What's Included

From the emergency to the cleanup

Storm work is different from a planned removal. There is a tree on a structure or a downed limb tangled in a fence, the wood is under tension, and it has to be taken apart in the right order or it does more damage coming off than it did going on. This is careful, methodical work, and it is a big part of what we do.

A storm response typically starts with making the situation safe: getting a tree off the roof, clearing a driveway or an entrance, and cutting apart what is under load without letting it spring or roll. From there we remove the rest of the tree, chip and haul the debris, and photograph the damage and the work for your records. If limbs are threatening but have not fallen yet, we will take those down too before they become the next problem.

Signs You Need It

When to call us after a storm

If anyone is in danger or you see downed power lines, call 911 and your utility first. Once everyone is safe, reach out to us for any of these:

  • A tree or large limb has fallen on your house, garage, deck, or fence
  • A tree is blocking your driveway, a road, or the way out of the property
  • A pine or hardwood has uprooted and is leaning against the house or a wire
  • Split or hanging limbs are still up in the canopy, waiting to drop
  • The soil has heaved and a tree has shifted but not yet fallen
  • You need the damage documented properly for an insurance claim

Why It Happens Here

Our storms reach farther inland than people expect

The Charlotte metro sits far enough from the coast that folks are sometimes surprised by how hard the weather hits. Summer thunderstorms roll through with real force, hurricane remnants sweep inland and soak the ground for days, and the occasional winter ice event loads limbs until they snap. Helene in 2024 was a hard reminder of how far inland a storm can reach into the Carolinas.

Combine that with our tall loblolly pines and saturated red clay, and storm season reliably means downed trees. A pine that has stood for decades can uproot in a single wet, windy night. We keep our crew and equipment ready through the season precisely because we know these storms, and we know how anxious it feels to have a tree on your roof and no idea who to call.

How the job works

Tell us what happened and where the tree is. We prioritize homes with structural damage and get to you as fast as we safely can.

2

Secure and document

We take the hazard off the structure, cut apart what is under load safely, and photograph the damage for your claim.

Full cleanup

Once the danger is handled we remove the rest of the tree, chip the brush, haul the wood, and leave the property clear.

Honest pricing, no surprises

Storm jobs vary widely because no two are alike, from a few hundred dollars to clear a downed limb to several thousand for a large tree removed off a house in pieces. When the damage is covered by a homeowner's claim, we document everything and work with your adjuster so the process is as painless as possible. We will always talk through the cost with you before the non-emergency portion of the work begins.

Questions about this service

Often, yes, particularly when a tree hits a covered structure like your home, garage, or fence. Coverage varies by policy, so we photograph the damage and the work thoroughly and give you documentation to support your claim. Check with your insurer on your specific coverage.
During active storm season we prioritize by urgency, putting homes with a tree on the structure at the front of the line. We move as quickly as we safely can, and we will give you an honest timeframe when you call rather than a promise we cannot keep.
Please do not, especially if it is on a structure, tangled in a line, or under tension. Storm-damaged wood can spring or roll unpredictably. Keep everyone clear and let our crew take it apart in the right order.
