Why Homeowners Call CGR When a Roof Is Exposed

The emergency category is most useful when there is active water entry, sudden roof exposure, impact damage, or another condition that may allow additional damage before normal scheduling.

Roofing-first assessment of the actual condition

Clear explanation of temporary vs. permanent work

Storm-damage experience and photo documentation

Honest repair / replacement recommendations after the immediate condition is controlled

Clear communication about what happens next

The goal is to protect the home where temporary covering makes sense, then move into the right permanent roofing plan without unnecessary confusion.

Emergency Roof Tarping FAQ

What does emergency roof tarping do?

It is temporary protective coverage placed over a damaged or exposed roof area to help reduce additional weather intrusion until permanent roofing work can be completed.

Is roof tarping a permanent fix?

No. A tarp is temporary protection. The roof still needs a permanent repair, restoration or replacement plan based on the actual damage.

How quickly can CGR tarp my roof?

However, availability depends on weather, safe roof access, property location, the type of damage and current scheduling. Call CGR so the team can review the situation and tell you the next available step.

Can a roof be tarped while the storm is still happening?

Not always. For example, lightning, strong wind, heavy rain, unstable roofing and other conditions can make roof access unsafe. Safety determines when the roof can be assessed and whether temporary protection can be installed.

Will a tarp stop every roof leak?

A tarp may help reduce direct weather exposure at a damaged area, but it is not a guaranteed watertight permanent repair and it may not address every leak path.

What happens after the tarp is installed?

CGR will then explain the permanent roofing next step, which may involve roof repair, broader storm restoration or roof replacement depending on the condition.

Can CGR document the temporary work if insurance is involved?

Yes. CGR can also document observed roofing conditions and construction work. However, the insurance carrier determines policy coverage and payment.

Do you serve St. Charles as well as St. Louis?

CGR serves St. Louis, St. Charles and nearby Missouri communities. Call to confirm emergency availability, because it depends on the property location and current conditions.

Need Temporary Roof Protection After Storm Damage?

If part of your roof is exposed or taking on water, call CGR Legacy Construction. We can review what happened, assess the roof when conditions allow, and explain whether temporary tarping, emergency repair, or another roofing step makes sense.

Tarping is temporary protection.

Permanent roofing work may still be needed.
