The Hammocks · Miami-Dade County · Retail
This is the The Hammocks 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 quoteInsurers scrutinize coastal roofs hardest at renewal, and a dated inspection report with slope-by-slope photos is the cheapest way to survive that review. Metal and tile score best on wind mitigation for a reason, but a properly nailed architectural shingle roof with a sealed deck closes most of the gap at a fraction of the cost. Most construction here dates from the '80s and '90s, so roofs are on their second cycle and carriers increasingly want to see a replacement date.
What it costs in The Hammocks: 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
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.
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.
