Interrupted By A Tree

It’s a cold, windy night. You’re cuddled up with a good book trying to stay warm. Then all of a sudden… crash! It sounds as though a freight train has gone through your attic.

Once you gather yourself from the near-heart attack you’ve just had, and realize that your backyard tree has just pierced your roof, it is it is important that you report the damage as soon as possible to your insurance company or to The O’Neill Group. During the call, you will be asked to provide a summary description of the damages that have occurred.

After you make the call, it is important that you make any necessary temporary repairs to keep yourself safe from intruders or from the outdoor elements. This could mean placing temporary plywood or heavy tarps to cover the damages. If the fallen tree has also taken down your power lines, call your service provider for repairs.
