The short answer
295 of the 512 Tampa Bay roofing companies in our directory (58%) say on their own website that they do emergency tarping. 221 (43%) say they help with insurance claims, and 174 (34%) offer both.

Far fewer are open when the leak starts: of the 375 companies with hours on their Google Business Profile, 180 (48%) list Saturday hours, 68 (18%) list Sunday hours and 10 list 24 hours a day, every day.

Roofers open 24 hours, every day
Ten listings show "open 24 hours" for all seven days on their Google Business Profile. Westfall Roofing appears twice because it has a Bradenton and a Tampa location.
- Bold Roofing Inc., Bradenton: tarping
- Westfall Roofing, Bradenton
- Lifetime Quality Roofing & Storm Restoration, Brandon: tarping, insurance claim help
- Roofing & Repair Pro's of Clearwater, Clearwater: tarping
- True Roofers, Plant City: tarping, insurance claim help
- St Pete Roof Repair Group, St. Petersburg: tarping
- Armour Roofing, Tampa: insurance claim help
- Prime Roof Repair Tampa, Tampa: tarping
- Protek Roofing & Solar, Tampa: tarping, insurance claim help
- Westfall Roofing, Tampa
"Open 24 hours" on a Google profile usually means someone answers the phone. It doesn't promise a crew on your roof at 2 a.m., so ask when they can get there.
Weekend hours
Saturday is the easier day. 180 of the 375 roofers with listed hours open on Saturday, most often from 8 a.m. Sunday drops to 68, and 41 of those advertise tarping. Of the Saturday-open roofers, 103 (57%) also list emergency tarping.
Most roofers handle calls by phone. 492 of the 512 (96%) list a phone number as the main way to reach them, and only 17 advertise online booking.
What to do when the roof leaks
- Stop the water first, argue about the roof later. A tarp is a temporary fix. Ask the roofer whether the tarp fee counts toward the repair if you hire them for it.
- Ask about your insurance before you sign. 221 companies we list say they help with claims. Ask what that help includes and what you'll pay if the claim is denied. Our guide to roof damage after a hurricane covers how to document the damage for your insurer and spot door-to-door storm chasers.
- Check the license yourself. 326 companies show a Florida license on their site. For the rest, look them up before work starts.
- Get a second quote for the real repair. 357 of the companies we list advertise free estimates, and 230 free inspections. Our guide to repair or replacement helps you judge what you're being sold.

How we counted
We counted the 512 roofing companies in the Local Roofing Finder directory for Tampa Bay, across 26 areas, using what each company states on its own website (services, tarping, insurance help, license, insurance, warranty) and the hours on its Google Business Profile, all checked on November 6, 2026. A company counts for a service only if its own site mentions it. Hours shares use the 375 companies with listed hours. We didn't verify licenses with the state for this post; "license shown" means the company's site states one.
