When You Need Emergency Tree Services

Tree emergencies don't wait for business hours. When a storm rolls through Quincy or a tree suddenly fails, you need help fast. We provide 24/7 emergency response for situations that threaten your safety, your home, or your property. Our crew can be on site quickly to assess the damage and start making things safe again.

Here are common situations where you should call for immediate tree care:

• •A tree has fallen on your house, garage, car, or other structures
• •Branches are touching or have damaged power lines to your home
• •A tree is leaning dangerously after a storm and could fall at any time
• •Large branches are hanging and threatening to fall on people, vehicles, or buildings
• •A fallen tree is blocking your driveway, street, or access to your property
• •Storm damage has left your trees in unstable condition with visible cracks or splits

Don't try to handle these situations yourself. Trees under stress can behave unpredictably, and working around power lines is extremely dangerous. Let trained professionals with proper equipment handle the risk.

How We Handle Tree Emergencies

Quick Assessment and Action

When you call for emergency service, we gather information about your situation and dispatch a crew as quickly as possible. Our first priority is always safety. We assess the immediate hazards, secure the area, and develop a plan to stabilize or remove the threat.

If a tree is on your house, we carefully remove it in sections to prevent additional damage. This takes more time than simply cutting it apart, but it protects your roof and interior from further harm. We work methodically, using rigging and ropes to control each piece as we cut.

Working Safely in Dangerous Conditions

Emergency tree work is some of the most dangerous work we do. Trees damaged by storms or disease are unpredictable. Branches under tension can spring violently when cut. Trunks can split or fall in unexpected directions. Our crew has specialized training for these situations and uses the right equipment to stay safe while fixing the problem.

We carry heavy-duty chainsaws, rigging gear, and safety equipment on our trucks. For major emergencies, we can bring in cranes or other heavy equipment. If power lines are involved, we coordinate with your utility company to make sure the lines are safe before we start work. In some cases, the utility needs to disconnect power temporarily while we remove the tree.

Preventing Future Tree Emergencies

Regular Maintenance Reduces Risk

The best time to deal with a dangerous tree is before it becomes an emergency. Regular tree trimming and pruning removes dead branches and reduces wind resistance in the canopy. This helps trees survive storms that might otherwise break them apart.

Weak or diseased trees should be removed before they fail. A tree that's already compromised won't survive a major storm, and it's much safer and cheaper to take it down on your schedule rather than in an emergency after it falls. We can inspect your trees and identify potential hazards before they become problems.

What to Do After a Storm

After severe weather passes through Quincy, walk around your property and look for damage. Check for broken branches hanging in trees, cracks in trunks, or trees that are leaning more than they were before the storm. Look at the ground around tree bases for lifted roots or fresh soil heaving.

Don't go near trees touching power lines. Call your utility company first, then call us. If you need urgent tree removal services, we'll get someone out to evaluate the situation. Even if the damage isn't immediately dangerous, it's worth having a professional take a look. Some storm damage isn't obvious until weeks later when a weakened branch finally breaks.

Working With Your Insurance Company

If storm damage involves your home or other structures, your homeowner's insurance might cover the tree removal. We've worked with dozens of insurance companies over the years and know how to document the damage properly for your claim.

We take photos before and during the work, provide detailed invoices, and can speak with your insurance adjuster if needed. Most insurance companies require you to get multiple quotes, so we make our estimates clear and comprehensive. We'll explain exactly what work needs to be done and why, so you can make informed decisions about your claim.

Keep in mind that insurance typically covers trees that damage structures, but not trees that simply fall in your yard. Your policy details matter, so it's worth checking with your agent. Either way, we can handle the work and help you navigate the process.
