Everett Roof Pros provides professional emergency tarping in Everett, WA for residential and commercial properties across Snohomish County. An emergency closure has one job, which is to keep the building dry until a real repair can be scheduled. It is not a repair, it should never be sold as one, and it should always leave with a date attached.
What makes closures difficult in this county is repetition. Convergence cells arrive in trains, three or four across one unstable afternoon, and a cover that survived the first will be tested again before dark. Anything nailed loosely over shingles and weighted at the corners is gone by the second cell, usually taking a course of shingles with it. The second usually arrives before dark, and it is often the stronger of the two.
So we build closures to last a season rather than a night. Plywood or a heavy woven tarp goes down over the opening, held with battens screwed through into rafters or solid decking, edges lapped uphill so nothing collects at a seam. Fasteners go into structure. We record every penetration we made so it can be properly repaired later rather than discovered. Screws come out cleanly later, and nails do not.
We also close the drainage, not just the hole. A tree limb that has opened a plane has usually also crushed a gutter run or torn out a downspout, and leaving that unaddressed means the next burst goes straight down the wall while your patched roof performs perfectly. Both get stabilized on the same visit. A working roof over a broken gutter still puts the water where you do not want it.
Every closure leaves with a removal date written on the invoice, and we mean it. A cover on a roof stops water leaving as well as arriving, and a tarp left through a wet winter will grow moss on the shingles under it and hold moisture against a deck that needs to dry. Temporary work that becomes permanent does its own damage. We would rather come back and take it off than leave it and be thanked.
Inside, we tell you honestly what we can and cannot do. We can stop the ingress and we can pull down saturated insulation that is holding water against the ceiling. We are not a restoration contractor, and where drying equipment or mold remediation is warranted we will say so and let you call the right trade rather than pretending the trade is us. Knowing where our work stops is part of doing it properly.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — 26-gauge open W-valley metal with a raised center rib, three-by-four downspout outlets punched oversize through the trough bottom, through-wall overflow outlets set two inches above the membrane surface, externally baffled ridge vent with an integral weather filter, gutter apron run behind the drip edge and over the back of the trough, a drain sump recessed a full inch below the surrounding roof field — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Everett and nearby communities including Marysville, Mukilteo, Lake Stevens, Edmonds.

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 26-gauge open W-valley metal with a raised center rib, three-by-four downspout outlets punched oversize through the trough bottom, through-wall overflow outlets set two inches above the membrane surface, externally baffled ridge vent with an integral weather filter, 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 Everett 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 Snohomish County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Everett Chooses Everett Roof Pros
- ✓We count outlets and downspouts before we count squares, because in this city the covering is rarely the part that fails first. The path the water takes off it is.
- ✓We will not confirm hail damage in Everett. What falls out of a convergence cell here is graupel, and we would rather show you why it cannot bruise an asphalt mat than write you into a claim.
- ✓Any valley longer than eight feet gets open 26-gauge metal instead of a closed cut. A closed cut is a friction detail, and friction is what backs water up under the courses when it arrives all at once.
- ✓We will tell you a coating cannot fix a drainage problem, and we would rather lose the low-slope job than sell a film over a deck that ponds.
The standards behind emergency tarping
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The emergency tarping work we do in Everett 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 Everett 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.
