How To Tarp A Roof

Показать описание

Welcome to Schoen Roofing!

In this video we will be going over the steps involved and materials needed to tarp a roof.

We get a lot of spring and fall wind storms in our area of Canada and this is a regular repair we have to perform.
We have abandoned the traditional tarp method for one that uses synthetic underlayment as the main water deflector. It is much easier to deal with in the wind and less expensive.

Please share this video with anyone who may be interested in seeing how a roof gets tarped after wind damage.

Thank you,
Chris

Quick word of advice for your future videos: keep the background music volume lower than your voice; your lesson & advice is more valuable than the music.

State Farm says “no damage to see here”

You don't need to field nail like that for one. For a tarp that small, you don't need batten strips if you perimeter nail every 6"- 9". I've done massive tarps after hurricanes and never used strips and the very rare occasion that I field nail it'll be every 4 square feet. Two, you should use cap nails for tarping.

1.) What distance between screws would you recommend for the strapping and 2.) Could you have laid a piece of strapping horizontally on the other side of the ridge and used screws there as well?

Nice work, curious what length nails and screws you recommend for a repair like this also, have you had good luck with the dewalt cordless ring nailer? thanks

Good information. Background music is too loud.

Thanks! This was great info.

Was there any reason why you extended the strapping past the ridge? If not, no worries. It's just my OCD talking lol.

USAA says “our guidelines state that this is not damaged”.

May be the obvious, but my question is… was that underlayment used for roofing as opposed to the traditional tarp? And in fact will hold up alot longer?
