Quick answers
Is a roof tarp a permanent repair?
No. A tarp keeps weather out until a roofer can make the permanent repair, and it should be checked after every storm while it is up.
Should I photograph damage before a board-up?
Yes. Photograph every opening and the damage around it before anything is covered, and keep the itemised invoice with the photos.
