Emergency tree services are very dangerous. Especially in slick and wet conditions just after or during a storm. We do not recommend removing a storm-damaged tree in the dark. The salesman will recommend the emergency job be completed the very next morning for safety reasons. Our estimators will go over the details of the emergency job with you and possibly recommend staying in a hotel for the night, or multiple nights if the damage is severe. Insurance usually covers these costs.

Using a Crane for Emergency Tree Removal

Cranes come in very handy for removing trees from houses. JL Tree Service Inc. owns 3 cranes and has full-time crane operators who work with our tree crews every day. It is very important that crew members work together regularly for moments like taking huge trees off houses. Crane operators and tree climbers must have excellent communication skills with each other to coordinate each piece and cut to be lifted off the house. Our crews and crane operators at JL Tree Service Inc. have many years of experience performing emergency tree services. Once the tree has been removed, usually a restoration company is the next to perform service. The restoration company can install a tarp to cover the hole in the roof.

What does the insurance company usually cover?

Insurance companies will generally cover the cost of trees that fall onto a structure. If a tree has fallen across neighboring yards, property line boundaries are used to determine the responsible party. If a tree does not hit a structure, insurance companies usually do not assume responsibility. It really depends on the insurance company and policy a homeowner has on their dwelling.
