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.

The overview

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.

Why people choose it

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.
