Lower pitches on mid-century homes rule out some products and make ice-and-water shield in the valleys non-negotiable. This is the edge of the hail belt: storms are less frequent than up the I-35 corridor, but the ones that arrive are the same size.
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
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.
