Stop Tarping And Start Wrapping.

Sealing your roof with a shrink wrap membrane has become the new preferred "blue roof tarp" alternative for emergency leak protection. This service is designed to help temporarily mitigate water and storm damage while you wait for your damaged roof to be replaced or repaired.

What is shrink wrap roof protection?

We take rolls of large plastic membrane and heat weld the seams to create a water-tight layer of protection over your roof. This material is then heated in order to shrink to the exact shape of your roof. This solution is perfect for all types of low slope and steep slope roofs including flat, tile, metal, or shingles.

Tarp Wrap vs. Blue Tarps

Blue roof tarps have been the roof protection solution of choice for years. You see them all over the place after a serious storm or to protect properties under construction. There are numerous weaknesses to using traditional blue tarps including messy seams, rapid degradation from UV exposure and questionable attachment systems. Sometimes the tarp will be nailed down to the roof, creating more holes!

Our Tarp Wrap service uses shrink wrap material that solves most if not all of these issues. This material is water tight by being able to heat-weld the seams and then shrinking to a drum-tight fit. This offers better protection against water pooling and any strong winds from future weather. Tarp Wrap is also greatly more UV resistant allowing it to perform its job for up to a year. This makes Tarp Wrap the most reliable short term roof protection system available.
