San Mateo Roof Pros provides professional emergency tarping in San Mateo, CA for residential and commercial properties across the Peninsula. A tarp is a real product here rather than a stopgap you apologize for. If your drawings are sitting in plan check and the roof failed in January, a properly installed temporary cover for six months can be a better purchase than a roof you are about to demolish.
Properly installed is doing a great deal of work in that sentence. Not a blue poly sheet held down by paving stones and hope. Reinforced poly or a temporary self-adhered membrane, laid so that every lap sheds downslope, wrapped over the ridge where the water is arriving from the plane above, and battened down with furring screwed through to the deck on close, regular centers.
Yes, that means fasteners driven through the covering, and people ask about it every time. They go through a field that is coming off anyway, we map where each row of them is, and every penetration gets sealed. The alternative, weighting a loose sheet down, lasts until the first southerly gust and then the same water is inside again with your ceiling already open to the sky.
Response is same or next day across San Mateo and the neighboring towns, and we price by covered area and by access rather than by how bad your week has obviously been. If we go on to do the permanent work in the same season, the tarp comes off the invoice in full. That is a standing rule here and not something you have to negotiate with anybody.
We refuse some of these calls. We will not walk a roof that is not safe to walk on, and we will not cover an active structural failure. A sagging ridge, a deck that feels spongy underfoot or a visibly deflected rafter needs shoring and an engineer's eyes, and stretching a sheet over it hides the one thing somebody urgently needs to be looking at right now.
On the inside, catch the water rather than chase it, and if a ceiling is visibly bulging, a small relief hole over a bucket beats the entire plane letting go at three in the morning. Drying and interior repair belong to another trade entirely. We will tell you who in this county to call for it and then stay out of their way entirely.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — Class B roof assemblies tested to ASTM E108, concealed-clip twenty-four-gauge Galvalume standing seam, dry-fix hip and ridge systems for clay barrel profiles, granule-surfaced SBS cap sheet over a self-adhered base ply, sixty-mil mechanically attached TPO over tapered polyisocyanurate, half-inch plywood re-sheathing over one-by-six board decking — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve San Mateo and nearby communities including Burlingame, Millbrae, Hillsborough, Foster City.

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 Class B roof assemblies tested to ASTM E108, concealed-clip twenty-four-gauge Galvalume standing seam, dry-fix hip and ridge systems for clay barrel profiles, granule-surfaced SBS cap sheet over a self-adhered base ply, 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 San Mateo 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 Peninsula means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
