Their responsibility. You also have the right to remove limbs on your property.

You have the right to remove the overhanging limbs. Had you done so, you would not have had the damage. Your homeowners insurance should cover the damage. So, put in a claim with your homeowners insurance, get the roof fixed and hire someone to cut the limbs that hang over the property line. Problem solved.
