This is the Cary 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 quoteThree-tab shingle from this era is past its life; the replacement will almost certainly be architectural, which earns better treatment at renewal. Most construction here dates from the '80s and '90s, so roofs are on their second cycle and carriers increasingly want to see a replacement date. Attic heat is the silent killer of inland shingle roofs; temperatures above 140°F cook asphalt from underneath, and ventilation is the line item most quotes skip.
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.
