This is a genuinely simple service with an outsized impact: a properly secured tarp over storm or fire damage at the chimney top, or boarding to secure a damaged firebox opening, buys time to schedule the real repair correctly instead of rushing it under pressure.

What the service includes
Frequently asked questions
How quickly can you respond for emergency tarping?
We treat this as a priority same-day service, since the whole point is stopping active damage as fast as possible.
Will a tarp actually hold up in another storm?
A properly secured, weather-rated tarp is built to handle another storm while you wait for the permanent repair, though it’s still a temporary measure, not a long-term solution.
How long can a temporary tarp or board stay up?
We’d recommend scheduling the permanent repair as soon as reasonably possible, ideally within a couple of weeks, rather than treating the temporary fix as a long-term solution.
Does this count toward the cost of the permanent repair?
We’ll walk through pricing clearly for both the emergency response and the follow-up permanent repair, so you know what to expect for each.
