24/7 Emergency Line • Wisconsin-Licensed • BBB A+
When a roof is opened up by wind, hail, or falling debris, the clock is running until the next rain. RoofingPros Milwaukee installs commercial-grade temporary protection, tarps, reinforced covers, and temporary sealing, that keeps water out until permanent repairs are made.
When emergency tarping is the right call
- Membrane torn, punctured, or peeled back and more weather is coming
- A tree limb or wind-blown object has opened the roof deck
- A section failed mid-repair or mid-replacement and needs overnight protection
- The full repair needs insurer approval first, but the building cannot wait exposed
- Fire or impact damage that will take time to rebuild properly
How RoofingPros Milwaukee Handles It
A tarp thrown over a commercial roof by a general handyman usually fails in the first strong wind, and a failed tarp can do more damage than the original breach. Commercial temporary protection is its own skill: covers must be sized, seamed, ballasted, and anchored for the specific roof, and drainage paths must stay open so water never ponds against the cover.
Temporary protection is exactly that, temporary. Every tarping job we do comes with the permanent repair scope attached, so the building owner, the insurer, and our crew are all working from the same plan from day one.
What to expect from our tarping crew
- Commercial-grade waterproof covers sized and anchored for flat and low-slope roofs
- Proper fastening that holds in wind without creating new penetrations where avoidable
- Safe work: fall protection and staging on every emergency call
- Photos of the damage before and after covering, for your records and your insurer
- A written scope and schedule for the permanent repair

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does emergency tarping last?
Properly installed commercial temporary protection holds for weeks, long enough to plan and complete permanent repairs. It is not a season-long solution and we do not present it as one.
Will tarping damage my roof further?
Not when it is done correctly. We size, seam, and anchor covers for your specific roof and keep drainage paths open so water never ponds against the cover.
Can you tarp a large commercial flat roof?
Yes. Commercial-scale temporary protection is different work from residential tarping, and it is what our emergency crews are equipped for.
Do you handle the permanent repair afterward?
Yes. Every tarping job comes with a written scope and schedule for the permanent repair, so there is one plan and one accountable contractor.
