Roof Damaged By The Storm? We Tarp It Today.

Calcasieu Parish has been here before. Hurricane Laura made landfall near Cameron in August 2020 as a major hurricane and stripped roofs across Lake Charles, Westlake, and Sulphur. Six weeks later, Hurricane Delta hit a lot of the same ground before repairs were finished. Plenty of homeowners in this parish spent months under a blue tarp waiting on contractors, insurance adjusters, and materials. We built this business around not making that wait longer than it has to be.

The first call after storm damage isn't about picking a panel color. It's about stopping water from getting further into the house. We tarp and secure the roof to prevent additional interior damage, then document everything with photographs before any repair work starts, so you have a clear record for your insurance claim.

Price Range

Emergency tarping and securing runs $400 to $900 depending on roof size and how much of the roof needs covering. A full storm-damage reroof runs the same $9.75 to $16.50 per square foot as a standard replacement, since the underlying work is the same tear-off, deck repair, and reinstall. What's different is how the job gets scheduled and how we work with your claim.

How A Storm Damage Job Goes

1. We tarp the roof first, stopping active water intrusion before anything else, usually same-day when weather and access allow.
2. We document everything, photos of every damaged section, torn panels, missing shingles, and any decking exposed to weather.
3. We give you a written damage summary your insurance adjuster can review alongside their own inspection.
4. We quote the reroof once you know your claim outcome, standing seam or panel system, your choice.
5. We schedule and install as soon as materials are available, prioritizing homes with active leaks or exposed decking.

What Makes This Harder

Material and labor availability tightens fast after a regional storm, since every roofing crew in southwest Louisiana is fielding calls at once. Insurance claim timelines add another variable outside our control; adjuster inspections and claim approval can take days to weeks depending on the carrier and how widespread the damage is across the parish. And storms rarely damage just the roof. Wind-driven rain often gets into the attic and walls before a tarp goes up, which is part of why we document thoroughly, so nothing gets missed in the claim.

Job Duration

Tarping typically happens within 24 to 48 hours of your call, faster when the damage isn't widespread across the area. A full reroof after claim approval runs the same 3 to 5 days as a standard replacement, though a major regional storm can push scheduling out further due to demand.

One thing that sets this apart: we document damage even on tarping-only calls, before you've decided whether to file a claim, so the evidence exists either way.
