Burlington Roof Pros provides professional emergency tarping in Burlington, NC for residential and commercial properties across Alamance County and the central Piedmont. There is one condition in which we will not come to your roof, and it happens to be the condition Burlington gets most often. We do not put a crew on a glazed roof for any amount of money, and you should be wary of anyone who says otherwise.
Freezing rain leaves a clear film across shingles that no boot grips and no harness anchor can be safely set into, because setting one means finding a rafter through ice with a drill you cannot brace against anything. Tarping in those hours is how roofers get badly hurt, and a tarp fastened into a frozen deck pulls straight out anyway.
So here is what we tell people to do instead, and none of it costs anything. Move what matters out of the room. Put buckets under the drips and a folded towel in each bucket to kill the noise. If a ceiling is bulging, pierce the low point of the bulge with a screwdriver and let it drain into a bin rather than waiting for the plaster to come down at once.
Then photograph everything with the timestamp turned on, including the outside of the house and the weather itself, and call your carrier to open the claim the same day. The claim opens on the date of loss, not on the date somebody finally got a cover onto the roof, and carriers routinely accept reasonable delay for genuinely unsafe conditions. Note the temperature and what fell, in writing, while you remember it.
We come as soon as the surface releases, which in a Piedmont thaw is usually within a day and often within hours. Then the tarp goes on properly: carried over the ridge where the slope allows it, held down with furring battens instead of fasteners driven through open field shingles, and with every edge rolled so wind cannot get a purchase overnight.
Limb strikes, wind damage and vehicle impacts are a different matter and we respond to those immediately, day or night, in any weather that is safe to work in. A tree through a roof in July does not wait for anybody. The refusal above is specifically about ice, and it is the one call where the right answer is for us to stay off your property for a few hours.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — spike-and-ferrule hangers pulled through by glaze weight, hidden hangers screwed on twenty-four inch centers, five-quarter primed fascia stock back-primed on six faces, 0.032 aluminum drip edge lapped over the underlayment, eave protection membrane run well up the deck at the overhang, ring-shank nails set flush in the marked nail zone — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Burlington and nearby communities including Graham, Mebane, Elon, Gibsonville.

Materials, equipment and how we do emergency tarping
The difference between emergency tarping that lasts and emergency tarping that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with spike-and-ferrule hangers pulled through by glaze weight, hidden hangers screwed on twenty-four inch centers, five-quarter primed fascia stock back-primed on six faces, 0.032 aluminum drip edge lapped over the underlayment, 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 Burlington 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 Alamance County and the central Piedmont means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Burlington Chooses Burlington Roof Pros

The standards behind emergency tarping
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The emergency tarping work we do in Burlington follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
