Ogden Roof Pros provides professional emergency tarping in Ogden, UT for residential and commercial properties across Weber County and the northern Wasatch Front. We tarp roofs and we answer the phone after hours. We also talk a fair number of Ogden callers out of paying an emergency premium, because the thing that damaged your roof and the thing that will soak your house often arrive weeks apart here.
The reason is the storm pattern. The damaging wind on this front is a downslope windstorm, and although some carry rain or snow, plenty of the damage is found on a roof not currently taking water. If your shingles left on Tuesday and the forecast is dry all week, an after-hours call is money spent on the calendar, not the roof. We will book a normal day at a normal rate and say what to watch for.
When water is actively coming in, that changes and we move. Active leak, ceiling holding water, exposed decking with weather inbound, or an opening over a finished space are all real emergencies and we treat them as such. We will be there the same day, and we do not charge a premium for a call that everyone agrees is urgent.
How the tarp goes on matters more than how fast. A tarp is a large flexible sheet in a place that has gusted above one hundred miles per hour. An improperly fastened tarp is a sail, and it takes good shingles with it. Where geometry allows we carry the cover across the ridge, wrap each edge around a furring strip, and drive fasteners through that strip instead of the fabric. Sandbags never go on a pitched roof.
Fasteners get placed where we intend to work later. Every screw through a tarp is a hole in the roof, so we land them in the area that will be replaced or on a line we can flash properly, and each location goes on the job sheet, so the permanent repair reaches every one of them and nothing stays buried under the new work.
Tarps are a temporary measure and we put a date on ours. Ultraviolet exposure at this elevation degrades poly fabric quickly and a tarp left through a season becomes the leak. We tell you how long the cover is good for, we schedule the permanent work when we install it, and we come back and check it after the next wind event rather than waiting for you to call us about it.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — an enhanced nailing schedule keyed to the corner and perimeter wind zones, asphalt shingles carrying an ASTM D3161 Class F rating, hemmed edge metal locked onto a continuous cleat at the eave and rake, mechanically seamed 24-gauge standing seam with a double-lock rib, gable-end trusses braced back into the attic framing, sheathing re-nailed to the rafters on the courses inboard of each rake — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Ogden and nearby communities including Roy, North Ogden, South Ogden, Riverdale.

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 an enhanced nailing schedule keyed to the corner and perimeter wind zones, asphalt shingles carrying an ASTM D3161 Class F rating, hemmed edge metal locked onto a continuous cleat at the eave and rake, mechanically seamed 24-gauge standing seam with a double-lock rib, 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 Ogden 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 Weber County and the northern Wasatch Front means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Ogden Chooses Ogden Roof Pros
- ✓Every inspection starts on the east-facing planes and the rakes, because that is the side a Wasatch downslope wind loads and the side most reports skip entirely.
- ✓We state which exposure category we think your address sits in and why, because Ogden City's own design criteria lists B or C and leaves the choice to the person doing the work.
- ✓Corner and perimeter zones get an enhanced nailing schedule as standard. It buys more real uplift resistance per dollar than upgrading to a thicker shingle does.
- ✓Soffit and gable-end bracing get checked on every wind call, because a soffit that blows in pressurizes the attic and lifts the deck from underneath before the shingles ever fail.
The standards behind emergency tarping
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The emergency tarping work we do in Ogden 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.
Every emergency tarping project in Ogden gets the same attention, whether it is a single room or a full commercial job. We show up on schedule, keep the site clean, and stand behind the work — the estimate is free and there is no pressure.
