the whole file at the end.
  • ✓We count the roof penetrations before we price the job and tell you which ones are dead and can simply be closed and decked over.
  • ✓We will read a 2016 storm roof honestly, including the times the answer is that it has years left in it and you should wait.
  • ✓Deck replacement is quoted at a published per-sheet rate rather than buried inside an allowance you have no way to check afterwards.

The standards behind emergency tarping

Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The emergency tarping work we do in Kokomo follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.

Every emergency tarping project in Kokomo gets the same attention, whether it is a single room or a full commercial job. We show up on schedule, keep the site clean, and stand behind the work — the estimate is free and there is no pressure.

Emergency Tarping in Kokomo: Common Questions

How much does emergency tarping cost in Kokomo, IN?

It comes down to square footage, access, the condition of what is already there, and the materials you choose — orphaned chimney stacks cut below the sheathing plane, B-vent collars pulled and the opening decked solid, powered attic fans deleted and their curbs framed over. We do not price a job off a phone call and a guess.

We measure on site and hand you an itemized free estimate with the scope written out, so you can compare it line by line against anyone else's number.

How long does a emergency tarping job take?

Most residential emergency tarping work in Kokomo runs from a single day to about a week once materials are on site. Larger commercial jobs get phased so the property keeps operating. Weather, permit review and material lead times are the usual reasons a date moves, and you hear about those from us before the crew starts, not after.

Do you pull permits and handle inspections in Kokomo?

Yes, on any work that needs one. We file with the Kokomo building department, schedule the inspection and stay on site for it. Skipping a permit is how property owners end up paying twice — once for the work, and again when it fails at resale or an insurance claim.

Is Kokomo Roof Pros licensed and insured?

There is no roofing license to hold in this state, and Kokomo goes further than most Indiana cities: its own building permits page states that the city does not require general contractors to be licensed. The permit menu runs to building, electrical, sewer tap, demolition, street cut and driveway work, with no roofing category anywhere on it.

So we wave no card at you. We show you the deck on the day it is open and put the photographs in your file..

General liability and Indiana workers' compensation, both current and both checkable: carrier name, policy number and expiration date print on page one of your proposal, and the certificate reaches you from the agency rather than out of our folder. Where nothing else is verified, that is the one credential you can confirm yourself in a phone call..

Rather than claim a badge in a market where nobody verifies one, we work to the printed application instructions packed with the shingle we are installing, and we leave that sheet with you so our nail placement can be read against what the maker requires..

Every emergency tarping job carries A written workmanship warranty that names the penetrations we closed and the ones we left standing, with the count on it, because a roof carrying fourteen holes and a roof carrying six are not the same roof and your paperwork should say which one you bought..

Ask any contractor for those four things in writing before you sign — the ones who hesitate are telling you something.

Do you take commercial roofing work as well as residential?

Both. Kokomo Roof Pros runs residential emergency tarping across Kokomo neighborhoods and commercial work for offices, retail, restaurants, apartment complexes and HOA properties throughout Howard County and north central Indiana. Commercial jobs get phased scheduling and off-hours crews so tenants and customers are not shut out while the work happens.
