This is the Belmont 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 quoteDecade 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. Aerial measurement plus a five-minute history of the house beats a drive-by estimate in an area this varied. Trees are the inland roof's main enemy — limb impact and debris damming valleys cause more claims than wind alone.
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
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.
