$450 standard tarp
Up to 400 sq ft, fastened correctly. Stops active intrusion so insulation and drywall stop taking water.
Active leak · Metro Detroit
Emergency roof tarp.
Stop the water first.
If water is coming in now, we fasten a proper tarp — not a loose blue sheet — then schedule the permanent repair. Standard tarp $450 up to 400 sq ft; $200 of that credits toward the fix. Large / multi-slope $750–$1,200.
What’s included
Clear scope. Published prices.
$200 repair credit
When we return for the permanent repair, $200 of the tarp fee comes off that invoice.
Then the real fix
Tarping is temporary on purpose. We diagnose and quote the flat-rate repair next — still no replacement pitch.
When to call for a tarp
Call when water is actively entering, a tree opened the deck, or a storm peeled a section and rain is still in the forecast. We’ll tell you honestly if a tarp is needed or if a same-day permanent repair is enough.
We serve Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb. After hours, leave a message or use the photo form on the homepage — we’ll call back and prioritize active leaks.
