Santa Fe Roof Pros provides professional emergency tarping in Santa Fe, NM for residential and commercial properties across northern New Mexico. A blue tarp is the wrong tool on a parapet roof and we say so up front. On a gable you throw a tarp over the ridge and gravity does the rest. Inside a parapet there is no ridge and nothing to shed to, so it becomes a pond liner.
The correct emergency sequence on a flat roof is drainage first, every time. We clear the canale throats, because a packed canale is the underlying cause of most of these calls, and if water is already standing on the deck we pump it off rather than covering it up. A few inches of water across a level roof is a load the framing was never drawn to carry.
Then we cut a temporary path out. Where the primary outlets cannot be cleared quickly enough, a temporary scupper through the parapet takes the head off the roof immediately and stops the situation getting worse. This is exactly the function the code's secondary emergency overflow requirement is meant to serve, and on older Santa Fe houses it very frequently does not exist at all. Cutting one properly now usually becomes part of the permanent repair later.
Only then does anything go over the actual hole. A self-adhered modified bitumen patch, or a peel-and-stick membrane bonded to a dried and primed substrate, will hold through an entire monsoon season and will not trap water underneath it the way loose sheeting does. On a foam roof we can often spray and coat a small area the same day and be finished.
On the pitched stock out in the county a tarp is genuinely the right answer and we carry them. Fastened at the ridge with battened edges, run well past the eave, and not simply weighted down with whatever happens to be on the truck. A tarp held down with tires lasts one wind event in this climate and then becomes a very effective sail.
We charge for the call-out and we tell you the number on the phone before we leave. What we will not do is use an emergency to pressure you into a reroof at midnight. The temporary work gets documented and photographed so that it can support your insurance claim, and the permanent conversation happens in daylight with a written scope. If the roof turns out to be repairable, we will say that too.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — canale pans lapped six inches inside the parapet, continuous parapet coping wrapped down both faces, sprayed polyurethane foam with a silicone topcoat, 60 and 80 mil TPO and PVC single-ply membrane, torch-applied two-ply SBS cap sheet, tapered polyisocyanurate cut to a quarter inch per foot — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Santa Fe and nearby communities including Eldorado at Santa Fe, La Cienega, Agua Fria, Pojoaque.

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 canale pans lapped six inches inside the parapet, continuous parapet coping wrapped down both faces, sprayed polyurethane foam with a silicone topcoat, 60 and 80 mil TPO and PVC single-ply membrane, 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 Santa Fe 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 northern New Mexico means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Santa Fe Chooses Santa Fe Roof Pros
- ✓We test drainage with a hose and a clock against the state's half-inch, 48-hour standard before we quote anything.
- ✓Every canale is rebuilt with a metal pan lining running six inches inside the parapet, not patched with sealant.
- ✓Parapet caps are held with cleats at the vertical faces because the code forbids fasteners across the horizontal top.
- ✓We price pumice removal openly, because New Mexico no longer permits granular fill to stay in a roof assembly.

If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
