Urgent response
Call first: availability depends on the storm
Tarping is triage. We cover the opening, secure the tarp so wind cannot get under it, and stop the water from reaching your insulation, drywall, and belongings. It is not a repair, and it is not meant to last a season.
Response times depend on conditions. On an ordinary day we can often be out the same day. After a widespread hail or wind event across North Alabama, every roofer in the region is triaging at once. We work the most severe interior damage first and give you an honest arrival window rather than a promise we cannot keep.
If your situation is dangerous, such as structural collapse, exposed electrical, or a tree still resting on the house, call emergency services and your utility before you call a roofer.

What we do
What emergency service covers
Storm tarping
Reinforced tarp installed and secured over the opening so wind does not tear it loose overnight.
Tree and limb impact
Once the limb is safely removed, we cover the deck damage and document it for your claim.
Active leak containment
We locate the entry point and stop the water path before it spreads across the ceiling.
Damage documentation
Photos before and after the tarp so your carrier can see the original condition.
Fast scheduling
Tarping visits convert straight into a scheduled inspection and repair, so nothing sits waiting.
Direct phone line
Urgent situations should be a phone call, not a form. Call us and talk to a person.

Why Cooper
Emergency work done responsibly
Straight answers on timing
After a regional storm we tell you where you are in the queue instead of overpromising.
Secured, not draped
A tarp that blows off at 2 a.m. is worse than no tarp. Ours are fastened to hold through weather.
One company through the fix
The same team that tarps handles the repair, so nothing gets lost in a handoff.
