Roof Tarping in Little Rock
Temporary covering when the opening is overhead rather than at the wall.
Boards are the wrong tool for a roof. Temporary covering keeps rain out of the structure until permanent roof work can be scheduled — and after an Arkansas wind event it has to be secured to survive the next system, not just the next hour.
