FAQs
Answers, fast.
The questions building owners, partners, and adjusters ask us most, about how StormWrappers enclosures work, how long they take, and what they cost you in peace of mind.
StormWrappers is a specialist in emergency enclosures and building shrink-wrapping, a professional, leakproof alternative to blue tarps after a storm or disaster. We seal damaged buildings so the structure and everything inside stay dry while repairs are arranged.
What types of buildings can StormWrappers enclose?
Residential homes, commercial buildings, industrial facilities, schools, churches, medical centers, and government properties, as well as temporary structures. If it has a roof or an opening exposed to the weather, we can wrap it.
What situations call for emergency enclosures from StormWrappers?
Storm damage from hurricanes, tornadoes, and severe weather is the most common, along with fire and water damage, and containment during construction or renovation when a building needs to be sealed against the elements.
Is StormWrappers available nationwide?
Yes. We operate in all 50 states and are among the largest installers of emergency enclosure shrink-wrap by square foot in the country, with crews ready to mobilize wherever the storm lands.
How is a StormWrappers enclosure different from a blue tarp?
A tarp is loose plastic held down with staples and sandbags; it flaps, leaks, and usually fails within days. Our enclosure is heavy-gauge industrial film, heat-shrunk into a taut, continuous, leakproof skin that conforms to the building and holds for months.
Do you only cover the roof, or the whole building?
Either. We can seal a single torn-open roof section, an entire roof, exposed walls and window openings, or fully encapsulate a structure, scoped to exactly what the damage requires.
Process & timeline
How does StormWrappers work?
Our technicians assess the damage, stabilize and frame the opening as needed, then apply industrial shrink-wrap and heat-treat it into a secure, weatherproof barrier. The result is a custom, leakproof enclosure built around your specific building.
How quickly can you get a crew on site?
We respond 24/7 to active emergencies and mobilize the same day in most cases. Call 888-8WRAPIT and a StormWrappers expert will start coordinating a crew immediately.
How long does an installation take?
A standard residential enclosure takes about 1 to 2 days. Larger commercial buildings or complex, multi-building sites take longer, and we will give you a clear timeline when we scope the project.
What happens during the initial assessment?
We evaluate the damage, identify every point of water intrusion, confirm access and safety, and determine the right film and method for the structure. You get a clear scope and a same-day quote before any work begins.
Do I need to be on site during installation?
No. Once the scope is approved, our crews can complete the enclosure without you present. We document the work throughout so you and your adjuster can see exactly what was done.
Can you work while the building is still partially occupied?
Often, yes. We sequence the work to keep crews and occupants safe and to minimize disruption. We will tell you up front if any areas need to be cleared during installation.
Materials & durability
Is the shrink-wrap durable and long-lasting?
Yes. We use high-grade industrial film engineered for extreme weather, and every enclosure is backed by a 6-month warranty, far beyond what any tarp can offer.
How long will an enclosure hold up?
Our enclosures are built to protect a building for months, not days, easily long enough to get through the insurance process and schedule permanent repairs.
Will it withstand wind and rain?
That is exactly what it is designed for. The heat-shrunk film forms a taut, sealed surface with no loose edges to catch the wind, so it sheds rain and resists the gusts that tear tarps off.
Is the shrink-wrap environmentally friendly?
We use environmentally conscious materials, and the film is recyclable once your repairs are complete and the enclosure is removed.
Can StormWrappers be used as a long-term solution?
Our focus is emergency enclosure, but custom longer-term options are available on request. Tell us how long you need protection and we will recommend the right approach.
Insurance & claims
Will my insurance cover an emergency enclosure?
In most cases, yes. Emergency mitigation to prevent further damage is a covered, and often required, part of a property claim. We will provide the documentation your carrier needs.
Do you work directly with insurance adjusters?
Yes. We are an insuror-approved mitigation provider and routinely coordinate with adjusters, providing photos, scope, and measurements that support a clean, well-documented claim.
Will you document the work for my claim?
Always. Every project is documented with before, during, and after photos plus a detailed scope, so you have a complete record for your insurer and your records.
Is emergency mitigation required by my policy?
Most property policies require the owner to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage after a loss. A professional enclosure satisfies that duty, and failing to act can put part of a claim at risk. Check your specific policy or ask your adjuster.
Safety & compliance
Are your crews OSHA-compliant?
Yes. Our crews are trained and equipped to OSHA jobsite safety standards on every project, including work at height and on compromised structures.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. StormWrappers is a fully insured, accredited contractor, a Restoration Industry Association member and BBB-accredited, so you are protected on every job.
Is shrink-wrap a fire risk?
We use professional-grade film and follow safe heat-application practices, with flame-retardant options available where codes or site conditions call for them.
Scope & capabilities
What is the largest project you can handle?
From a single damaged roof to multi-building, campus-scale catastrophe sites. As one of the largest enclosure installers in the country, we are built for complex, large-square-footage building-envelope work.
Can you enclose just part of a building?
Absolutely. We scope to the damage, whether that is one roof section, a row of blown-out windows, or an entire elevation, so you only pay for the protection you need.
Do you also handle roof replacement or full restoration?
Our specialty is the emergency enclosure that buys you time. We also offer enclosure paired with roof replacement, and we partner with restoration and roofing firms to deliver a complete recovery.
Can you respond to multi-building or campus-wide disasters?
Yes. We coordinate crews and materials to seal multiple structures quickly after a major storm, working alongside owners, property managers, and restoration partners.
For partners & contractors
Can general contractors subcontract StormWrappers?
Yes. GCs add emergency enclosure to a bid without adding a trade, we wrap as your subcontractor while you keep the client relationship. See our General Contractor capabilities for details.
How does the partner program work for restoration and roofing companies?
Restoration and roofing firms bring us in as their specialist enclosure subcontractor. We seal the building fast so your team can focus on mitigation, rebuild, or re-roofing. A valid license and adequate insurance are all it takes to start.
Will you work behind our brand?
Yes. Our partner work is white-label, our crews operate behind your name so the client relationship, and the credit, stay yours.

Do you really offer same-day quotes, 24/7?
Yes. Storms do not keep business hours, and neither do we. We respond around the clock so you are never left waiting while water is coming in.
