A tree on the house, a limb through the roof, a leaner that moved in the last storm — these don't wait for business hours and neither do we. Call, tell us what happened, and we'll tell you what happens next.
No mystery, no upsell — here's what the job actually involves.
The first visit is about stopping the damage from getting worse: lifting the weight off the structure, cutting away what's pressing on it, and tarping the opening. The full removal and cleanup can follow in daylight — the emergency part is making the building safe tonight.
A broken limb caught in the canopy over a driveway, or a tree whose root plate lifted in the wind, hasn't finished falling — it's paused. Those are emergencies before the next front comes through, not after, and they're exactly the calls we'd rather get early.
Storm damage to a structure is usually a homeowners claim. We photograph the scene before we touch it, keep the work itemized, and write the invoice so your adjuster can follow what was done and why. You handle the claim; we make it easy to file.

Call and we'll give you a real answer for right now — it depends on where you are and what the storm did to the rest of the county. Trees on houses and blocked driveways come first; a tree flat in the yard that isn't touching anything can safely wait its turn.
When a tree damages a covered structure, homeowners policies generally cover the removal from the structure and the repair — minus your deductible. A tree that fell in the open yard usually isn't covered. Either way you'll get documentation that holds up with an adjuster.
Stay away from it and call your utility first — a tree touching a line is their emergency, not ours, and no tree crew should touch it until the line is confirmed dead or cleared. Once the utility has done its part, we handle the tree.
Keep people and pets away from the tree — especially under anything hanging. Don't start cutting; wood under storm load stores tension in ways that hurt people. If it's safe to do so, photos from a distance help your claim. Then leave it alone until we get there.
Call — we'll tell you what to do next, even before we roll.
