While you may be able to tarp your roof yourself, there are a few key factors to consider before climbing a ladder during inclement weather:
Safety is paramount – If you’re not experienced with climbing on ladders or roofs, it simply may not be safe to traverse your roof without expert help — especially during a downpour.
Attach a tarp securely – Without proper attachment procedures, your tarp could fly off, exposing your roof to further water intrusion or damaging other parts of your property.
Use a quality tarp – If your tarp is threadbare or has holes, you won’t effectively prevent roof leaks. Make sure your tarp is in good condition and durable enough to endure the elements.
For best results, reach out to a professional roofer for tarping services — we’re here to keep you and your roof safe.
