Fontana Roof Pros provides professional emergency roof tarping in Fontana, CA for residential and commercial properties across the western Inland Empire. An emergency cover in this climate has an enemy most people do not think about. It is not the rain it is holding back. It is the sun beating on it, which turns an unrated blue poly tarp chalky and brittle within weeks.
By the second month that tarp is ribbons across your roof, and that single fact changes how we dry a roof in. A real temporary cover here means a reinforced woven polyethylene tarp with an ultraviolet-stabilised coating, laid over the ridge where possible so no seam faces uphill, wrapped and battened at the edges with furring strips screwed through, and fastened into solid framing rather than shingles. Sandbags and nails through the field create the next leak.
For anything expected to stay on longer than a few weeks, we would rather dry in properly. Strip the damaged field, cut out broken sheathing, and lap a self-adhered modified bitumen membrane directly onto the deck. That is a watertight surface that tolerates the sun, survives being walked on, and becomes part of the permanent repair instead of being thrown away. It costs more on the day and less by the end.
Inside the house is the other half of the call. We shut off electricity to affected areas, get standing water off the ceiling, pull a soaked section of drywall before it lets go rather than after, and set a plastic funnel-and-hose drain if water is still finding its way in. Then we photograph everything, timed and dated, because that documentation is worth more later than anyone realizes during the crisis.
Our common calls are not what people expect. A eucalyptus or pepper limb across a plane after a wind event. A cracked tile field somebody discovered when the first real storm arrived. A patio-cover flat roof that had been failing quietly all summer. And in the first week of a winter storm cycle, a lot of roofs that were fine in October.
One thing worth insisting on with whoever you call: get a date for the permanent repair in writing before the cover goes on. A tarp that sits on a roof for four months under this sun is protecting nothing by the end of it, and by then the deck underneath has been wet and dried a dozen times. We schedule the real work at the same time we schedule the cover.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — cool-rated architectural shingles, high-temperature SBS-modified underlayment, batten-set concrete tile with a one-inch air space, Kynar 500 PVDF standing-seam panels, heat-welded TPO membrane, reflective elastomeric coating — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Fontana and nearby communities including Rialto, Bloomington, Colton, Grand Terrace.

Materials, equipment and how we do emergency roof tarping
The difference between emergency roof tarping that lasts and emergency roof tarping that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with cool-rated architectural shingles, high-temperature SBS-modified underlayment, batten-set concrete tile with a one-inch air space, Kynar 500 PVDF standing-seam panels, 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 Fontana 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 the western Inland Empire means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
