Fullerton Roof Pros provides professional emergency tarping and dry-in in Fullerton, CA for residential and commercial properties across north Orange County. The instinct in an emergency is to get a tarp on the roof. On a tile roof that instinct will cost you more than the leak, because you cannot drag a tarp across two-piece barrel tile without breaking a great deal of it.
So the method changes with the roof. On tile we work from one defined access path with foam pads and walk boards, lift tile along that path rather than walking the open field, and dry in the affected area with self-adhered membrane bonded directly to the deck below. That is a repair that stays watertight and gets tiled back over later, instead of a blue sheet held down by broken tile and sandbags.
On composition and low-slope planes a mechanically fastened cover is the right answer, and there is a right way to do it. Fasteners land in the field of the plane above the damage, not into a valley or a flashing, the cover laps under the course above so water runs over it, edges are battened rather than left to flutter, and nothing is nailed through a plane we will have to make good afterwards.
Just as often the first useful move is inside the house. Relieving a bulging plaster ceiling with a controlled cut, catching water into a hose run to a drain, moving what can be moved and getting air across the wet framing prevents more damage than anything we could do on the roof in the dark. In heavy wind, going up is also the wrong call for our crew.
We document everything as we go, because emergency work has a way of erasing the evidence of what caused it. Dated photographs of the failure before we cover it, the interior condition room by room, and the temporary work itself once it is on. If a claim follows later, that sequence is exactly the part adjusters ask for and almost nobody actually has.
A dry-in is temporary and we say exactly how temporary. A properly bonded membrane patch will hold through a season, a mechanically fastened cover through a storm cycle, and a tarp through a weekend. You get a straight answer on which one you have, what it will survive, and what the permanent repair costs, so the emergency measure does not quietly become the permanent arrangement.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — spaced 1x6 skip sheathing, two-piece mission barrel tile, straight 1x8 shiplap decking, self-adhered SBS modified bitumen underlayment, mortar-set hip and ridge tile, flat-lock soldered copper pans — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Fullerton and nearby communities including Brea, Placentia, La Habra, Buena Park.

Materials, equipment and how we do emergency tarping and dry-in
The difference between emergency tarping and dry-in that lasts and emergency tarping and dry-in that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with spaced 1x6 skip sheathing, two-piece mission barrel tile, straight 1x8 shiplap decking, self-adhered SBS modified bitumen underlayment, 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 Fullerton 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 north Orange County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
