Miramar Tree Service removes trees that have fallen on a house. If you are reading this because a tree just came down on your roof, here is what to do first. Get everyone out of the rooms under the impact area. Stay away from the tree and the roof, because it can shift. If the tree took down any power lines or is touching them, treat the area as live and keep everyone back. Then call us.
Once you are safe, call us and we get a crew out fast. The first job is making the situation safe. We assess how the tree is loaded on the structure, where the weight is, and whether the roof or the supports are compromised. We get the weight off the house in controlled pieces so it stops doing damage, and we secure the area. You are not left waiting with a tree on your roof.
Removing a tree off a house is careful, rigged work. A tree on a roof is under tension and compression, and cutting it the wrong way can release that energy into the structure or into the crew. We lift sections off the roof with rigging instead of dragging them, because dragging a tree off a roof does more damage than the storm did. Every piece comes off controlled, and we protect the roof with mats where we are working.
Once the tree is off, we tarp the opening if the roof is breached. A hole in the roof needs to be covered fast, especially in South Florida where the next rain is never far off. We get a tarp over the exposed area to keep the weather out until a roofer can do the permanent repair. That tarp is part of getting you through the immediate aftermath, and we do it before we leave.
Then we do the full cleanup. We haul off the tree, the limbs, and the brush, and we grind the stump if you want it gone. A tree on a house generates a lot of material, and we clear all of it. When we leave, the tree is off the house, the opening is tarped, and the yard is clean. Full cleanup and haul away are included.
We also document the removal for your insurance. Photos of the tree on the house, the damage, and the removal process are what the adjuster needs, and we take them as we work. We hand those over to you so you have what you need for the claim. That documentation is part of the job, not an extra, because we know what comes after the tree comes off is the insurance process.
We work with the roofer and the insurance adjuster too. Once the tree is off and the roof is tarped, the roofer comes in for the permanent repair, and the adjuster comes to assess the damage. We are available to talk to both of them about how the tree came off and what we found, because that context helps the claim go through. We are not gone the second the tree is off, we stay in the loop until your house is put back together.
If a tree is on your house right now, do not wait. Get everyone safe, watch for power lines, and call us. We respond 24/7 during and after storms, and we come out today to get the tree off your roof.
