How much does emergency tarping cost?
Quick answer
Tarping typically runs $350–$750. It's documented for your insurance file as reasonable mitigation, and it buys time to scope the permanent repair properly.
How fast can you get to a Columbia roof after a storm?
Quick answer
Typically two to five business days for an inspection, faster when water is coming inside, and 24/7 for emergency tarping. After a large regional hail or wind event, homes with active interior leaks move to the front of the line.
Our shop on Leaphart Road in West Columbia is about 10 minutes from downtown Columbia, so local crews cover Columbia, Lexington, Irmo and the rest of the Midlands.
After the tarp: the permanent fix
Once the roof is dry and safe, we do a full documented inspection. If the damage is isolated, you get a written roof repair quote. If hail or wind damaged enough of the roof, we help you pursue a roof replacement in Columbia through your claim. Our estimators write in Xactimate and Symbility, meet your adjuster on the roof, and file supplements when the first scope comes up short.
Does homeowners insurance cover storm damage?
Quick answer
Yes. Standard South Carolina homeowner policies cover sudden hail and windstorm damage to a roof, minus your deductible. Damage from age, wear or poor maintenance is denied. Documentation decides it.
You pay your deductible, never more and never less. Rebating a deductible is insurance fraud in South Carolina, and we don't do it. Need help covering the deductible? See financing.

Will insurance pay for emergency tarping?
Tarping is typically treated as reasonable mitigation of further damage. We document it with photos for your claim file; your carrier decides coverage under your policy.
How soon should I file a storm damage claim?
Promptly. Most SC policies require prompt notice and set a one-year window from the date of loss for wind and hail claims. The longer you wait, the easier it is for a carrier to call the damage pre-existing.
Do you meet with the insurance adjuster?
Yes. We meet your adjuster on the roof, compare scopes in Xactimate, and file supplements when items are missed.
