Applying Tarps to a Roof After a Hurricane

Applying Tarps To A Roof after a Hurricane

Tarps are the most quick and easy solution for covering up that roof after a hurricane. It is essential to have the proper tarp and have it installed correctly to prevent further leakage. The FEMA blue standard tarps are the best. They are light weight, easy to set up and they are strong enough to last a month or two until a roofer can re-roof your house. It doesn’t matter whether you use blue, green or brown light duty tarps, just as long as the grommets are sealed and attached strong to the tarp. The proper U.S. standard hurricane tarps can be found at the bigger more specialized tarp distributors. Your local hardware store might have tarps but they are the more light duty kind and usually cost more. The tarps can be installed by the home owner or a roofer. Depending on the size of the structure the application of the tarp can take anywhere from minutes to hours.
