Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is roof tarping covered by insurance?
Most homeowner policies cover emergency tarping and temporary repairs as part of your claim. These costs are typically included in your settlement once your insurer reviews the documentation.
Q: How quickly can Cornerstone Restoration respond?
We provide 24/7 emergency response. In most cases, our crews can arrive within a few hours, depending on storm conditions and distance.
Q: Do I need to pay for emergency services upfront?
No. If your loss is covered by insurance, emergency services are billed to your carrier after claim approval. For non-insured losses, we’ll provide an upfront estimate before work begins.
Q: How long does roof tarping last?
A professional tarp installation can protect your home for 30–90 days, depending on weather conditions. It’s intended as a temporary solution until permanent repairs are made.
Q: What should I do before you arrive?
If it’s safe, move valuables and electronics away from leaking areas, place buckets or towels to collect water, and avoid contact with standing water near outlets. Do not attempt to climb on the roof.
Q: Do you handle both residential and commercial emergencies?
Yes. We provide emergency response for homes, multi-family buildings, and commercial properties.
