Greenwood Premium Roofing provides professional emergency tarping in Greenwood, IN for residential and commercial properties across the Johnson County side of the Indianapolis metro. We will tarp a roof at midnight when a tarp is the right tool. Often it is not, and after a wind event in Greenwood the honest answer is more frequently a same-day repair than a sheet of blue plastic held down with whatever is to hand.
The reason is the same reason the damage happened. A tarp on an open, unsheltered plane is a large sail with a lot of edge, and the wind that took your shingles has no more trouble with polyethylene. A badly fixed tarp snaps all night, enlarges its own fixings, and by morning has transferred the problem from twelve missing tabs to a torn sheet and forty new holes.
So the first question we ask on the phone is what is actually open. Missing tabs with the underlayment intact beneath them are not an emergency and can wait for daylight and matching material. Bare deck, split sheathing, a tree through the roof or water already coming through a ceiling is an emergency, and that is when we come out in the dark. Water in a light fitting is an electrical problem first.
When we do tarp, it goes on properly. The sheet runs over the ridge wherever the geometry allows so no upslope edge can catch air. Edges are wrapped around wood battens and screwed through the batten, which spreads the load and puts the fixings where we already intend to replace material. Nothing gets stapled into a field we want to keep. A tarp buys you two weeks, not a season, and we book the repair before leaving.
Tree strikes get treated as structure before they get treated as roof. We look at what the trunk did to the rafters or truss chords before anything is covered, because a tarp over a broken chord hides the part that matters to your insurer and to whoever repairs it. Photographs come first, then protection, then the conversation about scope. The photographs go to you the same night, not a week later.
Temporary work is billed as temporary work and is not a deposit on a roof. You are free to have the permanent repair done by anyone you like, and we will hand over the photographs and the measurements either way. Emergency access is a poor moment to be asked to sign a contract, and we will not put you in it. The advice at two in the morning is the same advice you get at noon.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — ASTM D7158 Class H wind-rated laminate shingles, six-nail fastening set on the common bond line, full starter strip run up both rakes, not only the eaves, hemmed aluminum rake metal and eave drip edge, self-adhered ice barrier at the eave line, synthetic underlayment fixed with capped fasteners — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Greenwood and nearby communities including Franklin, Bargersville, New Whiteland, Whiteland.

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 ASTM D7158 Class H wind-rated laminate shingles, six-nail fastening set on the common bond line, full starter strip run up both rakes, not only the eaves, hemmed aluminum rake metal and eave drip edge, 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 Greenwood 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 Johnson County side of the Indianapolis metro means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Greenwood Chooses Greenwood Premium Roofing
- ✓We scope the windward plane and the sheltered plane as two separate questions, and price them that way, because on an exposed Greenwood lot they are not in the same condition.
- ✓We establish whether your address is inside the Greenwood city limits or in unincorporated White River or Pleasant Township before quoting, because it decides which building authority signs the work off.
- ✓We photograph creased tabs individually. A folded shingle that dropped back into place has already failed, and it is the finding most often walked past on a Johnson County roof.
- ✓We will not coat, seal or rejuvenate a steep-slope asphalt roof, and we turn that work away several times a season rather than sell something that cannot reach the failed bond line.
The standards behind emergency tarping
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The emergency tarping work we do in Greenwood 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.
Every emergency tarping project in Greenwood gets the same attention, whether it is a single room or a full commercial job. We show up on schedule, keep the site clean, and stand behind the work — the estimate is free and there is no pressure.
