Storm damage repair by True Builders in Central Florida

Fallen Tree Damage Repair for Central Florida homes, done right

When a Florida storm sends an oak or pine through your roof, the next few hours matter. Water finds every opening, the structure can keep shifting, and a bad situation gets worse fast. True Builders responds quickly across Central Florida to secure your home, coordinate safe removal of the tree, and repair the roof, framing, and interior completely and to code.

We are a family-owned, licensed general contractor (CBC1258346) based in Plant City, serving Lakeland, Tampa, Brandon, Winter Haven, Wesley Chapel, Zephyrhills, Davenport, Bartow, Auburndale, Haines City, and the surrounding Polk, Hillsborough, and Pasco county communities since 2009. Homeowners have trusted us with this kind of work for years, earning 4.8 stars across more than 400 Google reviews as part of the True family that has served over 100,000 customers.

From the first emergency call through the final walkthrough, one accountable team handles everything. We secure the opening, document the damage for your insurance company, and rebuild, so you are never left chasing separate tree crews, roofers, and contractors while rain is in the forecast.

What to Do First After a Tree Hits Your Home

The moment a tree comes down on your house, your first job is safety, not cleanup. Get everyone out of the affected rooms, stay clear of anything sagging overhead, and keep away from the tree itself if it is tangled with power lines. Then call True Builders at (863) 647-1800 so we can secure the structure before more water or wind gets in.

A few smart steps in the first hour protect both your family and your claim. Once people are safe, document what you can and let our crew handle the rest.

  • Move everyone away from rooms under the impact and out of the home if the structure feels unstable
  • Never touch a tree that is contacting power lines; call the utility and stay back
  • Shut off power to the affected area at the breaker if ceilings are wet or sagging
  • Take photos and video of the tree and damage from a safe distance for your insurance claim
  • Call True Builders for 24/7 emergency securing before the next rain band moves through

24/7 Emergency Response to Secure Your Home

Central Florida storms do not wait for business hours, and neither do we. Our storm team answers around the clock and gets to your property fast to stabilize the structure, tarp the opening, and stop water from spreading into walls, insulation, and flooring. Securing the home quickly is what keeps a roof repair from turning into a full interior rebuild.

Because we are a full general contractor and not a single-trade crew, the same team that tarps your roof tonight is the team that frames and finishes the repair later. Nothing falls through the cracks between contractors.

  • Live, around-the-clock emergency response across Polk, Hillsborough, and Pasco counties
  • Immediate roof tarping and board-up to close the opening the tree left
  • Water extraction and drying handed to our sister company True Plumbers at trueplumbers.com, then we rebuild
  • Temporary shoring of compromised framing to make the home safe
  • A licensed project manager on site to assess the full scope, not just the obvious damage

Coordinating Safe Tree Removal From the Structure

Getting a tree off a house is not the same as clearing one from the yard. A trunk resting on roof framing is holding weight, and cutting it the wrong way can drop the load and cause more damage. We coordinate the safe, controlled removal of the tree from the structure so the home is relieved without a second round of harm.

This is one of the biggest advantages of having a single contractor manage the job. We sequence the removal and the repair together, so the moment the tree is off, our crew is ready to secure and rebuild rather than leaving your home open while you line up the next company.

  • Controlled removal of the tree from the roof and walls, sequenced to avoid further damage
  • Debris hauling and site cleanup once the structure is clear
  • Removal and repair scheduled as one continuous job, not separate calls
  • Careful protection of undamaged areas of the home during the lift and cut
  • One point of contact managing the tree crew, roofing, and reconstruction together

Full Structural and Roof Repair, Done to Code

Once the tree is off and the home is secured, the real repair begins. A tree strike often damages far more than the shingles you can see, reaching into roof trusses, wall framing, ceilings, insulation, and the rooms below. As a licensed general contractor, we repair all of it to current Florida building code and pull the permits the work requires.

Every trade is under our roof, so framing, roofing coordination, drywall, flooring, paint, and finish carpentry are handled by one team working from one plan. The finished repair should look like the impact never happened.

  • Structural repair of roof trusses, rafters, and damaged wall framing
  • Roof deck and roofing coordination to close the home back up watertight
  • Drywall, insulation, and ceiling repair in the affected rooms
  • Flooring, trim, paint, and finish work to match the rest of your home
  • Permitting and code-compliant reconstruction handled start to finish

How Our Fallen Tree Repair Process Works

From your first call to the final walkthrough, we keep the process clear so you always know what comes next. Here is how a typical fallen tree repair moves forward with True Builders.

  1. Emergency call and rapid response: we answer 24/7 and dispatch a crew to secure your home
  2. Secure and protect: we tarp the opening and shore up unsafe framing, and True Plumbers handles any water extraction
  3. Assess and document: a project manager scopes the full damage and documents it for your insurer
  4. Tree removal: we coordinate safe removal of the tree from the structure and clear the debris
  5. Rebuild to code: we repair framing, roof, drywall, flooring, and finishes with permits handled
  6. Final walkthrough: we review the completed work with you to make sure every detail is right

Working With Your Insurance Company

Most Central Florida homeowner policies cover damage from a tree striking your home, but a clean claim depends on clear documentation. We photograph and itemize the full scope of the damage, write a detailed estimate, and coordinate directly with your insurance company throughout the repair so the conversation is grounded in facts, not guesswork.

Because one licensed contractor sees the job from the emergency securing through the final finish, nothing gets missed in the handoff between a tree crew, a roofer, and a builder. Financing is also available if you need to move forward on repairs while a claim is still being processed.

  • Thorough photo and written documentation of the full damage for your claim
  • Detailed, line-item repair estimates your adjuster can work from
  • Direct coordination with your insurance company during the repair
  • One contractor accountable for the whole scope, so nothing slips through the gaps
  • Financing available so urgent repairs are not held up by claim timing
