Limb strikes are deceptive. A branch that hits a roof and rolls off can crack shingles and puncture the mat without leaving anything obvious behind — and on an older Spring roof that's already thin, it takes very little to open a leak path.
Limb Damage and Insurance
Falling-limb damage is typically covered by homeowners insurance, and it's the kind of claim that depends heavily on documentation. We photograph the strike point, the surrounding shingle and mat damage, and any decking impact, then meet your adjuster on the roof so the full scope is recorded.
On older homes we also document pre-existing condition honestly. That matters: an adjuster who sees a well-documented distinction between storm damage and ordinary wear is more likely to approve the storm portion cleanly.
Storm Damage Repair Questions from Spring Homeowners
A limb hit my roof but I don't see damage. Should I get it checked?
Yes. Limb strikes frequently crack shingles and bruise the mat without leaving a visible hole, especially on older roofs. A free inspection tells you whether there's a claim worth filing.
Does insurance cover tree damage to my roof?
Falling-limb damage is generally covered under homeowners policies. Coverage specifics vary, but this is one of the more commonly approved claim types when it's properly documented.
My roof is old. Will insurance still cover storm damage?
Age can affect how a claim is settled — older roofs may have depreciation applied — but genuine storm damage is typically covered regardless. We document the storm damage specifically so it isn't dismissed as wear.
