When Trees Attack

You know we can have some monster storms in this area! Especially in the summertime, the sky can go from sunny to black and menacing in just minutes. Sometimes a good thunderstorm is nice to watch from the safety of your house, but they can do a number on trees.  Sometimes limbs can break off and cause damage to the roof.

This branch broke off in a storm and pierced the roof.

This is what it looked like from the attic....

And this is what is looked like in the room beneath.

It was a pretty simple fix.  The branch was removed.

The damaged part was sealed and repaired on the outside.

The water stain was covered up on the ceiling of the affected room inside.  Luckily there was no major water damage, so all that was required was a little ceiling paint.

Fortunately, the damage was minor and now it isn't noticeable.  The spot has not leaked anymore since the repair.  The main issue with roof damage is that it needs to be taken care of quickly so that more extensive damage doesn't occur.  If left unrepaired, a leak that size could have caused major damage.  This is one of the many types of handyman/repair jobs that David can take care of!  Thanks for checking us out!
