What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site
- Spreading reinforced tarp sheeting over the damaged area and past the ridge so water runs off instead of under it.
- Anchoring the tarp with wood battens screwed through the sheeting rather than loose ties alone.
- Checking the attic or ceiling below for wet insulation and drips and setting out containment.
How it works
- Assess from the ground and the attic first; no one climbs a wet, icy or wind-loaded roof.
- Cut the tarp to cover the damage with generous overlap and roll its edges around battens.
- Fasten the battens, check for gaps, and photograph the damage and the tarp for your records.
- Referred out: shingle, underlayment and roof deck repair goes to a licensed roofing contractor.
What happens next
- The written scope and price come first; the tarp is a stopgap that holds until a roofer makes the permanent repair.
- Photograph the damage before anything is moved and keep every receipt; 24/7 Express Handyman Service provides an itemised invoice your insurer may ask for. The dispatch fee and job cost are paid by you on the day.
