After a storm, the fastest thing you can do is call. Our 24/7 emergency line puts you straight through to someone who can dispatch a tarping crew to your Des Peres address. Every minute the wall stays open is a minute water is moving inside.
When wind-driven hail or a fallen limb rips a panel off a Des Peres home mid-storm, the sheathing behind that gap starts drinking water within minutes and moisture creeps into the framing. Emergency siding tarping in Des Peres, MO is the stopgap that buys you the days you need before permanent siding repair work can begin. Top Quality Exteriors dispatches crews after wind and hail events so exposed walls, torn house wrap, and missing panels are sealed off before rain, humidity, or hidden insulation damage compound behind the wall.
Our emergency siding tarping process uses commercial-grade tarps, house wrap, cap nails, and furring strips to create a wind- and water-tight seal across missing panels — the same system we use for emergency roof tarping. On homes in the 1970s Dougherty Woods and Four Winds Farm subdivisions where original hardboard siding tends to shatter under limb strikes, we anchor to sound framing without punching new holes in surrounding good siding. Once the tarp is set, we photograph the damage, then schedule a quote for storm damage siding repair or replacement.
Des Peres sits inside the West County band that took the brunt of the May 16, 2025 EF3 tornado, and West County storm history stretches back to the April 24, 2010 tornado that touched down here directly. St. Louis sits in one of the most active hail corridors in the country, averaging three to five significant hail events per year — a stat that plays out on the ground as torn panels, punctured house wrap, and blown-out J-channel. When the emergency line rings after a hail-and-wind event, the clock is already running. Rain infiltrates within hours through even a small gap in the weather barrier; overnight humidity soaks the OSB or plywood sheathing; and insulation batts wick moisture into the cavity where drywall and framing pay the price. Tarping is not the fix — it is the pause button that keeps the interior dry while you line up permanent siding repair work. Our crews strap in cap-nailed tarps, house wrap patches, and furring strips that can hold through the next storm cell without becoming projectiles themselves.
When the emergency line rings, we don’t leave you guessing. Here’s how our crews move from your first call to a fully weatherproofed exterior — five stages designed to protect your home now and set up the permanent siding fix later.
You call the 24/7 emergency line and reach a real person, not a machine. We log the address, damage type, and current weather window. A crew heads out to your Des Peres property.
Our crew arrives in marked trucks with tarps, wrap, and fasteners. We walk the exterior together to confirm every breach. Then we mark priority tarping zones and stage materials.
We wrap the exposed sheathing, then anchor tarp with cap nails and furring strips. Seams are lapped and taped for wind-driven rain. This seal holds through the next storm cell.
We photograph every breach, tarp point, and interior water sign. The photo set gives your carrier what it needs to open a claim. You keep every image before we leave the driveway.
Within days we return with a written quote for the permanent fix. Options include patch repair, full re-clad, or whole-house replacement. We book the crew as soon as you approve.
Top Quality Exteriors was founded in 2022, but our crew brings more than seven years of hands-on industry experience to every emergency callout. We’re an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor and a James Hardie Alliance Program Member — two standings that show we install to spec on the roofs and siding above your tarped wall. The company also holds BBB Accredited Business status with an A+ rating and is licensed in both Missouri and Illinois.
Our workmanship warranty runs 36 months on every job, and extended lifetime coverage is available on select product lines. The team is 52+ crew members strong, so when the emergency line rings we can staff a real tarping response instead of subcontracting the work out. Homeowners across West County call us because we show up in marked trucks, do the interim protection right the first time, and come back to finish the permanent siding repair or replacement.
Emergency siding tarping in Des Peres runs on a small-scope pricing model — most single-breach jobs land in the low hundreds for materials and labor, and a whole-side tarp on a larger custom home climbs higher based on square footage and access. What you’re paying for is the crew time, the cap-nail and furring anchor system, and the photo documentation that follows. Ballpark numbers should always be confirmed after an in-person walk-through of the damage.
Insurance often covers emergency tarping as part of the storm-loss claim, though your out-of-pocket depends on your deductible and RCV/ACV terms. In Missouri most homeowner policies give twelve months to file a hail or wind claim — the point is tarping does not have to be paid upfront if you have coverage. Homeowners near West County Center ask us this all the time; we tell them to file first, save receipts, and let the numbers sort out on the back end.
Every credential we carry is a commitment to quality, safety, and your peace of mind — on every project, in every state we serve.
