The May 2024 derecho brought down substantial timber across Montgomery County. A limb strike creates an immediate water-intrusion path in a way that wind loading often doesn't — the damage is concentrated, sometimes punches through decking, and lets water in on the very next rain.
Documenting Limb Damage for a Claim
Limb damage is generally well covered by homeowners insurance, and the claims go smoothly when documentation is thorough. We photograph the impact point, the surrounding shingle and mat damage, any decking penetration, and the debris itself before it's cleared.
We then meet your adjuster on the roof. In a community where a single storm generates hundreds of claims, adjusters are moving quickly — having someone walk the roof with them is how the full scope gets captured rather than just the obvious strike point.
Storm Damage Repair Questions from The Woodlands Homeowners
A tree limb damaged my roof. What's the first step?
Call us for a free inspection and don't clear the debris until it's photographed — that evidence supports your claim. If water is actively entering, we can tarp the area to prevent further damage while the claim proceeds.
Does my policy cover tree damage in The Woodlands?
Falling-limb damage is typically covered under homeowners policies. Specifics vary by carrier, and we'll document thoroughly so your claim is evaluated on complete information.
Can you tarp my roof before the adjuster comes?
Yes. Preventing further water damage is usually the right call and doesn't harm your claim, provided the original damage is documented first — which we do before tarping.
