Cost of roofing

With everyone counting their pennies these days a re-roofing could just break the budget and the bank account. But what to do when you've got a leaky roof? Well the best interim measure is to tarp it. I've seen roofs that were tarpped for 3 years before the roof was done. With advent of colored tarps you might even be able to match your homes colour! if you can't install the tarp yourself hire someone to do it. It may cost you hundreds of dollars but it is cheaper than a re-roof and will buy you time until you have funds to do it properly.
