A tree hit your roof. We move fast.
A fallen tree or heavy limb is one of the most urgent kinds of damage, the roof is open, water's getting in, and the structure may be compromised. We secure your home 24/7, repair the roof, siding, and structure, and document it all for your insurance claim.
Get help fast, get it documented.
If a tree or limb is on your home, get everyone to safety and call us, we respond 24/7 to secure the roof and stop water getting in. Then we inspect the full structure and document the damage for your insurance claim. We respond within 2 hours, right away for emergencies.
Got it. We'll be in touch.
Thanks, there. We received your request and respond within 2 hours during business hours, right away for emergencies.
Safety first, get everyone clear.
If a tree has hit your home, get everyone out of the affected area and stay away from any downed power lines, leaning trees, or sagging ceilings. If a line is down or you smell gas, call 911 and your utility first. Once everyone's safe, call us, we'll secure the structure and handle the rest.
The structural damage a tree leaves behind.
When a tree comes down on a house, the real problem is what it did to the building. We repair the damage to your home, roof to foundation line, and document every bit of it for your claim.
Punctured & crushed roofs
We repair or rebuild the section a tree punched through or crushed, decking, rafters, shingles, so the roof is sound and watertight again.
Siding & exterior walls
Trees that hit the side of the house tear off siding and damage sheathing. We repair the wall and match the exterior back.
Gutters, fascia & soffit
Falling limbs rip off gutters and crush fascia and soffit at the eaves. We replace and re-secure them as part of the repair.
Interior water damage
Once the roof is open, water gets into ceilings, walls, and insulation. Our restoration work addresses the interior damage too.
Decking & structure
We assess and repair compromised decking and framing so the structure underneath the surface is genuinely sound, not just patched over.
The insurance claim
We document the full extent of the damage in the format your adjuster needs, so the claim covers everything the tree actually did.
We stabilize the home first, repair second.
When a tree has opened up your roof, every hour of rain adds to the damage. Our 24/7 emergency response stops the bleeding before the rebuild:
- Emergency tarping over the opening to stop water entering the home.
- Water mitigation to limit interior damage once the roof is breached.
- Secure debris from the structure and make the work area safe to assess.
- Full documentation for your insurance claim, the repair plan follows.
Note: cutting down and hauling away a full tree, especially near power lines, is specialized work we coordinate with the right crew. Our focus is securing and repairing your home, and managing the claim.
We handle the claim, you handle the deductible.
Fallen tree damage is covered under most homeowner policies when it's documented properly. We've handled storm claims for 47 years, with any carrier, and we make the process straightforward.
Secure & inspect
We tarp the opening, then inspect the full structure, roof, walls, interior.
Document for the claim
We photograph and document all damage in the format your adjuster needs.
Meet the adjuster
We walk the damage with your adjuster so nothing legitimate is left out.
Repair to spec
Once approved, our own crews rebuild the roof, siding, and structure.
The contractor you want when it's serious.
A tree through the roof is not a job for a crew that shows up after the next storm and disappears. It needs a local contractor who can rebuild structure and stand behind it.
24/7 emergency response
We answer when it happens, not days later, with tarping and water mitigation to protect your home immediately.
Full structural repair
From decking and framing to roof and siding, our own crews rebuild it properly, not a surface patch over real damage.
