This is the San Antonio page for emergency roof tarping. The short version: you want someone to get a tarp on today before more water comes in, and you can have it without a salesperson at the door.
Get a written quoteAfter a storm, the trucks knocking on doors are working from radar; the roofer worth calling works from photographs of your roof, slope by slope. Roof surface payment schedules and ACV roof endorsements are showing up on renewals across Central Texas; read the declarations page before assuming a claim will fund a new roof. Real estate activity drives a lot of the roofing here — pre-listing inspections, buyer credits, and insurance-driven replacements right after closing.
What it costs in San Antonio: a professional tarp install is a few hundred dollars and is nearly always reimbursable under a storm claim as mitigation — keep the receipt.
Texas has no statewide roofing contractor license, which is exactly why we vet partners on insurance, manufacturer certification, and BBB standing instead of taking a business card at face value.
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.
Texas has no statewide roofing contractor license, which is exactly why we vet partners on insurance, manufacturer certification, and BBB standing instead of taking a business card at face value. San Antonio is inside the everyday service radius, so there's no travel surcharge and no "we'll be in the area next month."
