This is the Helotes 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 quoteThe good news about production roofing is that the decking is generally sound, so replacements price predictably. Boom-era roofs look fine from the street and fail inspections anyway; granule loss and cracked pipe boots are the usual findings. Test-square counts before the adjuster arrives are what win reinspections — eight or more strikes per hundred square feet is the threshold most carriers use.
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.
