Newark OH Premium Roofing provides professional emergency tarping in Newark, OH for residential and commercial properties across Licking County. Tarping is the one service where the frame flips. Everywhere else on this site the argument is that documentation replaces the inspector nobody sends. Here the point is that tarping destroys documentation, so what you do in the twenty minutes before the tarp goes on matters more than the tarp.
Photograph first, always. Once a blue poly sheet is over the damage, the adjuster is looking at a tarp and taking your word for what is under it. We shoot the failed area from four angles, from the ground and from the roof, before anything is covered, and we shoot the interior stain and any wet insulation in the attic. Those images are yours the same day, not held until a contract is signed.
The tarp itself is a real installation, not a sheet weighed down with bricks. The upper edge goes over the ridge or is wrapped and fastened to a furring strip screwed into sound decking, the material lies flat with the fall of the roof so water runs across it, and every fastener through the covering is a hole we close at the permanent repair. Bricks and sandbags shift in the next gust, which is the gust that matters.
Interior control runs in parallel and is often the larger loss. Water tracking a rafter on plank decking exits several feet from the entry point, so the ceiling stain is not the leak. We find the entry, contain the drip, and where a ceiling is already holding water we relieve it deliberately with a small hole and a bucket rather than let a plaster field come down at three in the morning.
None of this requires anyone's approval. Emergency covering is not permitted work in Licking County, no inspection is involved, and no office will issue a letter about it — the Building Code Department's guidance says plainly that it will not review individual projects or intermediate with insurers. That is a reason to keep your own record, not a reason to relax.
Then wait. A tarp installed properly holds through a season, and every reroof decision made in the first forty-eight hours after a storm is made badly and under pressure. Get the water stopped, get the photographs, sleep, and let the estimate be written on a dry day by somebody who was not standing in your driveway the same afternoon.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — ice barrier membrane at the eave, self-adhering polymer-modified bitumen underlayment, six-fastener high-wind nailing pattern, sidewall step flashing set course by course, counterflashing set into a mortar reglet, open metal valley with a hemmed edge — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Newark and nearby communities including Heath, Pataskala, Granville, Johnstown.

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 ice barrier membrane at the eave, self-adhering polymer-modified bitumen underlayment, six-fastener high-wind nailing pattern, sidewall step flashing set course by course, 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 Newark 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 Licking County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Newark Chooses Newark OH Premium Roofing
- ✓Every job is photographed at bare deck, at the ice barrier line, at the fastener line and at each flashing, and the images are yours the same day.
- ✓Quotes come off the deck, not the driveway. Two-layer roofs and rotted plank sheathing surface on the first square rather than arriving later as a revision.
- ✓We publish the code sections we work to because Ohio has no roofing board and Licking County has no contractor registration to check us against.
- ✓Repair is a real product here. Where the field is sound and the failure is a termination, we say so in writing and do not return with a replacement quote.
The standards behind emergency tarping
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The emergency tarping work we do in Newark 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 Newark 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.
