Aurora Roof Pros provides professional emergency tarping in Aurora, IL for residential and commercial properties across the Fox River valley. Tarping is emergency protection, not construction, and that distinction is worth more in Aurora than the tarp itself. Protecting a damaged building from further loss is not an improvement, and it does not go onto the running total the city keeps for structures in the mapped hazard area.
Which means the right sequence after a bad night is: stop the water, document everything, and then decide. A homeowner who lets a contractor start permanent repairs at eight the next morning has given up the chance to think about scope, and on a low-value structure near the river scope has legal consequences beyond the invoice.
The tarping itself is a craft that most companies do badly. A tarp thrown over a ridge and weighted with lumber will flap itself to pieces in the first wind and take shingles with it. We run the tarp over the ridge with a wrapped batten at the top edge, fasten through battens rather than through the field, and lap seams downslope so water runs over the joint rather than into it.
On a board deck we are careful where the fasteners go, because every hole is a hole in a deck we may be re-nailing next month. On tile we tarp over battens rather than directly on the pieces, since walking a fifty-year-old clay field to install emergency protection is how a small loss becomes a large one. Emergency work should not create the next repair on the same roof.
Then the documentation, and this is the part that pays. Photographs of every slope before anything is covered, wide and close, with a date. Interior photographs of every stain and every wet ceiling. A written note of what we found and what we did. That file is what a fair claim rests on, and it is also what a substantial-damage determination will be argued against if it ever comes to that.
A tarp is good for weeks, not seasons. We tell you how long the one we installed will realistically last through an Illinois winter, and we come back and re-secure it rather than pretending it is a roof. If someone is willing to leave a tarp on your house until spring without checking it, that is not patience, it is neglect. A tarp is a promise with a short expiry date on it.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — laminated fibreglass shingles meeting ASTM D3462 at six nails per shingle, 1x6 square-edge board sheathing with skip gaps over rafters at 24 inches, double-lock standing seam formed on site from 24-gauge steel coil, granulated cap sheet carried up the adjoining wall as a base flashing, step flashing woven course by course into soft common-brick sidewalls, chimney taken down below the deck line with a framed and sheathed infill — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Aurora and nearby communities including North Aurora, Montgomery, Oswego, Yorkville.

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 laminated fibreglass shingles meeting ASTM D3462 at six nails per shingle, 1x6 square-edge board sheathing with skip gaps over rafters at 24 inches, double-lock standing seam formed on site from 24-gauge steel coil, granulated cap sheet carried up the adjoining wall as a base flashing, 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 Aurora 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 Fox River valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Aurora Chooses Aurora Roof Pros
- ✓We read the Fox River flood map for your address before we price anything, because inside the mapped hazard area the city counts what you spend on the building and that count has a ceiling.
- ✓Every estimate states in one line whether we treat the work as maintenance, repair or improvement, and shows the figure against the structure's assessed improvement value.
- ✓On the low-lying older neighbourhoods we quote staged replacement by slope, so a house does not trip the fifty percent rule in a single season.
- ✓We refuse tile conversions on 1990s truss framing without a structural engineer's letter, and we say so before you have paid anyone for a design.
The standards behind emergency tarping
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The emergency tarping work we do in Aurora 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 Aurora 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.
