Lakewood Premium Roofing provides professional emergency tarping in Lakewood, CO for residential and commercial properties across the west Denver metro. A tarp is a temporary dry-in, and how long it lasts here depends entirely on how it was fastened. In freezing weather adhesives do not bond, so anything relying on stickiness is a few days of protection sold as a few months.
So our winter tarping is mechanical. Reinforced poly is run over the ridge where the damage allows it, wrapped around furring battens, and screwed through those battens into rafters rather than pinned to the field with roofing nails through the sheet. Battens spread the load, keep fastener holes out of the drainage path, and give the sheet something solid to pull against when the wind comes down off the foothills at three in the morning.
Direction matters as much as fastening. A tarp lapped the wrong way funnels meltwater under itself and does more harm than the hole it covered. We run it uphill past the damage, over the ridge where we can, and shingle the laps so the water path stays continuous. An edge left mid-slope gets tucked under a course rather than standing proud, because a proud edge is a scoop.
Interior protection happens on the same visit. Water already inside the assembly keeps moving after the roof is covered, so we relieve trapped water where it is pooling above a ceiling, set containment under the drip, and tell you honestly which areas of drywall and insulation will have to come out regardless of how fast the roof got covered.
We also set expectations about duration in plain terms. A well-built battened tarp in this climate is a four to six week solution rather than a season, because ultraviolet exposure and wind cycling break poly down faster at altitude than most people expect them to. If the permanent repair cannot happen inside that window, the right move is a temporary membrane dry-in over the affected deck instead, and we will price both.
What we will not do is treat the tarp as though it were the job itself, or leave without telling you what the permanent repair looks like. The visit includes photographs of the actual damage before anything covers it, because once a tarp is on nobody can document what is underneath. That record is what makes the permanent repair, and any claim attached to it, straightforward rather than an argument.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — counterflashing cut into a mortar reglet, lead pipe-boot flashings with fastened storm collars, ASTM C920 Class 50 polyurethane joint sealant, 24-gauge hemmed valley pans, concealed-clip standing seam steel panels, heat-welded TPO target patches at penetrations — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Lakewood and nearby communities including Golden, Wheat Ridge, Arvada, Edgewater.

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 counterflashing cut into a mortar reglet, lead pipe-boot flashings with fastened storm collars, ASTM C920 Class 50 polyurethane joint sealant, 24-gauge hemmed valley pans, 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 Lakewood 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 west Denver metro means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

- ✓Cold-weather work is mechanically fastened and hand-sealed by design, and we say so in writing instead of trusting adhesive that will not bond
- ✓We quote the smaller repair when the field does not need replacing, and put the reasoning in the estimate rather than in a conversation
