West Allis Roof Pros provides professional emergency tarping in West Allis, WI for residential and commercial properties across Milwaukee and eastern Waukesha counties. An emergency call on this street grid is a logistics problem in the dark. There is no driveway to work from, the side gap will not take a ladder, and half the roof is reachable only from an alley that has to stay open for everybody else.
So we turn up already set up for it. Ladders that stand on the alley apron or the front walk, a ridge anchor and rope for the slopes we cannot reach from below, and a light plan, because a bungalow back slope at eleven at night is genuinely dark. We tell you where the truck is going to sit before we arrive, so that nobody wakes up boxed in.
The tarp itself gets fastened, never weighted. Carried over the ridge wherever the geometry permits, rolled around furring strips, fastened through into actual framing with every fastener sealed, and lapped so water sheds off the covered area rather than pooling in the middle of it. A sandbagged sheet on an exposed rake in this city lasts until the first strong gust and then becomes two problems instead of one.
Where the damage sits over the gap between houses, we cover in a direction that discharges onto your own ground. A tarp that dumps an entire slope of water into a four foot channel between two foundations converts a roof problem into a basement problem for two households at once, and we have been called out more than once to fix exactly that.
Photographs come before the covering goes on, because once a tarp is down nobody can inspect what sits underneath it, ourselves included. Wide shots for context, close work on each opening with something in frame for scale, the garage covered separately, and the whole file dated and delivered to you that same day, no matter whether a claim gets filed and no matter who ends up doing the permanent repair.
Finally, the tarp gets a removal date written onto the paperwork before we leave. A tarp is triage. Leaving one on through a winter while paperwork grinds along quietly transfers the cost of that delay onto your sheathing, and since no city inspector is ever going to look at this roof, the only people tracking that clock are us and, from now on, you.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — a probe cut opened at the rake to count existing roofing layers, 1x8 board sheathing laid with gaps over rafters at 24 inches, a fire-rated soffit board on the setback side of an alley garage, rigid chutes carried up behind a four-foot knee wall, site roll-formed standing seam fed up from the alley apron, a framed saddle set behind a shed dormer to split the flow — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve West Allis and nearby communities including Milwaukee, Wauwatosa, Greenfield, Franklin.

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 a probe cut opened at the rake to count existing roofing layers, 1x8 board sheathing laid with gaps over rafters at 24 inches, a fire-rated soffit board on the setback side of an alley garage, rigid chutes carried up behind a four-foot knee wall, 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 West Allis 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 Milwaukee and eastern Waukesha counties means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why West Allis Chooses West Allis Roof Pros
- ✓We open a probe cut at the rake and photograph the layer count before quoting, because West Allis allows two layers and inspects none of them
- ✓We will not install a third layer on any house, and we will tell you plainly that nobody from the city would ever have caught it
- ✓Every estimate names where the container sits and which slopes get worked from a rope, because a lot without a driveway changes the job
- ✓Ventilation chutes go in behind the knee walls while the roof is open, since the finished half story blocks the path the city bulletin assumes
The standards behind emergency tarping

If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
