Pomona Roof Pros provides professional emergency tarping in Pomona, CA for residential and commercial properties across the Pomona Valley. Tarping is a bridge, and the point of a bridge is to be cheap and to hold. In the middle of a January storm the right decision is usually the plain one rather than the tidy one. Holding water out beats looking finished.
We run woven poly over the failure, take it over the ridge where the plane allows so no lap faces uphill, and batten it down with furring strips screwed through the tarp into the deck along every edge. Screws and battens, not bricks and not staples. A tarp held down by weight becomes a sail the first night the wind gets up, and then the hole is bigger than it started.
We choose the fastener line deliberately. If the roof is being replaced this season, we screw through the field wherever the tarp needs holding, because those penetrations are coming off anyway and holding the tarp matters more than protecting shingles with weeks to live. If the roof has years left, we work from the ridge and the rakes and keep fasteners out of the field. We tell you which of the two we are doing.
On tile the approach changes again. We lift and set aside the tile over the affected area rather than screwing through it, tarp the underlayment, then reset tile at the perimeter to hold the edge. A screw through a concrete tile is a crack, and a crack is the next leak. Lifting tile takes longer and it is the only approach that does not create work for later.
Inside, we do the part that saves the most money. Relieve the ceiling at the low point of the bulge with a small controlled hole so water leaves into a bucket instead of bringing the drywall down across the room, move what needs moving, and note where the framing is wet so the dry-out can start immediately. Drywall is cheap; a ceiling on the floor is not.
Then we schedule the real work and quote the tarp separately, so you can see what you paid to buy time. A properly installed tarp on a low-slope plane will hold through a season if it has to. What it will not do is improve, and we will not let it quietly become the plan. There is a date on the quote for that reason.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — architectural laminated shingles with six-nail fastening, SBS polymer-modified asphalt shingles, 1x6 spaced sheathing overlaid with half-inch plywood, two-ply modified bitumen with a granulated cap sheet, salvaged mission and S-profile clay barrel tile, 24-gauge standing seam with concealed sliding clips — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Pomona and nearby communities including Claremont, La Verne, San Dimas, Diamond Bar.

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 architectural laminated shingles with six-nail fastening, SBS polymer-modified asphalt shingles, 1x6 spaced sheathing overlaid with half-inch plywood, two-ply modified bitumen with a granulated cap sheet, 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 Pomona 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 Pomona Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Pomona Chooses Pomona Roof Pros
- ✓Every slope gets its own remaining-life number in years, so you can decide what to fund and when.
- ✓We count layers and probe the deck before quoting, because a hidden third layer changes the entire price.
- ✓We argue against work. Coating aged shingles and reflashing a disused chimney both get talked out of here.
- ✓Staged reroofing across separate planes with their own drainage, never a vertical lap down one slope.
The standards behind emergency tarping
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The emergency tarping work we do in Pomona 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.
