A small city on US-17/92 with its own storm season, and a roof protection crew one short drive down the highway.
Lake Alfred storm response
Citrus Country Roofs, Covered Fast
Onsite handles emergency roof tarping in Lake Alfred, from the historic downtown blocks to the homes around Lake Alfred and Lake Haines.
Lake Alfred sits on US-17/92 between Winter Haven and Haines City, about 15 minutes from our base. It is a citrus town at heart, home to the University of Florida's Citrus Research and Education Center, and its weather is pure Central Florida. Summer afternoons bring thunderstorms nearly every day, and hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30.
The 2004 season, when Charley, Frances and Jeanne all crossed Polk County, and Hurricane Ian in 2022 are reminders that this part of the state gets real wind. If a storm has opened your roof, call (863) 204-2088. A person on our team picks up, not a recording.
Our trucks run the whole US-17/92 stretch, so the same crew handles emergency roof tarping in Winter Haven, emergency roof tarping in Haines City and emergency roof tarping in Auburndale.
Emergency Roof Tarping in Lake Alfred
When a storm lifts shingles or tears through decking, the goal is simple: stop the water tonight. We fit a heavy-duty woven tarp to the damage, batten it and anchor it into the structure so it holds through the next storm band.
If the permanent fix is months away, we tell you so and build the install for that wait, with heavier material and tighter anchoring. Learn how our emergency roof tarping is done.
Commercial Roof Tarping in Lake Alfred
Downtown storefronts and the commercial buildings along US-17/92 often have flat or low-slope roofs. On those, a tarp has to move water toward the drains and scuppers, or it just creates a pond on top of the leak.
We pay close attention to rooftop units and curbs, where water likes to get in. Owners get photo documentation of the work. More on our commercial roof tarping service.
Emergency Roof Repair in Lake Alfred
Wind can tear flashing loose and mature oaks can drop limbs straight through a roof. In those cases we take the limb off the roof surface, patch the puncture and stabilize the flashing.
The result is a temporary dry-in that keeps the inside of your home dry until a roofer makes the permanent repair. See our emergency roof repair service for what that includes.

Lake Alfred questions
Questions From Lake Alfred Homeowners
Age is only part of the story. Two roofs of the same age in Lake Alfred can be in very different shape depending on materials and how many storms they have taken. A free inspection gives you photographs of the actual condition, which tells you far more than the number of years.
If storm damage caused the problem, start with your homeowners policy. Policies generally expect you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage, and a tarp is one of those steps. Our before and after photos give you documentation to bring to your insurer.
Ours are. There is no charge and no obligation, the visit is typically well under an hour, and the photographs are yours to keep. Call (863) 204-2088 to set one up.
Call Onsite at (863) 204-2088, any hour. We are based in Winter Haven, about 15 minutes down US-17/92, and we have a dedicated emergency roof protection crew. After a major storm, calls are handled in the order they come in, and we give you an honest place in line.
That is a question for a re-roofing company, and we are not one. What we do is keep your Lake Alfred home dry until the replacement happens, however long the wait. Florida humidity can start mold in wet materials within a day or two, so the cover should go on first.
It depends on how it is built. A quick cover is meant for days, but when we know your roof will wait months, we use heavier material and tighter anchoring so the tarp keeps holding through Lake Alfred's afternoon storms.
