Tree Damage
Trees in any condition around your home pose a safety risk; they can be unstable and could fall on your house, vehicles, or even people. Dead trees also attract pests that could find their way inside your property. Unfortunately, healthy trees aren’t safe either; they too can be uprooted during extreme weather and fall, causing damage to your home and other property.
For these reasons, as a homeowner, it’s important that you are aware of these risks near your house before severe weather hits, such as before a storm arrives, as this can help prevent roof and property damage from them.
Still, if the unexpected happens, you must know how to deal with roof damage from a fallen tree and who to contact for help.

What to Do If a Tree Falls on Your Roof
When a tree lands on your roof, you must act quickly and safely. Here’s what to do:
1. Ensure That Everyone Is Safe
Make sure everyone has safely made it out of the house, including the pets. If you suspect a gas leak, fire, structural damage, or downed power lines, call 911 right away.
2. Start Documenting the Damage
From a safe distance, take photos and videos as proof of tree damage from the storm — the documentation will be helpful when you file your insurance claim.
3. Call Your Home Insurer
Reach out to your home insurance provider and let them know about the tree damage. Get guidance on the next steps and find out what documentation you need to provide for your claim.
4. Call Alliance Roofing
Your home insurance company may recommend hiring a roofing contractor — contact Alliance Roofing. We’ll visit your home, inspect your roof to figure out the full extent of tree damage from the storm, and help you get everything documented.

You may include this cost estimate in your claims documentation for the best chance at fair compensation. Alliance will help document and assess the damage, and work with your insurance to make sure repairs are covered and can begin promptly.

Alliance Roofing work on my roof and went over and above my expectations. The also made sure I was happy with the work they had done. I have already referred them to my sister and they did really great on her house also. They will always be my go to roofer.
Tried contacting 5 roofing companies after the hurricane and Adam from Alliance not only answered the phone but actually showed up! Adam met with the insurance adjuster and was great through the whole process! Roof replacement was fast! Adam is great to work with! I highly recommend Alliance Roofing!
Alliance roofing did a great job on my roof! We had multiple quotes and they beat the others by a landslide! We had some damage to our roof from a tree and only needed a small section replaced. They got the work done fast and didn’t try to push us to file an insurance claim or “upgrade” certain things on our roof like other companies. We told them what we were looking for a they delivered! I’m so glad we got another quote from them after being referred by a friend! We will use them any time we need roof work done and refer them to anyone in need!
Woke up to a major leak in my bonus and garden rooms a few weeks ago, right before going on a week vacation. Adam picked up the phone at 7:45 in the morning, and in spite of the fact he was working a big project in Goldsboro, managed to come to my house in Wilson a couple hours later to diagnosis the problem. He fixed a ton of holes in a small rubber membrane section of my roof within 48 hours for a very reasonable price. No issues since. Couldn't recommend these guys enough.
It was a great pleasure working with Adam and his team. The men were on time and completed my roof replacement same day. Their work is outstanding and they thoroughly cleaned up behind themselves. Adam met and spoke with my insurance adjuster to ensure repairs needed were accurate. I would definitely recommend Alliance Roofing to anyone in need of roofing repairs or replacement.
