Afternoon thunderstorms hit hard in Orange County and often tear shingles loose on older homes in Mills 50 or Ivanhoe Village. We use 10-mil reinforced poly tarps rated for 90 mph winds and 2x4 nailer boards to anchor them into rafters without adding leaks. Cheap crews skip the boards and the tarp rips off in the next storm.
Common failure points show up around skylights and pipe boots on 1980s and 1990s builds in Baldwin Park and Winter Park. Water gets under the flashing fast in humid air. We cut back damaged decking, install new plywood to match existing thickness, then tarp the whole section so the owner can schedule full repair without interior damage.
Orange County requires a permit for any roof work that changes the deck, even temporary. We pull the permit same day and post it so inspectors stay happy. Skipping this step leaves homeowners open to fines when they sell later.
Call 407-555-0123 for 24/7 emergency tarping. We answer nights and weekends and can usually reach jobs in Thornton Park or Lake Eola Park within two hours.
