Dayton Roof Pros provides professional emergency tarping in Dayton, OH for residential and commercial properties across the Miami Valley. A tarp in the Miami Valley has to do considerably more than cover a hole. Any water that gets beneath it will freeze in the folds and the seams, and ice will lever a poorly fastened tarp off a roof faster than wind will, usually overnight.
So we do not sandbag anything. A tarp goes on rolled from the ridge, run past the damaged area by at least four feet on all four sides, and battened with furring strips screwed through the fabric into the deck so every fastener is clamped under wood rather than tearing slowly through poly. The upslope edge tucks under a shingle course so water runs over the top of it instead of straight into it.
That is the whole difference between a covering that holds until we can properly re-roof and one that is flapping loose after the first thaw. We use woven polyethylene at ten mil or heavier rather than the hardware-store blue, and we photograph the deck underneath before it is covered so there is a permanent record of what the damage actually was.
We are honest about the timeline, which not everybody is. A properly installed tarp buys weeks, not a season. Every crossing works at the fasteners and along the batten line, and a tarp left up through February is a tarp that will need re-fastening at least once before spring. We tell homeowners that at installation rather than after it has let go in the middle of the night.
There is also a point past which we will not go up on your roof. Ice on a pitched Dayton roof after dark is not a judgment call, and neither is active wind at the eave. In those conditions we do interior containment instead, catch the water at the ceiling with poly and a drain path, and come back at first light with proper footing.
Tarping is priced as its own line and credited in full against the permanent repair when we do the work, so calling us out in an emergency does not cost you the option of getting other quotes. Fasteners come out and the holes are sealed when the permanent work is done. We answer the phone ourselves rather than routing storm calls to a service, and we will say honestly if we cannot reach you before morning.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — cold-flexible SBS-modified shingle mats, self-adhering underlayment turned up behind the sidewall siding, lead wedges holding counterflashing in a repointed joint, hemmed 26-gauge valley metal bedded on membrane, lead-sleeve pipe boots in place of bare neoprene collars, kickout diverters where a roof dies into a sidewall — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Dayton and nearby communities including Kettering, Beavercreek, Huber Heights, Fairborn.

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 cold-flexible SBS-modified shingle mats, self-adhering underlayment turned up behind the sidewall siding, lead wedges holding counterflashing in a repointed joint, hemmed 26-gauge valley metal bedded on membrane, 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 Dayton 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 Miami Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Dayton Chooses Dayton Roof Pros
- ✓We price the deck before we price the shingles, because in a climate that crosses freezing this often the sheathing is what decides the job
- ✓Every proposal names the shingle line, underlayment, flashing metal and gauge, fastening pattern and ventilation plan, so two bids can actually be compared
- ✓We will tell you a roof has six good years left and put that in writing, rather than quoting a replacement you do not need yet
- ✓Chimneys get tuckpointed before any counterflashing goes into the joint, because bedding new metal in crumbling mortar is a two-year repair
The standards behind emergency tarping
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The emergency tarping work we do in Dayton 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 Dayton 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.
