This is the Austell 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. Separating the most recent storm's damage from older wear is what makes or breaks a claim on a roof that hasn't been inspected in years.
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
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.
