Description

This was a residential fire of a single story ranch style home that suffered significant wind damage. We intend to explore the activities associated with tarping the roof as there was a 5' x 5' section of the roof stripped of its 3-tab asphalt tiles, exposing the compromised roofing felt below. Unlike most Insight Sheets, we intend to outline a fairly straight forward scenario, devoid of additional nuances e.g., second stories, high slope roof etc. If this loss was multiple stories, displayed a high pitch roof and/or incorporated clay tile shingles (or alike), substantially different concessions would be required. This Insight Sheet exists to clarify how one might invoice for a temporary roof tarp. This does not seek to include or make concessions for all equipment and/or activities as it relates to a loss of this nature.
