Roswell Tree Damage Roof Repair
This roof repair in Roswell addressed storm-related damage caused by a fallen tree limb that impacted the roof, gutters, and siding. The project focused on restoring the roof’s protective integrity, preventing further weather exposure, and ensuring the home remained secure while coordinating with insurance-directed tree removal.
Project Overview
Following a storm event, a large portion of a tree in the homeowner’s backyard snapped and fell onto the roof, creating visible indentations in the roofing system and damaging adjacent gutters and siding. The homeowner contacted Dr Roof for an inspection to assess the extent of the damage and determine the necessary next steps.
The inspection confirmed exterior roof damage caused by the fallen tree limb. At the time of evaluation, no interior water intrusion or ceiling damage was observed. A tree removal company was arranged through the homeowner’s insurance provider, Farmers, with instructions to document conditions prior to tarping once the tree was removed.
Results
Once the tree limb was removed, repairs were completed to restore the roof’s structural integrity and weather protection. Damaged shingles were replaced, compromised decking was addressed as needed, and new ice and water shield was installed to reinforce vulnerable areas.
Gutter sections and components impacted by the fallen tree were replaced and secured, and finishing details were completed to maintain proper drainage and curb appeal. With repairs completed, the roof was returned to a stable, watertight condition, protecting the home from further exposure while maintaining readiness should additional insurance documentation be required.
