This is the Egypt Lake-Leto page for emergency roof tarping. The short version: you want someone to get a tarp on today before more water comes in, and you can have it without a salesperson at the door.
Get a written quotePlank decking instead of plywood is common in this era, and it's the reason a quote must price decking replacement per sheet up front. Most homes predate 1980, so many are on their third or fourth roof and code limits on layers become a real constraint at tear-off. Attic heat is the silent killer of inland shingle roofs; temperatures above 140°F cook asphalt from underneath, and ventilation is the line item most quotes skip.
On cost: 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
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.
You can, but people get hurt on wet roofs every storm season, and a badly nailed tarp creates new leaks. If it's a single-story with a walkable pitch and the weather's cleared, it's doable; otherwise let a crew do it.
