Emergency response
Your emergency, handled in four steps
A tree on the house can’t wait for an appointment. Here’s how a priority call goes, from your first ring to a cleared, cleaned-up property.
You call, we roll
Call and tell us what happened. Storm damage and fallen trees jump the line ahead of routine work, so the sooner you call, the sooner a crew heads your way.
Safe scene first
Before anything gets cut, the crew stabilizes what’s dangerous — the leaning trunk, the hanging limb, the weight still up in the tree.
The tree gets cleared
Sectioned down and rigged where it’s tight, the same controlled takedown used near any structure, so nothing else takes a hit.
Cleanup and claim photos
The debris gets hauled, and you get photos and an itemized invoice for your insurance claim.
Why hire a pro
Why this isn’t a DIY job
A storm-damaged tree is under tension and unpredictable — the worst time to grab a chainsaw yourself. Here’s what a crew that does this every day brings.
Safe with a tree under load
A bent or pinned trunk can snap back the instant it’s cut. A crew reads the tension and releases it in the right order, from a safe position.
No more damage on the way down
The tree comes off the house or the car in controlled sections, rigged and lowered, so what’s underneath takes no second hit.
Photos and an invoice for your claim
You get documentation of the damage and an itemized invoice — the paperwork your insurer asks for, handled without you chasing it.
One crew, start to clear
Stabilize, take down, haul off, clean up. One call covers the whole emergency instead of lining up help mid-crisis.
Storm & tree emergencies
Emergencies that can’t wait
On the list or not, the move is the same — call now and tell us what’s going on.
Tree on the house or roof
Lifted off and cleared without making the damage worse, even tight against the structure.
Tree or limb on a car or fence
Worked off carefully so what’s underneath takes no more hits than it already has.
Fallen tree blocking the driveway
Cut and cleared so you can get in and out, and so can an ambulance or fire truck if it comes to that.
Leaning or uprooted tree
A trunk that shifted or lifted its roots after a storm, brought down before it finishes falling on its own.
Hanging or cracked limb
A widow-maker hung up over a walkway or roofline, taken down before it drops on its own.
Split trunk or storm damage
Fresh breaks and splits after a blow are already unstable, so we treat them as priority calls.
Emergency pricing
What an emergency call costs
Storm work is priced on the spot — the size of the tree, how it fell, and what it’s resting on all change the job. You get a clear price before any work starts.
If a tree hit your house, insurance may cover part of it, and you’ll get photos and an itemized invoice either way. But the number that matters right now is our phone number — call and a crew gets moving.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
A tree just fell on my house. What do I do first?
Get everyone out and away from it, and stay clear of any downed power lines — treat every line as live, and call your utility and 911 if one’s involved. Then call us at (916) 809-8733 and tell us what happened. If it’s safe, snap a few photos for your insurance. Don’t climb up or try to cut it yourself; a tree under that kind of tension can move fast.
Can you come out for an urgent tree emergency?
Call (916) 809-8733 and tell us what happened. Storm damage and fallen trees get treated as priority calls, and you’ll get a straight answer on how soon a crew can reach you. The sooner we hear from you, the sooner that can happen.
Does homeowners insurance cover emergency tree removal?
Often, when the tree hit a covered structure like your house, garage, or shed in a storm. Coverage is usually capped, commonly around $500 to $1,000 per tree, and a tree that only fell in the yard usually isn’t covered. Every policy’s different, so check yours. We give you photos and an itemized invoice for the claim either way.
How fast can you get here?
It depends on what else is going on, especially after a big storm when a lot of people are calling at once. Local to the Sacramento area means a crew isn’t starting an hour away. Call and we’ll give you a straight answer on timing, not a runaround.
What does emergency tree removal cost?
More than the same job booked in advance, because of the speed, the after-hours work, and the extra care a damaged tree on a structure takes. The size of the tree and how it fell drive the rest. If it hit your house, insurance may cover part of it. You get a clear price before any work starts.
