Emergency Roof Tarping in Stone Mountain, GA: a written quote from a licensed, insured Georgia roofing contractor from our vetted network, built from aerial measurement, with no sales visit.
Get a written quoteRoofs here tend to go longer between inspections, so damage from two or three storms ago is often still sitting there when someone finally looks. This is the edge of the hail belt: storms are less frequent than up the I-35 corridor, but the ones that arrive are the same size. Original tile roofs from the '80s and '90s are reaching underlayment failure now, and that's a lift-and-reset or full replacement, not a tile repair.
What it costs in Stone Mountain: a professional tarp install is a few hundred dollars and is nearly always reimbursable under a storm claim as mitigation — keep the receipt.
Georgia doesn't issue a roofing-specific license — most roofing falls under the state's Residential-Basic or General Contractor license once a job crosses the state's licensing threshold. We check that license, insurance, and standing with the state board before a roofer ever sees a lead.
How it works
Weeks, not months. Sun degrades the plastic and wind works the fasteners loose. It buys time for a proper repair or claim, not a season.
You can, but people get hurt on wet roofs every storm season, and a badly nailed tarp creates new leaks. If it's a single-story with a walkable pitch and the weather's cleared, it's doable; otherwise let a crew do it.
