New Rochelle Premium Roofing provides professional emergency tarping in New Rochelle, NY for residential and commercial properties across Westchester County. You cannot nail a tarp to a slate roof. The standard emergency method, screwing battens through the covering into the deck, puts a hundred new holes in stone that is otherwise sound and turns a small opening into a large repair.
So on slate and tile we tarp by weight instead. The sheet is run over the ridge and down the opposite slope, battens are rolled into the edges so wind cannot get underneath them, and the whole assembly is held down with sandbags and ballast rather than fasteners. Nothing is driven into the field, and the covering underneath comes out of the storm in the condition it went in.
On asphalt roofs a fastened tarp is perfectly fine and considerably faster, and that is what we use there. Battens are set above the water line so the fastener holes are never in the drainage path, and every anchor point is logged and photographed so it can be properly sealed when the permanent repair is made rather than quietly forgotten. Every hole we make is a hole somebody has to close later.
Speed matters, and so does not making things worse in the process. Where a limb is still bearing on the structure, the tarp waits until that load is safely off, because covering a compromised rafter simply hides movement from everyone. Where the opening sits above a habitable room we open the ceiling to release trapped water, which prevents a plaster collapse and lets the cavity dry out. Hiding movement helps nobody.
Interior protection is part of the same call rather than a separate visit. We tent contents, set collection where water is already tracking down a wall, and take moisture readings so the drying contractor has a usable baseline. Photographs go up before anything is covered, which is the documentation your carrier will want and which nobody has time to recreate afterward. The first hour of documentation is worth more than the next three of work.
A tarp is temporary and the invoice says so, with a date written on it. Reinforced poly on an exposed slope above the Sound has a life measured in weeks rather than seasons. The permanent repair therefore goes on the calendar before we leave the property, because a blue roof carried through a Westchester winter is how a small opening turns into a framing repair.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — lead-coated copper step and pan flashing, twenty-ounce cold-rolled copper valley linings, slate rippers and copper bib repairs, stainless slate hooks set at the head lap, semi-weathering gray and unfading green roofing slate, terne-coated stainless bay-roof pans — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve New Rochelle and nearby communities including Larchmont, Mamaroneck, Pelham, Pelham Manor.

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 lead-coated copper step and pan flashing, twenty-ounce cold-rolled copper valley linings, slate rippers and copper bib repairs, stainless slate hooks set at the head lap, 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 New Rochelle 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 Westchester County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

- ✓Slate relay and full replacement are quoted as two priced lines, with the expected breakage percentage written down before anyone climbs
- ✓We will not coat slate, clay tile or an asphalt shingle roof, and we will explain on site what a coating does to the salvage value
- ✓Every slate we lift comes off with a ripper and goes back on a copper nail or a stainless hook, never face-nailed through the exposure
The standards behind emergency tarping
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The emergency tarping work we do in New Rochelle 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.
