Fallen Tree on Roof Response, explained.
A tree on a roof is more than an open hole. The trunk may be holding up damaged framing, lifting it can drop debris into the house, and power lines or gas lines may be involved. The order of the work matters.
We work with the removal of limbs and debris from the roof, brace or shore damaged areas, close the opening with board-up and a tarp, and document everything for your insurer. Large trunks may need a tree service with a crane, and we coordinate that where we can.
Signs you need this
- A tree or large limb is on the roof
- The roof is sagging or broken beneath the tree
- Rain is forecast and the opening is exposed
- Debris and branches are over shingles and gutters
A good fit, and what to know.
We would rather you hear the limits from us than discover them later.
A good fit when
- A tree or limb has damaged your roof
- You need the roof covered and the debris cleared
- You want the damage documented for a claim
Worth knowing
- Large trunks may require specialist equipment
- Unstable framing can limit what can be done until it is braced
Why do it this way.

Weight is released in a planned order to avoid further collapse.
Weather-tight quickly
Board-up and tarp follow as soon as the area is safe to cover.
Documentation

Do you remove the whole tree?
We handle the roof-side work. Large trunks usually need a tree service, and we help coordinate so the roof is protected.
Is it safe to stay in the house?
It depends on the damage. If you see sagging ceilings, hear cracking or smell gas, leave and call emergency services.
Will the claim cover removal?
Coverage depends on your policy. We document the work so you can discuss it with your insurer.
