What callers askabout emergency tarping
My roof is leaking. What should I do?
Call, then take pictures. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso answers (915) 353-3934 at any hour. The Texas Department of Insurance says to remove standing water, cover holes to keep rain out, and save all receipts.
How much does emergency tarping cost?
It depends on the roof. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso prices tarping by roof size and pitch, the size of the damaged area, the roof type, and access. Our prices sit in the fair middle of the El Paso market.
Will homeowners insurance cover a leaking roof?
Your policy decides. The Texas Department of Insurance says your policy may pay for temporary repairs, though a leak from wear generally isn’t covered. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso documents the damage and writes the estimate. Talk with your insurer before any permanent repair.
How long can you leave a tarp on a roof?
Only until the repair. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso uses a tarp as temporary protection, never as the fix. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers designs its Blue Roof sheeting for 30 days.

What a tarp does,and what it can’t do
A tarp holds off the weather for now, and your roof still needs a repair. That’s why tarping carries no warranty.
A tarp can
- Keep rain off the damage until the repair.
- Cover a hole in the roof, which the Texas Department of Insurance tells homeowners to do.
A tarp can’t
- Stand in for the repair or last the way a roof does.
- Dry out water that’s already in the underlayment, the layer under your shingles, or in the deck or insulation.
Wind and monsoon rainon an open roof
Wind
Contractors run a tarp well past the damage, anchor it over the ridge or into the solid roof above, and wrap its edges around boards to keep wind from getting under it.
Monsoon
A monsoon cell can reach an open roof before the repair does, so the tarp goes on first.
