Storm Damage in Upper Arlington: What You Need to Know

Upper Arlington's massive tree canopy — while beautiful — makes it one of the most vulnerable Columbus suburbs to storm damage from fallen trees and limbs. Wind events regularly bring down large branches and entire trees onto homes, vehicles, and power lines. The city's mid-century homes, many with original roofing materials nearing end of life, are also susceptible to wind and hail damage.

Frequently Asked Questions — Storm Damage in Upper Arlington

Upper Arlington-Specific Questions

My Upper Arlington home lost a heritage oak to straight-line winds — is tree-removal covered if it didn't hit the house? +
Generally no. Ohio homeowners policies cover fallen-tree removal only when the tree damages a covered structure (dwelling, garage, fence, driveway, or a covered detached structure). A heritage oak that falls harmlessly into the Upper Arlington yard is your removal expense — often $2,000 to $5,000 for a large tree. We document any incidental damage (crushed landscaping over hardscape, downed fence sections) that may pull the removal cost into coverage.
Upper Arlington's 1950s homes have original cedar shake roofs — will insurance pay to replace with cedar after hail or just downgrade to asphalt? +
Ohio policies require like-kind-and-quality replacement, so original cedar shake must be replaced with cedar shake unless your policy specifically excludes wood roofing or limits payment to a less-expensive material (some carriers added wood-roof exclusions after 2010). Review your declarations page. If wood is covered, we document the original shake grade, ridge detail, and underlayment, then supplement when carriers initially scope architectural asphalt as a substitute.
Power lines came down on my Upper Arlington home during an ice storm — does insurance cover the electrical service damage? +
Yes for the home side, no for the utility side. Ohio policies cover damage to the masthead, weatherhead, and electrical entrance on your house — typically including riser, meter base, and panel. AEP Ohio owns and repairs the service line from the pole to your masthead at no cost. We coordinate the timing with AEP so power can be safely restored, document the homeowner-side electrical scope, and handle the licensed-electrician work and inspections required by Upper Arlington code.

General Storm Damage Questions

How quickly can you respond to storm damage in Upper Arlington? +
We deploy crews within 60 minutes of your call. During major storm events, we pre-position teams across the Columbus metro to ensure rapid response to Upper Arlington and surrounding areas.
Does homeowners insurance cover storm damage? +
Yes, storm damage from wind, hail, fallen trees, and lightning is typically covered by standard homeowner's policies. We document everything thoroughly and work directly with your insurer.
What should I do immediately after storm damage? +
Ensure everyone is safe first. If the roof is compromised, cover furnishings and move valuables. Do not go on the roof yourself. Document damage with photos and call us for emergency board-up and tarping.
Can you handle both emergency stabilization and full repair? +
Yes, we manage the entire process from initial emergency board-up through complete reconstruction, so you have a single point of contact throughout the restoration.
How long does storm damage restoration take? +
Emergency stabilization happens same-day. Full restoration timelines depend on severity — minor repairs may take 1–2 weeks, while major reconstruction can take 2–4 months.
