Nashville Premium Roofing provides professional emergency tarping in Nashville, TN for residential and commercial properties across Middle Tennessee. When a limb comes through a roof at night, the goal is not a tidy repair. It is stopping water and keeping the ceiling up until daylight. On a wooded lot that job has an order to it, and plenty of emergency crews get the order wrong.
You cannot tarp under a limb. If wood is still lying across the opening or hanging over it, the tarp will not lie flat, wind will get beneath it, and the first serious gust takes the tarp plus another few squares of shingle. So we rig and remove the wood first, in controlled sections, and only then cover the hole.
Second, we clear before we cover. A slope carrying a thick mat of storm-stripped leaf will not let a tarp seal along its lower edge, and water pushed under that edge runs straight into the opening we have just covered. Ten minutes with a blower across the surrounding field is the difference between a tarp that works and one that leaks anyway.
The tarp itself gets fastened, not weighted. We run it well over the ridge so no seam faces uphill, sandwich the edges between furring strips, and screw those strips through into the deck. Every screw hole gets sealed when the tarp comes off and the permanent repair goes in. Sandbags and bricks are a two-day solution at best. Screwed battens hold through the next round of weather, which in a Middle Tennessee spring usually arrives inside the week.
Inside the house we deal with trapped water. A bulging drywall ceiling holds a surprising amount of it, and relieving that with a small controlled hole over a bucket saves the whole ceiling rather than losing it in one collapse. Move what you can out of the room before we start. We also pull wet insulation out of the affected bays, because leaving it there is how a one-room repair becomes a mould remediation.
Then we document. Photographs of the wood in place before anybody moves it, of the opening, of the framing underneath and of the interior damage, all timestamped. If a claim follows, that evidence has to be captured before the cleanup, because once the limb is off the roof nobody can reconstruct it. Send us the photographs even if you end up using another contractor.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — SBS-modified asphalt shingles with a reinforced fibreglass mat, open valley metal in 26-gauge painted steel with a hemmed edge and centre rib, hidden gutter hangers screwed on 24-inch centres into solid fascia backing, 6-inch K-style gutter with 3x4 downspout outlets, ice-and-water membrane carried past the interior wall line at eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment rated for 180-day UV exposure — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Nashville and nearby communities including Franklin, Brentwood, Hendersonville, Murfreesboro.

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 SBS-modified asphalt shingles with a reinforced fibreglass mat, open valley metal in 26-gauge painted steel with a hemmed edge and centre rib, hidden gutter hangers screwed on 24-inch centres into solid fascia backing, 6-inch K-style gutter with 3x4 downspout outlets, 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 Nashville 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 Middle Tennessee means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Nashville Chooses Nashville Premium Roofing
- ✓We measure the canopy before we measure the roof, and every proposal states how much clear air each plane has and how much it needs
- ✓Open valley metal instead of a closed cut on any slope under mature hardwood, because a packed cut valley dams water sideways beneath the shingles
- ✓Gutters priced as roofing components: hidden hangers on 24-inch centres into solid backing, with 3x4 outlets sized for real hardwood leaf volume
- ✓Hand-sealed starter and first courses on shaded north slopes, where factory sealant strips get too little heat to bond on their own
The standards behind emergency tarping
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The emergency tarping work we do in Nashville 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 Nashville 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.
