What emergency work usually covers

The first visit is usually about making it safe and stopping more damage: lifting the tree off the structure (sometimes with a crane), cutting it into manageable pieces, and tarping the roof. Full cleanup, stump grinding, and hauling can follow later at normal rates. See tree removal for how crane and tight-access jobs work.

Emergency and after-hours work usually costs more than scheduled work. Agree on the price before work starts, in writing or by text if possible.

What usually isn't an emergency

A tree down across the yard, a limb on a fence, or a split tree that isn't threatening anything can usually wait for a regular quote. If the tree is only blocking the driveway, see storm cleanup.

Local guides: Pensacola, Gulf Breeze, Pace and Navarre.

Common questions

Is emergency removal covered by insurance?

When a tree damages a covered structure, removing the part on the structure is usually covered, subject to your deductible and limits. Ask your insurer before signing if you can.

How fast will someone come?

It depends on the provider and on how many other homes were hit. Right after a hurricane, demand can be extreme. We can't promise a response time.
