The Triangle's mature canopy is one of its best features until a storm puts a limb through your roof. Tree-strike damage is a different emergency from wind or hail, because the impact often breaks the decking and the structure underneath, not just the shingles, and water pours straight in. Mabrey Roofing responds fast, makes the roof safe, tarps the breach to stop the water, and documents the full extent of the damage for your claim. Then we restore the roof and the structure beneath it properly, not just patch the hole.

A tree strike is a different emergency from wind or hail, because the impact usually breaks the structure under the shingles, not just the surface, and water pours in fast and by the bucket. The first priorities, in order, are making the area safe and stopping the water, not assessing the claim.

Mabrey Roofing responds around the clock across the Triangle, checks whether the limb can be removed without dropping more weight through the roof, tarps the breach, and protects what is inside before anything else. Then we document the full extent, surface and structural, so the repair fixes the framing and decking underneath instead of just covering the hole. A tree strike is commonly the kind of loss a homeowner policy addresses, though coverage turns on your specific policy.
Before anything, we check whether the limb can come off without dropping more weight through the roof, and keep everyone clear of it and of branches tangled in power lines.
A strike lets water in fast and by the bucket, so the breach gets tarped right away to protect the framing, the insulation, and everything below it.
We document the full extent, then repair the decking and rafters the impact broke so the roof is sound underneath, not just closed over the top.

Why a Tree Strike Is Its Own Emergency
- One blow can break shingles, decking, and framing together
- Water enters immediately and by the bucket, not as a drip
- Structure plus flooding is what sets it apart
The Damage You Cannot See Is the Point
- An impact cracks framing beyond the visible hole
- Hidden splits spread under load and weather
- We trace the impact into the surrounding structure
Safety and the Water Come Before the Claim
- Make it safe, stop the water, then document
- A resting limb can shift and worsen the breach
- Stay clear of sagging ceilings and any live line
Why Speed Matters More Here Than Anywhere
- The opening is large and the water arrives fast
- Every hour open spreads harm to the rooms below
- An early tarp is the line between one room and several
Taking the Limb Off Without Making It Worse
- The wrong lift can drop more weight through the deck
- A load-bearing limb is taken down in controlled pieces
- Lines and large removals are not a homeowner job
Documenting a Strike for the Claim
- The record has to capture surface and structural harm
- We photograph it all, tie it to the storm, and write it up
- We walk the mapped damage with your adjuster on-site
Cannot find your answer? A real person is one call away, no pressure.
- A real person answers. No phone tree, no pressure to commit.
- Free documented inspection: photos and a written report before any quote.

Get everyone clear of the area below the impact and away from any limbs near power lines, then call us. Do not climb onto the roof or under a sagging ceiling. We respond 24/7, make the area safe, and tarp the breach to stop the water before anything else.
A tree strike is commonly the kind of loss North Carolina homeowner policies address, though it depends on your policy. We document the full damage with photos and a written report and are on-site when your adjuster inspects. We do not argue the claim or promise an outcome, and the deductible remains yours to pay.
Both. A tree strike often breaks the decking and framing underneath, not just the shingles, and patching only the surface leaves hidden damage to spread. We document and repair the structure beneath the impact so the roof is sound, not just covered.
We respond 24/7 across the Triangle and move fast on active tree-strike damage, because water enters immediately and in volume. Once the area is safe we tarp the breach right away to stop the intrusion, then plan the permanent repair.
