Roofing Washington, One Home at a Time
We heat-shrink a taut, fully sealed membrane over storm-damaged roofs to lock out Northwest rain far better than a loose tarp.
When a section of roof is torn open, a flapping poly tarp often fails within a week of steady PNW drizzle. Shrink wrap is a heavier film that we fasten and then heat until it draws tight against the roof's contours, sealing seams and edges into a continuous skin. It sheds relentless rain, resists the wind that shreds ordinary tarps, and can protect a structure for months while repairs or a claim proceed. This is the covering of choice when the damage is extensive or the wait for permanent work is long. It buys you a genuinely dry building instead of a temporary gamble.
Sheds continuous Northwest rain far longer than a conventional tarp; Draws tight to resist the wind that tears loose coverings apart; Protects large or complex damage for months rather than days; Keeps the interior dry so secondary damage does not compound the loss
1) Assess the damaged area and the span requiring coverage; 2) Fasten the shrink film securely across the roof and its edges; 3) Apply controlled heat to shrink the membrane into a tight seal; 4) Inspect all seams and margins to confirm a watertight result
Square footage and geometry of the area to be wrapped; Roof height, pitch, and access for safe installation; Quantity of shrink film and fastening required; Expected duration the covering must remain in service; Complexity of sealing around penetrations and obstructions
Deploy shrink wrap the moment major damage occurs, especially heading into the wet season when reliable long-term protection matters most.
