24/7 emergency roof tarping for Nashville-area homeowners after storm damage, fallen trees, or fire damage.
Emergency Tarping in Nashville costs $200–$800 depending on roof size and access; insurance reimbursable in most cases. Second Best Roofing has provided emergency tarping services across the Nashville metro since 2011—licensed, bonded, and insured in Tennessee.
A storm that tears off shingles or puts a tree through your roof on a Sunday night doesn’t wait for business hours. Second Best Roofing provides emergency tarping 24 hours a day, 7 days a week throughout the Nashville metro. A properly installed tarp seals the opening, protects the interior structure from water intrusion, and preserves the insurance claim documentation. We install, we document, and we follow up with the permanent repair.

We inspect the roof at no charge and document everything before quoting. For storm damage, we attend the insurance adjuster meeting with you.
You get a line-item estimate in writing before we start. No surprises on the final invoice. What we quote is what you pay.
We don’t subcontract structural work. The crew that shows up is Second Best Roofing’s own licensed team.

Emergency tarping 24/7
Owner-operated since 2011. Every review here is from a real project in the Nashville metro.
We prioritize emergency calls and aim to be on-site the same night or within hours of your call. Response time depends on weather conditions and concurrent demand after major storm events—during heavy storm periods, our crew works extended hours to cover as many emergency calls as possible.
Most standard homeowner’s insurance policies cover emergency tarping as part of the storm damage claim because it’s considered mitigation of further damage. We document the installation and provide a receipt that can be submitted with your claim. Confirm with your adjuster, but in most cases, yes.
A properly installed heavy-duty tarp can protect a roof opening for 90–180 days depending on conditions. It’s not a permanent repair—it’s protection while you schedule the permanent work. We follow up after every emergency tarp installation to schedule the repair or replacement.
Straight-line winds (common in Middle Tennessee severe thunderstorm events) that lift sections of shingles or blow off ridge caps. Fallen trees or large limbs during wind events. Hail that breaches the membrane. And winter storm ice damming that causes backed-up water to push under shingles—Tennessee had a federal winter storm disaster declaration in January 2026.
Call (615) 448-7720 any time of day or night. This is our direct line. Leave a message if no one answers immediately and we will return your call as fast as possible.
