A tree on the roof: call before you climb.
A tree on a roof is a delicate, dangerous job. We stabilize it, remove it piece by piece and put tarps down so the weather stays out while you call about repairs.
- Priced by: Tree size, roof access, equipment and tarping
- Methods: Rigging, crane, bucket truck and careful sectional cutting

What it is, and why it matters.
When a tree lands on a house, the first impulse is to rush. But the tree may be holding up part of the roof, the structure may be damaged and a wrong cut can drop weight all at once. It needs a plan and the right equipment.
Nashville Tree Service removes trees from roofs across Middle Tennessee using careful rigging, cranes and bucket trucks to take weight off in controlled pieces. We tarp the damage, document it with photos and leave you with a clear roof for the repair crew.
Four things done right.
Controlled weight release
Sections come off in order, so the load never shifts all at once.
Roof protection
Tarps go on to limit water damage.
Photo records
We take photos for your adjuster.
Clean roof
Debris is cleared from shingles and gutters.
