Japanese Maple bush

Tarps: How to Supplement

Every Roofing Contractor’s Worst Nightmare…

To the average onlooker, this might look like an innocent bush, but as contractors, we know that this Japanese Maple bush can cost us $250 to $500 if it gets damaged during production.

You don’t want to risk paying to replace it when it costs way less to throw a tarp over it to protect it, right? Furthermore, most carriers will pay for the tarp, so it’s basically a no-brainer.

WHAT SHOULD YOU DO TO SUPPLEMENT FOR YOUR TARP?
When visiting your worksite, it is important to take photos of everything you have to tarp/protect during production. Look for:

  • Air conditioning units
  • Driveway pavers
  • Flower beds
  • Hot tubs
  • Koi Ponds
  • Pools

If the tarp is not included on the pre-production estimate, take a picture of the tarps in use during the install.
