Understanding the Service

Longer-Lasting Roof Protection

Traditional tarps often fail in Rochester winds within days. Shrink wrap forms a tight, seamless membrane over damaged roof areas—shedding water and staying put far longer.

Rock Emergency installs residential shrink wrap when tarping alone is not enough or when repairs will take weeks or months.

STEP BY STEP

How We Handle Your Cleanup

Tap each step to see what happens and why it matters for your home.

Step 1 of 5

Damage Assessment

We inspect roof geometry, structural stability, and timeline to permanent repair. Shrink wrap works on many pitched and low-slope residential roofs.

What We Do For You

Durable protection through delayed repairs.

Seamless membrane sheds rain and snow without the gaps tarps develop at seams and grommets.

Proper anchoring and shrinking keep coverage in place through Rochester storms.

Tight white membrane is less conspicuous than billowing blue tarps on residential streets.

Photos and scope notes support mitigation coverage on your claim.

Know the Signs

When Shrink Wrap Makes Sense

Consider upgrade from tarps if you see these.

Tarp repeatedly blowing off the roof

Permanent repairs scheduled weeks or months out

Large roof area too big for standard tarp overlap

HOA or neighborhood concern about tarp appearance

Active leaks despite existing tarp coverage

Winter approaching with open roof sections
