Emergency Storm Response
Tree on the house at 2 a.m.? One call reaches a crew lead, not a voicemail. We stabilize, remove and document for your claim.
What this service solves
When a tree comes down on a home the first priority is making the structure safe, not clearing the yard. Our emergency crews stabilize the load, remove the weight from the roof in controlled picks, and coordinate tarping with licensed roofers so rain stops getting in the same day.
During named storms we stage equipment and crews in Tampa, Brandon and Clearwater before landfall. After the wind drops below safe working limits, calls are triaged by danger: occupied homes and blocked exits first, then vehicles, driveways and yards. You get a crew lead's cell number and a realistic arrival window.
How the job runs
Four steps, the same on every property, so you know exactly who is in your yard and what happens next.
- 1
Call the storm line
A dispatcher takes your address, what is hit and whether anyone is inside, then assigns the nearest crew.
- 2
Make it safe
The crew checks for downed lines, stabilizes the tree and removes the weight from the structure first.
- 3
Document everything
Photos and video before, during and after every cut, delivered to you the same day.
- 4
Clear and follow up
Remaining debris is removed on the next pass, and we meet your adjuster if needed.

No. A tree on a roof is often under tension and can shift when a limb is cut. Stay out of rooms under the damage, keep clear of any wires and wait for the crew.
When a tree damages a covered structure, most Florida homeowner policies cover removal, often with a cap per tree. We document the damage so you can file with full detail.
No. Our storm rates are published before the season and we do not add surge pricing. After-hours calls carry a flat, stated fee.
We never touch energized lines. If a tree is on a line we report it to TECO or Duke Energy and work around it once the utility clears the area.
