This is the Johns Creek 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 quoteMetal roofs shrug off hail punctures but can dent cosmetically, and several Texas carriers now exclude cosmetic damage on metal — check before you switch. Hail season runs March through June with a fall echo, and the claim-filing window is measured from the storm date, so keep the date of every event that hit your street. Most homes here went up in the 2000s building boom, when production builders installed the least expensive shingle that met code.
What it costs in Johns Creek: a professional tarp install is a few hundred dollars and is nearly always reimbursable under a storm claim as mitigation — keep the receipt.
Georgia doesn't issue a roofing-specific license — most roofing falls under the state's Residential-Basic or General Contractor license once a job crosses the state's licensing threshold. We check that license, insurance, and standing with the state board before a roofer ever sees a lead.
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.

Johns Creek is inside the everyday service radius, so there's no travel surcharge and no "we'll be in the area next month."
