Tulsa Premium Roofing provides professional emergency tarping in Tulsa, OK for residential and commercial properties across Green Country. Stabilizing a damaged building is not an alteration of anything, so nothing about preservation zoning slows this down. If water is coming into your house tonight, we come out and stop it, and the paperwork conversation happens later in daylight.
How the tarp is anchored still matters on an old roof. Wherever we can, we use ballast and battens laid over the covering rather than fasteners driven through it, and where fasteners are unavoidable we put them in areas that are coming off anyway in the permanent repair. The guidelines ask that anything attached to a historic roof be reversible and leave the covering undamaged, which is a reasonable standard for a temporary cover regardless of the address.
A tarp is only useful if it is installed as a roof. That means it runs over the ridge rather than stopping at it, the upper edge is battened above the damage so water cannot track underneath, and the sides are wrapped around battens and secured rather than left to flap and saw at the shingles beneath. A blue sheet weighted with bricks is not a tarp, it is a sail with a delay built in.
We photograph everything before we cover it, from several angles and with the date on the file. Once a tarp goes on, the damage underneath becomes an argument rather than a fact, and the photographs taken in the first hour are worth more to your claim than anything measured a week later. Take a set on your own phone too, before anybody climbs up. Date-stamped files settle arguments that memory cannot.
Inside we will tell you where to put buckets and, more usefully, where to punch a small hole. A bulging plaster ceiling holding water is a real hazard, and a deliberate quarter-inch hole at the lowest point lets it run into a bucket rather than bringing the whole ceiling down at once. Doing that safely takes a moment and it saves a ceiling.
Sometimes we will tell you not to buy anything. A single failed pipe boot on a dry forecast does not need an emergency call-out at holiday rates. Put a bucket under it, we will be there Tuesday, and you will keep the difference. We would rather have the Tuesday job and your trust than the midnight invoice. Emergency pricing exists for emergencies, and a cracked boot is not one.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — architectural laminate shingles encouraged by the city design guidelines, cedar shingle coverings original to Tulsa oil-boom bungalows, tar-and-gravel built-up roofing over masonry commercial blocks, exposed rafter tails and eave brackets carried through a tear-off, counterflashing reglets cut into soft lime mortar joints, clay tile matched by profile, texture and directional orientation — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Tulsa and nearby communities including Sand Springs, Owasso, Sapulpa, Claremore.

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 architectural laminate shingles encouraged by the city design guidelines, cedar shingle coverings original to Tulsa oil-boom bungalows, tar-and-gravel built-up roofing over masonry commercial blocks, exposed rafter tails and eave brackets carried through a tear-off, 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 Tulsa 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 Green Country means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Tulsa Chooses Tulsa Premium Roofing
- ✓We look up your zoning before we quote, so nobody discovers a review requirement halfway through a tear-off with the deck already open to weather.
- ✓We identify the original covering from physical evidence in the eave, the attic and the flashing, not from a guess made standing in the driveway.
- ✓We price the honest option first. Putting the same covering back is often cheaper, faster and free of review, and we will say so before we sell an upgrade.
- ✓Our eave carpentry is done by people who can repair a rafter tail and a bracket rather than wrap the whole assembly in aluminum and call it maintenance.
The standards behind emergency tarping
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The emergency tarping work we do in Tulsa 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 Tulsa 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.
