Racine Roof Pros provides professional emergency tarping in Racine, WI for residential and commercial properties across the Racine and Kenosha lakeshore. A tarp buys you time and it also stops your roof drying, which in Racine matters more than it does most places. We put them on the same day you call, and we tell you the date it has to come back off before we leave the property.
That is not a sales tactic. Under a tarp the assembly gets no sun, no air movement and no chance to give up the water already inside it. On this shore the deck was probably not fully dry before the storm arrived. Two weeks under plastic can do more to sheathing than the night that opened the roof did. We install over battens, not under weight.
The tarp goes across the ridge where the geometry allows, wrapped around furring strips and fastened through into structure, fasteners sealed, edges lapped so water sheds rather than pools. A sandbagged sheet flaps itself apart in the first easterly and then you have two problems instead of one, usually at two in the morning. Fastened properly, a tarp holds through a winter gale. Interior work comes with it.
If a ceiling is already holding water we relieve it in a controlled spot rather than let it come down on its own. Then containment below, and air movers running in the attic. From the first hour the goal is an assembly that is drying while the roof is still covered, because those two things fight each other and the drying has to win.
We photograph everything before the tarp goes on and send you the file the same day. Adjusters cannot inspect what sits under a tarp, and a documented condition at the time of loss is worth more to your claim than anything anyone can reconstruct afterward. We send it whether or not you hire us for the permanent repair, and whether or not you file at all. Then we take it off on schedule.
If we cannot get the permanent repair done inside the window we promised, we pull the tarp on a dry day, let the roof breathe, and re-cover it. We would rather do that twice than leave one on all winter. Tarps are triage, not a roof. A contractor who leaves one on your house for three months while a claim grinds along has quietly transferred the cost of that delay onto your sheathing.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — hand-sealed shingle tabs set in spots of asphalt roof cement, pin-type moisture readings logged on the deck bay by bay, 1x6 plank sheathing laid with open gaps between boards, core cuts taken through a low-slope assembly to check the insulation, an above-sheathing airspace on a batten and counter-batten grid, two-piece counterflashing set into a ground-out mortar reglet — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Racine and nearby communities including Mount Pleasant, Caledonia, Kenosha, Pleasant Prairie.

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 hand-sealed shingle tabs set in spots of asphalt roof cement, pin-type moisture readings logged on the deck bay by bay, 1x6 plank sheathing laid with open gaps between boards, core cuts taken through a low-slope assembly to check the insulation, 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 Racine 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 the Racine and Kenosha lakeshore means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Racine Chooses Racine Roof Pros
- ✓We take a moisture reading on the north slope before we quote, because the March number is the one that tells you what the deck has actually been living with
- ✓Any tear-off we install before the middle of May gets its field tabs hand-sealed, because a lakefront spring does not deliver the surface temperature a factory sealant strip needs
- ✓Every coating and sealant proposal carries a written dew point limit and substrate moisture limit, and we reschedule rather than spray when the numbers are wrong
- ✓No recover over an existing low-slope roof without a core cut first, and we hand you the core rather than describing it
The standards behind emergency tarping
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The emergency tarping work we do in Racine 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.
Every emergency tarping project in Racine gets the same attention, whether it is a single room or a full commercial job. We show up on schedule, keep the site clean, and stand behind the work — the estimate is free and there is no pressure.
