Safety and access
We confirm whether the roof can be approached. Tree removal or structural stabilization may need to happen first.

Tree and debris roof impact · Charlotte, NC
A tree hit the roof. What happens next?
Majestic separates immediate safety and temporary protection from the permanent roofing repair, then documents every accessible condition before the roof is closed.
SAFETY FIRST
Stay away from the impact area. If the tree contacts power lines, the structure is shifting, or anyone is in danger, call 911 and the utility first. Do not enter an unstable attic or climb onto the roof.
What you may notice
Visible clues help define the inspection—not the final diagnosis.
Use these examples to describe what you see from a safe location. A photo cannot confirm every roof layer, hidden moisture, cause or repairability.
- Branches or a trunk resting on the roof
- Open shingles, underlayment or decking
- Sagging roof lines or cracked framing
- Damaged gutters, fascia, soffit or vents
- New ceiling stains or active water entry
Before the crew arrives
Five first steps for the homeowner.
Do only what can be completed safely from the ground or a stable interior area.
- 01
Move people and pets away from the affected rooms.
- 02
Photograph visible conditions from the ground only when safe.
- 03
Call emergency authorities or the utility for life-safety or electrical hazards.
- 04
Call Majestic so roof access, weather and temporary protection can be assessed.
- 05
Preserve receipts, photos and the time the damage was discovered.
How Majestic handles this specific problem
A documented path from concern to completed roof.
The exact scope depends on safe access and what the inspection confirms. These five stages show how this particular roof condition is evaluated and repaired.
Temporary protection
When conditions are safe, exposed areas may be covered to reduce additional water entry.
Roof and structure inspection
We document shingles, underlayment, decking, penetrations, roof edges and visible framing concerns.
Written repair scope
The scope separates roofing work from tree service, electrical, structural or interior work that may require another qualified trade.
Repair and closeout
Authorized materials are removed and rebuilt in sequence, followed by final photographs, invoice and applicable warranty documents.
What happens when we arrive
Six checkpoints from arrival through closeout.
Majestic documents the roof as a construction system, explains choices before work begins and keeps insurance coverage decisions separate from contractor work.
Arrival, interview and safety check
The technician confirms what happened, when the condition was first noticed, whether water is entering now and which interior rooms are affected. Before using a ladder, Majestic checks weather, electrical, tree, structural and fall hazards and explains any access limitation.
Interior and ground-level reference
When relevant and accessible, the team starts at the stain, drip or impacted room, reviews the attic from a safe access point and then walks the exterior perimeter. This creates a reference line between the interior evidence and the roof area above it.
Roof-system inspection
When safe access is available, Majestic reviews affected slopes plus shingles, ridge and hip caps, valleys, flashing, pipe boots, vents, skylights, roof edges, gutters, fascia and soffit. Wide photographs show location; detail photographs show the condition.
Measurements and factual documentation
The record identifies visible conditions, roof geometry, affected components and estimated quantities. Storm-related observations are separated from age, maintenance, installation details and hidden conditions that cannot be confirmed without authorized removal.
Options explained before authorization
Majestic explains immediate protection, localized repair, section rebuild and replacement paths when applicable. The homeowner receives a written roofing path and can choose an out-of-pocket project or use the factual documents in a claim they manage with their carrier.
Construction, verification and closeout
After a written scope is approved, materials and schedule are confirmed. Majestic performs the authorized roofing work, controls debris and cleanup, photographs completion and provides the applicable invoice, warranty and project-closeout documents.
Repair options
The inspection determines which option can be built reliably.
Final materials, quantities, code requirements and hidden conditions are confirmed in the written scope.
Localized roof repair
Remove damaged shingles and underlayment, replace affected decking when verified, restore the water-shedding layers and match materials as closely as practical.
Section rebuild
When an impact damages a valley, ridge, eave or multiple components, a larger roof section may need coordinated removal and reconstruction.
Structural coordination
Broken rafters, trusses or displaced framing require evaluation and a separate structural repair path before final roofing is completed.
Full replacement
Replacement may be considered when damage is widespread, matching is impractical, the system is near the end of service life or a reliable localized repair cannot be built.
