5 Stars from 1,000's of Happy Customers

Great from start to completion. We had a 40-foot pine tree that had died and was a hazard — it had to come down quickly. They were out in a couple of days and gave the best quote of the three we got.

Tree Down? Here Is What Happens Next

You call, and you get a person who can send a truck. We ask what fell, what it landed on, and whether any wires are involved, because that changes who has to go first.

On site, the crew stabilizes before it cuts. A trunk lying on a roof is holding weight in a specific way, and cutting it in the wrong order can drop the rest of it through the ceiling. We section it off the structure piece by piece, clear the ground the way we would for any storm damage cleanup, and haul it out.

What to Do Before We Arrive

A few minutes of the right moves protects your safety and your claim. None of this involves getting near the tree.

  • Get everyone out of the rooms under the damage
  • Treat every downed wire as live, and stay 30 feet back
  • Shut off power to the affected area if you can do it safely
  • Photograph everything from a distance before anything is moved
  • Call your insurer to open a claim, then call us
  • Do not climb on the roof and do not start cutting

Why a Chainsaw and a Weekend Is a Bad Plan

Most serious chainsaw injuries in Pennsylvania happen during storm cleanup, to homeowners, not to tree workers. A fallen trunk is under compression on one side and tension on the other, and a cut in the wrong place makes the log spring or roll, which is exactly what our emergency tree crews train for.

Add a ladder, a wet roof, and a tree still connected to a live line, and it stops being a money-saving project. We do this every week and carry the insurance for when it goes sideways.

We Work With All Insurance Companies

A tree on your house, your garage, your fence, or your car is a covered loss on almost every homeowners policy in Pennsylvania. In most cases your insurance company pays for the removal, not you.

Call us and call your insurance. Whoever you are with, State Farm, Erie, Allstate, Nationwide, Travelers, USAA, we work with all of them. We photograph the damage before we move anything and give you an itemized written estimate broken out by structure, which is what your adjuster needs to approve the claim.
