A tree on your roof is two emergencies at once: the tree needs to come off without causing more damage, and the roof underneath needs immediate protection and repair. The order matters — dragging a trunk off a roof the wrong way tears up everything it touches, and a punctured roof left open takes on water with the next rain.
We handle the roof side: assessing the structural damage once the tree is cleared, emergency-tarping the exposed areas immediately, and then repairing the roof properly — decking, underlayment, shingles, flashing. We coordinate with tree removal so the extraction doesn't compound the damage, and we document everything with photos from the moment we arrive.
If a tree or large limb is on your York roof right now, call (555) 123-4567. Don't try to move it yourself — a shifted trunk can collapse a compromised section.
After a tree impact, watch for
- Visible punctures or crushed sections of roof
- Water coming in where the tree struck
- Cracked or sagging ceiling below the impact
- Split rafters or daylight visible in the attic
- The tree shifting or settling further onto the roof
How we handle tree damage
1 Stabilize first
We assess whether the structure is safe and make sure the tree isn't going to shift further. If the roof is compromised structurally, we say so plainly before anyone goes up there.
2 Coordinate the removal
The tree comes off in controlled sections, rigged to avoid dragging across the roof. We work with the removal crew on the extraction plan — the goal is one damage event, not two.
3 Tarp immediately
The moment the tree is clear, exposed areas get emergency tarping. A tree puncture is a hole straight to the decking — it can't wait for the repair schedule.
4 Repair the roof
Damaged decking is replaced, underlayment restored, shingles matched and installed, flashing redone. We rebuild the roof system properly — not just the visible hole.
Trees and York roofs
York's established neighborhoods are shaded by mature trees — big oaks and maples that have been growing over these streets for generations — and when a severe storm crosses the county, those trees come down on whatever is underneath. The aftermath follows a pattern: punctured slopes, crushed ridges, and the secondary water damage from the days the hole sat open before anyone called. We handle the roof side in the right order: structural assessment once the tree crew clears it in controlled sections, immediate emergency tarping the moment the roof is exposed, then full repair — decking, underlayment, shingles, flashing — with photos documenting everything from the first visit. A tree on the roof is two emergencies at once; the response has to be fast and sequenced.
