Project Overview

A large maple limb came down during a windstorm and punched through the roof over the garage. Crew arrived within four hours to tarp the opening and returned the next day to complete a permanent repair.

Process

Four-hour emergency response; tarp with batten fastening; next-day structural visit; sister rafter install; sheathing replacement; dry-in; shingle re-weave; debris cleanup.

Outcome

Homeowner was able to use the garage the following day. Roof integrity fully restored within forty-eight hours of the storm.
