Fort Collins Roof Pros provides professional emergency roof tarping in Fort Collins, CO for residential and commercial properties across Northern Colorado. Tarping is a wind service more than a hail service, and it is worth knowing the difference before you call. Hail bruises a roof that keeps shedding water for now. Wind takes shingles off in sheets and leaves deck exposed, and that is the situation where hours matter.
So the honest triage is this. If you have missing shingles, torn-back ridge or a hole, we tarp. If you have a hail-marked roof with no active leak, a tarp does nothing for you except stop us documenting the slope properly, and the right move is an inspection and a scope. Anyone who arrives after a hailstorm insisting the roof must be covered tonight is selling urgency.
Done properly, a tarp is a temporary roof, not a weighted sheet of plastic. We use heavy woven poly, run it over the ridge where we can so water cannot get under the top edge, wrap the edges around furring strips and fasten through the strip into the deck rather than punching holes across the field, then seal the fastener line. Bricks and sandbags on a windy night are how tarps end up in a neighbour's yard.
Inside matters too. We look for where water has already gone, because water travels along rafters and shows up rooms away from the entry point. Wet insulation gets pulled, not left in place to hold moisture against the ceiling, and we tell you if the ceiling needs relieving before it comes down on its own. That means a small hole in a controlled place rather than a collapse on the ceiling's own schedule.
Every tarp is documented before it goes on: photographs of the exposed area, measurements, and the reason for the emergency work, so the mitigation is part of the claim rather than an argument later. Colorado law also gives you the right to rescind a roofing contract within seventy-two hours of notice that your claim was denied, and we will not ask you to sign anything that pretends otherwise.
We tarp roofs across Fort Collins, Wellington, Laporte, Timnath, Windsor, Severance, Loveland and Greeley, on houses and small commercial buildings, and we come back to do the permanent repair once the scope is agreed. Tarps are temporary by design, so we set a return date when we install one rather than leaving you on a list.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — UL 2218 Class 4 impact-rated shingles, SBS polymer-modified asphalt, FM 4473 Class 4 rated low-slope assemblies, ASTM D7158 Class H wind-rated shingles, 24-gauge standing seam steel with concealed clips, stone-coated steel with a granulated surface — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Fort Collins and nearby communities including Loveland, Greeley, Windsor, Evans.

Materials, equipment and how we do emergency roof tarping
The difference between emergency roof tarping that lasts and emergency roof tarping that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with UL 2218 Class 4 impact-rated shingles, SBS polymer-modified asphalt, FM 4473 Class 4 rated low-slope assemblies, ASTM D7158 Class H wind-rated shingles, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Fort Collins job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in Northern Colorado means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Fort Collins Chooses Fort Collins Roof Pros
- ✓We put the Class 4 payback in writing — upgrade cost divided by your carrier's annual premium reduction, in years, before you sign anything.
- ✓Impact-rated accessories are in the base price. Ridge vent, pipe flashings and gutter gauge are the unrated parts that dent, so they get specified with the shingle.
- ✓Tear-off to bare deck as standard. Nobody can inspect sheathing through a second layer, and a roof-over hides the decking problem you will pay for later.
- ✓Manufacturer high-wind nail patterns rather than the four-nail minimum, written into the contract so the wind class on the wrapper means something.
