Sooner or later I'm going to lose some shingling due to winds, and I want
to be ready to do a temporary repair with a tarp.
I've got a regular asphalt shingle roof with moderate pitch on a one
story house.
What kind and size of tarp is usually used? Is it nailed down into the
roofing?
Are there any online guides for how to do a temporary repair?

thanks




I just had a roofer look at mine because I've got some shingles that are
bent upward. He said that because there was another layer underneath, I
didn't need to deal with the issue for another year, unless it was giving me
nightmares. He said that if I wanted to do something, pick a warm day,
flatten the shingles gently, staple them, then cover the staples with some
of that black roofing goop.

So, it all depends, I guess....
