The average cost to tarp a roof is $450, but the total can range from $150 to $3,300. For a specific ridge line tarping on a 1200 sq ft home, the cost would depend on the actual square footage of the damaged area along the ridge and whether emergency service is required, typically falling within the lower end of the $0.95-$6 per square foot range for the specific damaged area.
Standard poly tarps available to consumers typically cost between $0.10 to $0.25 per square foot. Heavy-duty or UV-resistant poly tarps range from $0.30 to $0.50 per square foot. These are material costs; installation labor and other job-specific factors contribute to the overall service price.
Yes, emergency roof tarping services often incur a surcharge. While the per-square-foot cost might remain within the typical $0.95–$6 range, the urgency can add to the overall job cost, sometimes pushing smaller jobs from around $450 to higher figures depending on the emergency nature and response time.
