Common Questions About Storm Response and Emergency Tree Services
We typically work directly with homeowners, but we know how to document our work for insurance purposes to make things easy for your claims. If needed, we can communicate with your insurance provider through our office staff.
We aim to respond within 24-48 hours. For severe damage, we can often be on-site more quickly. Response times may be longer during major weather events or outside normal business hours.
We prioritize based on the level of risk. Top priorities include:
- Trees or branches that have fallen on houses, structures, or vehicles
- Trees touching power lines
- Dangerous hanging branches that could fall soon
Branches that have already fallen and are on the ground are a lower priority, but we can help with that once we’ve address emergency situations.
We focus on removing tree debris from storm damage. We can't dispose of other types of debris, like damaged siding or fencing, through our dump sites.
We work with a trusted local contractor who can provide roof tarping services. We recommend checking with your insurance provider first, as this service may have additional costs.
We work with FEMA on large city contracts, but we're not set up to work directly with FEMA for individual homeowners or businesses.
