If a storm just opened your roof, do not wait for the next gust to make it worse. Call our after-hours line, tell us what you can see from inside, and we will route a tarp crew toward your Olivette home with the photos and next steps ready.
When a midnight storm tears shingles off your Olivette ranch and water starts dripping into the hallway, every minute matters and every gallon matters. Top Quality Exteriors answers the call for emergency roof tarping st louis homeowners trust, with a real after-hours line that reaches a dispatcher and not voicemail. We stabilize the torn opening with heavy-duty poly sheeting, anchor it against wind, document every angle for your claim file, and stop the water before it ruins drywall, insulation, hardwood, or the joists below.
Most Olivette tarping calls follow the same pattern: a wind-driven thunderstorm rips up ridge cap, a falling limb from the tree canopy near Stacy Park punches the decking, or large hail shears off three-tab shingles on a 1950s gable. We arrive, climb the roof safely, cover the breach with a 6 mil heavy-duty tarp, lath it down with furring strips, and photograph the scope so your adjuster sees exactly what failed and where the water entered. From there we line up storm damage roofing work and a permit-compliant permanent fix.
Olivette homeowners learned the hard way after the May 16, 2025 EF3 tornado: when an estimated 5,000 roofs across the metro lost shingles, decking, and ridge caps in one night, tarp crews were the first line of defense before any permanent shingle work could be scheduled. The 63132 ZIP sits in one of the busiest hail corridors in the country, with the metro averaging three to five significant hail events each year, and the tree canopy that makes streets near Warson Park and Olive Boulevard so beautiful also drops heavy limbs onto roofs during straight-line winds and spring thunderstorms. Our 2-hour emergency tarp response covers homes from Oak Estates and Olivette Terrace to the older mid-century streets bordering Ladue and University City, and every job pairs immediate water control with the photo documentation your insurance adjuster needs to scope the loss correctly. When you are ready to move from temporary cover to the long-term fix, our storm damage restoration team carries the file from first tarp to final city inspection.
From the first phone call to a watertight tarp anchored against the next gust, our process is built for speed without cutting corners. Here is exactly what an Olivette homeowner can expect when the storm hits and you reach out for help.
You reach a live dispatcher around the clock, not a voicemail box. We log the address, type of damage, and any active water entry. A crew is routed within minutes of that call.
Our tarp truck rolls to your Olivette home with a 2-hour target on emergency calls. We park, set up, and walk the property before climbing the roof. Safety briefing comes first.
We climb the roof, inspect the breach, and check decking, flashing, and ridge cap. Every angle gets photographed for the claim file. You get a clear scope before any work begins.
A 6 mil heavy-duty tarp covers the breach, lapped above the leak line and tucked below. Furring strips lath it tight against wind, with sandbags as needed. Water flow is stopped.
We deliver photos, scope notes, and a written estimate ready for your insurance adjuster. You get clear next-step options. Permanent roof work is scheduled once the claim moves.
Top Quality Exteriors LLC was founded in 2022 by Mario Granados, with over 7 years of combined industry experience behind the crews that show up at your door. We are an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor and a BBB Accredited Business with an A+ rating, licensed in both Missouri and Illinois. Every tarp tech carries general liability and workers compensation coverage on the job, so no Olivette homeowner ever assumes risk for a roof crew on their property.
Beyond the credentials, what Olivette neighbors notice is the discipline. We do not show up in a magnetic-sign pickup truck after a hailstorm and disappear when the warranty matters. Our 36-month workmanship warranty covers the temporary tarp install just like it covers a full reroof, and our 52-plus team members are the same faces that return for the permanent repair once Olivette pulls the permit. That continuity is rare in storm season around the 63132 ZIP.
Most emergency tarp installs in the St. Louis metro run $1,000 to $2,000 depending on roof pitch, tarp size, after-hours timing, and how many lath strips and sandbags the wind calls for. Non-emergency tarp coverage during business hours typically runs about 40 percent less. A standard tarp lasts roughly two weeks before sun and wind start to degrade the poly, which is why we line up your permanent fix while the tarp is still anchored and watertight.
Here is the part most Olivette homeowners do not realize: a properly documented emergency tarp is almost always covered by homeowners insurance under loss-mitigation language in your policy. Missouri gives most policies a 12-month claim window, and your deductible (commonly $1,000 to $2,500) is usually the only out-of-pocket cost on the whole job. For the long-term fix, we can also schedule roof repair in Olivette once the adjuster signs off on the scope.
Every credential we carry is a commitment to quality, safety, and your peace of mind — on every project, in every state we serve.
