Emergency roof leak repair
Active water coming in now
Tarping is the first job after a storm, not the repair. Stopping water getting in buys the time to do the permanent fix properly — and to document what happened before anyone touches it.

South Pasadena sits on a stretch of coast where hurricane exposure is the defining fact of roofing. Sustained wind drives rain horizontally under shingle courses that would shed any vertical downpour, and it works tabs loose over hours rather than tearing them off — so the roof reads as undamaged right up until the next storm. Between seasons, the heat and humidity across Pinellas County harden every rubber and sealant component and keep anything that gets wet from drying. The insurance picture matters as much as the weather here: Florida's market has reshaped how roof claims are handled, deductibles for named storms are calculated differently from ordinary ones, and documentation taken before any work starts is what decides how a claim goes.
