There have been a number of different storms in the region this year and we have had an unusual amount of rain.
During one of those storms, the roof on the shed was completely demolished by a tree.
The wind must have picked up the tree and deposited it on top of the roof. It hit the top of the house with a lot of force. We were very thankful that the beams held up and took most of the force from the falling tree. I didn’t know what to do when the tree fell on the house. We immediately had to move to a place in the middle of the house where our family was safe. We placed some tarps against the house so we could shield ourselves from the rain. When the rain finally stopped 2 days later, we had to contact a roofing contractor to get an estimate on all of the damages. The roofing contractor told me that he could bill the insurance company. The homeowners insurance covered all of the damages because the tree fell during a storm. A couple of weeks later, the roofing contractor came back to the house with a team of experts. They made sure that the roof was put back together even better than it was in the past. I got brand new tile on the top of the house because the old color was no longer available. The roof has a 20-year warranty, so it should last the rest of the time that my family and I live in the place.
