Parma Premium Roofing provides professional emergency tarping in Parma, OH for residential and commercial properties across Cleveland's southwest suburbs. We tarp roofs when tarping is the right call, and a lot of winter calls are better answered another way. A tarp has to be fastened, and that means screws and battens driven into a deck that is already wet, in the spot you must then repair twice.
The case for tarping is straightforward: a hole. A limb through the sheathing, a slope stripped down to bare deck, a fire or a vehicle. Open deck facing weather with more weather on the way is precisely what a tarp exists for, and we will come out for it, secured with battens screwed through into rafters rather than nailed into shingles that will simply tear.
The case against is the small persistent winter leak, which is most of what people ring about in January. A tarp laid over active ice will not seal to a wet, cold, granular surface, it ponds meltwater in the folds, and it holds snow against the eave and makes the dam underneath worse than it was. Meanwhile every fastener is a fresh penetration in the one part of the roof that is already saturated.
What we do instead on those is contain and schedule. Get a container and plastic under the drip inside, pull back the wet insulation so the ceiling can dry properly, find the actual entry point with somebody up in the attic, and book the real repair inside the week. In this climate the thaw comes and goes quickly enough that a targeted repair is nearly always reachable in days rather than months.
We will also be straight with you about permits, because there is a trap sitting here. A genuine temporary protection measure is not the work itself. But when the temporary fix quietly turns into a reroof, the permit is required, and this city sets an escalating administrative penalty for work started without one, a hundred dollars for a first offense and rising from there. Anyone offering to skip that step is offering you the fine.
If a tarp does go on, treat it as a countdown rather than a solution. Reinforced poly with battens will hold for a few months in this weather. Anything left up past that begins flapping, chafing and taking granules off the slope it was supposed to be protecting.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — self-adhering polymer-modified bitumen carried inside the exterior wall line, six fasteners per shingle driven flush inside the printed nailing zone, step flashing woven course by course against a sidewall, counterflashing folded into a reglet ground out of a mortar joint, kickout flashing at the foot of a roof-to-wall run, attic bypass sealing at top plates, flue chases and fixture penetrations — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Parma and nearby communities including Parma Heights, Seven Hills, Brooklyn, Broadview Heights.

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 self-adhering polymer-modified bitumen carried inside the exterior wall line, six fasteners per shingle driven flush inside the printed nailing zone, step flashing woven course by course against a sidewall, counterflashing folded into a reglet ground out of a mortar joint, 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 Parma 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 Cleveland's southwest suburbs means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Parma Chooses Parma Premium Roofing
- ✓We specify the ice barrier from the Residential Code of Ohio and the shape of your roof, not from a regional sales template written for Geauga County snowfall.
- ✓Every quote starts in the attic. If warm air is reaching your deck, no membrane we could sell you would fix the problem you actually called us about.
- ✓Deck repair is billed as boards actually replaced, counted in front of you, rather than as a padded allowance that quietly disappears if we do not need it.
- ✓We hand-seal any shingle installed onto a cold deck the same day, because an unsealed tab in November is a creased tab after the first February gust.

Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The emergency tarping work we do in Parma 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.
