Janesville Premium Roofing provides professional emergency tarping in Janesville, WI for residential and commercial properties across south central Wisconsin. Emergency tarping is exempt work on every house in Janesville. SPS 320.05 puts repairs and maintenance outside the Uniform Dwelling Code entirely, whatever year the house was built, so there is no permit to pull and no inspection to schedule before somebody covers a hole.
We say that plainly because the confusion gets used. If a person at your door after a storm tells you the city needs a signed contract before they are allowed to cover the opening, that is not true, and it is a useful thing to know at eleven at night with water coming through a bedroom ceiling. Nobody needs your signature to keep rain out of your house.
Our tarping is a separate, priced item rather than a hook. We cover the opening and carry the sheet across the ridge where the roof shape permits, since a tarp stopping short of the peak invites water under its top edge. Fastening is cap nails through furring strips, not screws driven into the field of sound shingles. Every fastener we put in a good roof is one we have to take back out later.
A tarp is a two to four week product in Wisconsin weather, and considerably less than that in wind. Anyone telling you it will hold for the season is selling delay. We schedule the actual repair at the same time we tarp, and if that schedule slips past a month we come back and reset it rather than letting the thing flog itself apart. Wisconsin wind finds the corner of a tarp within days.
Inside matters as much as outside. We will tell you to pull the wet insulation out of the affected bay rather than let it sit on the drywall, and where a ceiling is already bulging we would far rather you relieve it with a small hole over a bucket than have the entire sheet come down at three in the morning. A ceiling that comes down all at once takes the light fixture with it.
Document before we cover. Photographs of the opening, the damage path and the water track through the house, timestamped, before a tarp hides any of it. Adjusters arrive and see a tarp instead of a hole. That set of photographs is frequently worth more to your claim than everything else we do that night. Take the pictures on your own phone as well, even if we are already taking ours. Two sets have never hurt anybody.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — No. 15 asphalt-impregnated felt underlayment, ASTM D4869 Type I underlayment felt, ring-shank nails set into 1x6 board sheathing, No. 28 gauge open-valley sheet metal, 50-pound roll roofing in closed valleys, step flashing and masonry chimney crickets — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Janesville and nearby communities including Beloit, Edgerton, Milton, Evansville.

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 No. 15 asphalt-impregnated felt underlayment, ASTM D4869 Type I underlayment felt, ring-shank nails set into 1x6 board sheathing, No. 28 gauge open-valley sheet metal, 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 Janesville 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 south central Wisconsin means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Janesville Chooses Janesville Premium Roofing
- ✓We pull the assessor's construction year before we price a roof, because June 1, 1980 decides whether the state code governs your reroof or your contract has to.
- ✓Our estimates name specifications rather than adjectives: No. 15 felt or a labeled ASTM D226 Type I synthetic, four fasteners per strip shingle, a two-inch head lap.
- ✓We count existing layers by lifting shingles at the rake and a valley, and the count goes in writing before anything is sent to your insurance carrier.
- ✓We go in the attic on every inspection. Fastener rust, valley staining and packed eaves show on the underside of the sheathing long before they show on top.
The standards behind emergency tarping
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The emergency tarping work we do in Janesville 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.
