This is the Guyton 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 quoteOlder neighborhoods carry historic-review questions on material and color; newer ones carry HOA approvals; the roofer should know which applies to your address. Decade built, number of previous roofs, and any additions all move the number here, which is why a quote starts with a short conversation about the home's history. This is where well-installed architectural shingle is usually the right economic answer over metal or tile, because the wind-rating premium buys less.
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.
