Exeter's Wooded Property Roofing Experts
You may have heard it, that sharp crack that made them stop what they were doing.
Could’ve been anything, but it definitely didn’t sound good. Now you find yourself looking up at their roofs, wondering if that branch they’ve been meaning to deal with finally gave up, or if something actually made contact with their house.
Later, when you walked around outside, maybe you spotted some bark chips on their roof or noticed gutters sitting a little funny. Hard to tell from the ground what’s really going on up there.
Mike Trouern-Trend and his Rhino-Back Roofing team know Exeter properties like few contractors do. The team understands what it means to work on homes surrounded by mature oak and maple trees, where driveways might be a quarter-mile long and the nearest neighbor could be out of sight. The unique challenges of properties along Route 165 or tucked back in the Arcadia Management Area.
Tree damage can fool property owners. What looks scary from the ground might be no big deal. Then again, minor-looking damage can hide bigger problems.
Most Exeter jobs get done in one day, though Rhino-Back always plans extra time for the logistics of working in heavily wooded, rural locations.

Working in rural Exeter means dealing with narrow roads, long driveways, and properties where the trees outnumber the houses by about a thousand to one. Rhino-Back Roofing's crew brings equipment designed for wooded properties and knows how to work around the challenges rural locations present.
Tree Damage Assessments That Actually Matter

Rhino-Back gets up there and provides the real story - what needs immediate attention, what can wait, and what's just cosmetic damage that looks worse than it is. Free roof inspections for Exeter properties include detailed tree damage assessments that most contractors skip entirely.
Rural Insurance Claims for Tree Damage
Tree damage insurance claims can get complicated fast. Was it a healthy tree or dead one? Storm damage or gradual failure? How do you document damage when properties are miles from town? Rhino-Back Roofing understands rural tree damage claims inside and out. The National Weather Service - Providence shows that heavily wooded areas experience more frequent storm damage, but also more complex insurance situations. The team knows how to document everything properly.

Exeter Rural Roofing Questions
The team plans logistics carefully before starting any job. Rhino-Back’s crew knows Exeter’s back roads and private roads, brings appropriate equipment for challenging access, and coordinates with property owners about gates, driveways, and any access restrictions. Remote location shouldn’t mean inferior service.
Most jobs still finish in one day, but wooded properties need extra time for setup, debris management, and cleanup. Rhino-Back also works around tree coverage and waits for better weather windows when needed. The company schedules realistically so property owners know what to expect.
Depends on a bunch of factors – was the tree healthy or diseased, was it storm damage or did it just fall over, what exactly got damaged. Rhino-Back documents everything thoroughly and works with adjusters to make sure property owners get proper coverage. Rural tree damage claims need more detailed documentation than typical roofing claims.
That’s a tough call. Healthy trees provide shade and storm protection, but dead or diseased trees are obviously risky. Rhino-Back can point out which trees might be problems, but for the bigger picture property owners would want to talk to an arborist about what makes sense for their property.
Small stuff bounces off usually, but the bark and twigs can clog up your gutters something fierce. The real problem’s when you get a branch thick as your arm coming down – that’ll punch right through shingles and maybe crack the decking underneath. Can’t always tell from the ground either. Had one guy thought he just lost a few shingles, turned out a branch cracked half his roof deck.
Yeah, that drives people nuts. You can add foam insulation under the metal, but it’s not cheap and you gotta access the attic space. Most folks just learn to live with it – kind of comes with the territory when you’re living in the forest. At least you know when squirrels are up there having a party.
Out here? Guards help but they’re not magic. You’ll still be cleaning them, just not as often. The fine pine needles get through everything anyway. Some of these properties, we tell people just budget for cleaning three, four times a year instead of fighting it. That’s the price of all those beautiful trees.
Gotta get up there and look. Sometimes what sounds like the end of the world is just a branch bouncing off. Other times something that barely made a sound cracked your decking or broke the seal around a vent. We look for missing granules, dented gutters, loose shingles – stuff you can’t see from your driveway.
Yeah, tree cover makes ice dams worse. Because, snow doesn’t melt evenly, your roof stays colder, ice backs up under the shingles. Those big icicles look cool but they’re usually a sign you got problems. We see a lot of ice damage out here – water gets where it shouldn’t, next thing you know you’re dealing with ceiling stains and soggy insulation.
