Get a written quoteDesign wind speeds near the coast are the highest in the state, which changes the nailing pattern, the underlayment, and the price. Salt air corrodes fasteners and drip edge years before shingles look worn, so coastal roofs often fail from the metal out. Additions from later decades were often tied into the original roof without proper flashing; those seams are where the leaks live.
What it costs in Margate: a professional tarp install is a few hundred dollars and is nearly always reimbursable under a storm claim as mitigation — keep the receipt.

How it works
If the damage is from a covered event, tarping is a mitigation expense the policy expects you to incur. Photograph the damage before the tarp goes on.
Weeks, not months. Sun degrades the plastic and wind works the fasteners loose. It buys time for a proper repair or claim, not a season.
