Way OT - Quick ? for Mgolawyers out there
are you harvey spector by any chance?
The tree is responsible for it.
You'll likely do better just to call your insurance company. Most homeowner's policies will cover any damage due to storms and a set amount of the removal cost.
If it is affecting the electric service to your home right now, we might remove what we need to remove in order to restore your power, but in storm situations, we do not take the debris away and you are still responsible for having the damage assessed by your insurer.
If there is no damage, as a warning, tree removal for a tree of any size can be expensive and it is all on you.
Higgs-Boson
The Higgs-Boson collided in the accelerator for our sins. REPENT!
“The roof is fine… who’s responsible?” You seem like a really nice and agreeable person…
Unless you told your neighbor to remove the tree prior to said storm and provided a reason why he/she should remove said tree.
Call your agent and let him/her deal with it. If there is anything to be done as it relates to your neighbor, the insurance company will handle it and you won't have to pay anything. They call that a 'subro' action, short for subrogation, meaning you assign any cause of action you might have to the insurance company and they take it from there. You are probably talking less than $5K to remove tree and fix roof (I'm a licensed contractor too, and you're going to want somebody up there quick to make sure you don't have more significant problems up there).
Incidentally, if it was an old decaying tree, your neighbor would be on notice that it was a hazard and needed to be tended to. Since fortunately the damage is minimal, it's not that big of a deal.
Happy 4th to the maize and blue faithful
Hope you have homeowner's insurance.
I can't tell you why, but she is. Go blame her now.
