This is the Marvin 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 quoteHOA architectural rules from this era are strict on color and profile; get the approved product list before collecting quotes. Builder-grade ridge vents and starter strips are the early failure points on these roofs, and often it's a repair rather than a replacement. 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
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.
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.
