Dalton Roof Pros provides professional emergency tarping in Dalton, GA for residential and commercial properties across northwest Georgia. April 2011 taught these counties what a genuinely bad night looks like. When a roof opens up here the response has to be quick, and it also has to be proportionate to what actually failed.
A tarp is a temporary roof and it gets installed like one. Material runs up over the ridge and down the far side wherever the geometry allows, edges rolled around furring strips and screwed through into solid decking so the wind has nothing to catch. Not laid flat and weighted with tires and scrap timber. A weighted tarp survives one storm, and around here the storm after a tornado is the one that gets inside.
The interior matters as much as the roof does. We take water out of a ceiling cavity by cutting a controlled drain hole in a place we choose, rather than letting a plaster ceiling carry forty pounds of it until the field comes down across a bedroom at two in the morning. Photographs before anything is touched, because the carrier wants the loss as it actually happened.
Plant and warehouse work is a different job again. On a membrane roof the emergency answer is not a tarp at all, it is a self-adhered patch or a welded section laid over the breach and installed while the building keeps running underneath. On a large deck we section and hold the damage rather than attempting to cover acreage in the dark with a crew that has been up since dawn.
Not everything that drips needs a tarp. If water is coming through one failed pipe boot, the honest answer is a short repair on the next dry morning, and paying an emergency mobilization for that is money set on fire. We ask three questions on the telephone and tell you which situation you are actually in before anybody gets into a truck.
Understand that a tarp buys weeks, not months. Sun and wind chew through poly quickly on a south-facing plane, and a tarped roof left through a Georgia summer will be leaking again by August. We put the tarp date on the invoice, so that when a claim drags on, everybody involved knows precisely how long the temporary has been temporary. It is a small thing that has settled more than one argument with an adjuster here.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — eave intake vent set behind the drip edge, boxed-cornice fascia spliced and milled to profile, twenty-nine-gauge exposed-fastener panel on purlin roof-overs, high-temperature self-adhered membrane under relaid barrel tile, saw-cut reglet counterflashing bedded in the mortar joint, self-adhered SBS cap sheet on rear-addition shed roofs — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Dalton and nearby communities including Varnell, Tunnel Hill, Cohutta, Chatsworth.

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 eave intake vent set behind the drip edge, boxed-cornice fascia spliced and milled to profile, twenty-nine-gauge exposed-fastener panel on purlin roof-overs, high-temperature self-adhered membrane under relaid barrel tile, 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 Dalton 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 northwest Georgia means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Dalton Chooses Dalton Roof Pros
- ✓We put the roof's square count on the estimate, because on the small planes common here it decides repair against replacement more than any product choice does.
- ✓We price a repair and compare it against your deductible before anyone mentions filing a claim, and we tell you plainly when the arithmetic says do not file.
- ✓Boxed-cornice houses get a ventilation answer built for them, using eave intake at the drip edge or gable cross-flow rather than a soffit vent that cannot be cut.
- ✓Manufactured-home roofing is ordinary work here, not an exception, and a framed metal roof-over on purlins gets quoted properly instead of being waved away.

Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The emergency tarping work we do in Dalton 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.
