Questions Homeowners Ask
When should I request storm cleanup?
Submit a request once conditions are safe and you can document damage from a distance. Mention blocked access, roof impacts, or hanging material.
Should I photograph the damage?
Yes, when it is safe. Wide and close photos can help with estimates and insurance documentation. Do not enter unstable areas to take them.
Does cleanup include stump grinding?
Usually it is a separate scope. Ask for grinding to be included if a fallen or removed tree leaves a stump you want addressed.
Need an Estimate?
Tell us what is happening, where the tree is located, and whether structures or access are affected. We will route your request to a local service provider for follow-up.
Document Storm Damage Before Cleanup
When it is safe, photograph affected trees, structures, vehicles, fences, and access routes before debris is moved. Keep receipts and written estimates, and ask your insurer what documentation it requires. Avoid climbing on damaged structures or walking beneath cracked limbs simply to take pictures.
Separate immediate hazards from routine cleanup
A blocked exit, tree on an occupied structure, suspended limb over a travel area, or contact with electrical lines requires a different response from ordinary hauling and yard cleanup. Call emergency services for an immediate threat to life and the utility for power-line hazards. Once the site is safe, identify whether the requested scope includes cutting, chipping, hauling, log stacking, final raking, or stump grinding.
For active hazards, begin with the emergency tree service page. Learn what defects to watch for in the storm-damaged tree safety guide, or review planned tree removal. See all listed communities on the service areas page.
