First steps — roof incident

Get out of the affected rooms, cut power to that section if you can safely reach the panel, and start documentation photos before anything moves.

What Bitter Lake calls typically look like

Bitter Lake sits in North Seattle and is characterized by large conifers on older lots near the lake. During Puget Sound windstorms — especially November through February — saturated soils and hard south winds combine to bring down big trees. Calls like “tree fell on my roof” spike in these windows.

Insurance angle

Tree-on-roof damage is a standard homeowners claim. Open the claim and get a claim number before removal begins, and coordinate with the carrier on temporary tarping.

Before you hire

Ask any contractor for proof of current license and general liability insurance before work begins on your Bitter Lake property, and confirm coverage details with your homeowners insurance carrier. This is standard consumer guidance for any tree job.

FAQ

Will you tarp the roof after cutting the tree off?
Emergency crews will usually cut the tree off the structure so a roofer can install a proper tarp — tarping itself is often handled by a roofing crew or restoration contractor.
How long can a tree sit on my roof?
Every hour adds damage from water intrusion and structural load. Same-day removal is the goal.
