New Braunfels Roof Pros provides professional emergency roof tarping in New Braunfels, TX for residential and commercial properties across the southern Hill Country. Tarping is triage. The point is to keep tonight's water out of the building without creating damage that has to be repaired tomorrow, and on a metal roof that second half is harder than most people expect.
You cannot nail a tarp to a panel roof. Every fastener through the face is a new hole in a surface that was watertight, and a hundred staples along a batten is a hundred leaks by next month. We weight and strap instead: sandbagged battens laid over the tarp, straps run to the ribs and to structure, and edges tucked under panel laps where the geometry allows it. Holes cost more than the tarp does.
On shingles the batten method is right, and the batten goes through the tarp into a rafter, on the dry side of the damage, with the tarp folded around the wood so fasteners sit inside the fold. Done that way the holes are covered and the tarp survives the next blow instead of flogging itself apart by morning. Battens run across the slope, never up it. The tarp is stretched, not draped, so it cannot pool.
Sizing is a judgment call. A tarp stopping six inches short of the ridge does nothing, because water arrives from above it. We carry it over the ridge and down the far slope, and we cover a whole plane rather than the visible hole, because the hole you can see is rarely the full extent of what opened up. Two smaller tarps overlapped in shingle fashion beat one that is fighting the wind.
Access after a storm here can be the slow part. Low water crossings on the creeks close, and the river roads flood before the highway does. We route around them and we tell you honestly how long that will take rather than giving an optimistic window and then not arriving until the following afternoon. We call from the road with an updated time rather than letting the window pass in silence.
A tarp is good for weeks, not months. Ultraviolet exposure takes ordinary poly apart quickly in this sun, so we use heavier reinforced material and we come back to check strapping after the next storm. Anyone who covers a roof and disappears until the insurance money lands has left you a second problem. The tarp comes off as part of the permanent repair and it is not billed twice. We note the date it went on.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — 24-gauge striated standing seam panel, PBR exposed-fastener panel, floating clips at panel mid-span, bonded EPDM washers under fastener heads, high-temperature self-adhered underlayment, butyl tape sidelap sealant — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve New Braunfels and nearby communities including Seguin, San Marcos, Kyle, Schertz.

Materials, equipment and how we do emergency roof tarping
The difference between emergency roof tarping that lasts and emergency roof tarping that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with 24-gauge striated standing seam panel, PBR exposed-fastener panel, floating clips at panel mid-span, bonded EPDM washers under fastener heads, 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 New Braunfels 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 southern Hill Country means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
