CHOOSE THE RIGHT TEMPORARY PROTECTION
Blue tarps. Whole-roof shrink wrap. Smart-tarp options.
The right approach depends on the roof in front of us. SOS assesses the damage and confirms the available product, installation method, scope and follow-up before you authorize work.
01 / TARGETED COVERAGE
Blue-tarp protection
A practical temporary covering option for a damaged or exposed roof area while the next stage is planned.
Temporary covering is not a permanent roof repair or a guarantee against additional damage. Duration, weather limits and any inspection schedule belong in the written scope. Product and crew availability may vary.
FROM THE FIRST COVERING TO THE FINISHED WORK
The roof is one part of the recovery.
Keep the work connected, with clearly defined stages and a property specialist helping you understand what happens next.
01
Assess & stabilize
Discuss immediate conditions, safe access and temporary protection. Record the visible damage and the work authorized.
02
Repair or replace
Review the roof’s condition and a written scope. Targeted repair and full replacement are separate options, chosen for the actual property.
Plan the affected interior work, from ceilings and walls to the repairs identified during assessment. Drying, moisture or mold concerns may require qualified independent specialists before finishes are restored.
Keep the approved scopes, work records, photos and next-step responsibilities together. Review any remaining work and the terms that apply.
ONE PROPERTY-SPECIALIST CONTACT
A coordinated plan. The right professionals for each part.
SOS can help coordinate the construction sequence and introductions where additional expertise is needed. Ask your property specialist who owns each next step.
SOS construction work
Temporary roof protection, roof repair or replacement, and agreed interior or property-repair scopes.
Engineering
Independent engineers can evaluate structural or technical questions when their professional review is needed.
Moisture & remediation
Independent qualified professionals can assess drying, moisture and mold-related concerns within their licensed scope.
Insurance & legal guidance
Your insurer, a licensed public adjuster or an attorney handles coverage, claim representation or legal questions. SOS stays within construction documentation and coordination.
Engineers, remediation professionals, public adjusters and attorneys are independent professionals, not represented as SOS employees. Referrals and availability must be confirmed. You choose whom to engage; separate scopes, fees, agreements and professional duties may apply.
SOS can help with photographs of observed conditions, a construction scope, work records and invoices. Share those with the people you authorize to review them.

QUESTIONS BEFORE THE NEXT STEP
Know what you’re authorizing.
Protection, timing and responsibilities should be clear before work begins.
What is the difference between a blue tarp and shrink wrap?+
A blue tarp covers a selected damaged area. A whole-roof shrink-wrap option can be evaluated for broader protection. Roof shape, condition, access and the selected product determine what is suitable. SOS confirms the method, scope and check-in needs before work.
What do you mean by a smart tarp?+
Ask your property specialist about specialized or reusable tarp options and the product available for your roof. The written scope should identify how it is secured, any planned inspections and removal. Monitoring, sensors or automatic alerts are not included unless expressly confirmed.
Can you tarp the roof during a storm?+
Work starts only when weather, access and site conditions allow safe operations. Do not climb onto a roof or try to install a tarp during dangerous conditions. Call to discuss the next safe step; an online request is not a dispatch confirmation.
Will temporary protection stop every leak?+
Temporary protection is an interim measure, not a permanent roofing system or a guarantee against water entry. The scope, limitations and follow-up plan should be documented. Report any change in conditions so the team can reassess.
Can one person coordinate the roof and interior work?+
Ask SOS for a property specialist to coordinate the construction plan, documentation and next steps. Roof repair or replacement and interior restoration may require separate stages, scopes and qualified specialists. Independent partners confirm their own availability and terms.
Will insurance pay for tarping or restoration?+
Coverage, deductibles, limits and reimbursement depend on your policy and claim decision. SOS can document observed construction conditions, photographs and proposed work. SOS does not interpret policies, determine coverage, negotiate settlements or promise no out-of-pocket cost. Your insurer, licensed public adjuster or attorney can address those questions.
Should I send my policy or claim documents through this form?+
No. Start with contact details, ZIP code and a brief description without sensitive information. Ask your property specialist for a verified secure channel if documents are needed, and confirm who will receive them before sharing.
Share only the basic property and contact information. Ask about temporary protection, repairs or restoration. For active damage, call (850) 598-4891.
Timing depends on weather, access, complete property information, site conditions and crew availability. Concealed conditions are documented before added scope.
