Roof Tarping in Bloomington
Temporary roof covering when the opening is above the building rather than beside it.
When the opening is in the roof, boards are the wrong tool. Temporary covering keeps rain and snow out of the structure until permanent roof repair can be scheduled — and it has to be installed in a way that survives Minnesota wind.
