Emergency Storm Damage Tree Removal, in Plain English
Bluff country wind is real. When a front comes through the Lake Pepin valley, it splits cottonwood trunks, rips limbs off old silver maple, and drops whole trees on roofs, fences, and driveways. Emergency storm-damage work is making that tree safe fast, then getting the debris off your property.
The first move is always securing the hazard — a half-fallen tree still hung up in another tree, or a limb resting on a roof or service drop, is dangerous and needs to come down controlled. Then we chip the brush, haul the wood, and rake the site so you're not looking at a pile of storm debris for a month.

FAQ
Emergency Storm Damage Tree Removal Questions
How fast can you get out after a storm?+
Storm damage is a priority. Call (651) 345-2293 and we'll get out as fast as we can — often same day during the week — to make the tree safe and start cleanup. After big regional storms we triage the most dangerous calls first.
A tree is on my roof — what do I do first?+
Stay clear of it, especially if there's any chance it's in contact with a power line or service drop. Call us and, if there's any electrical contact, your utility. We secure the tree before anything else so it can't shift and do more damage.
Do you work with insurance?+
We can document the damage and the work for your insurance claim. Most storm removal is a covered peril under a standard homeowners policy; check with your adjuster on your deductible and coverage.
Can you remove a tree that's hung up in another tree?+
Yes — that's one of the more dangerous storm scenarios and we're set up for it. We rig the hung-up tree down in pieces so it doesn't come free on its own and drop on whatever's below.
What if the storm hit at night or on a Sunday?+
Call (651) 345-2293. We're open Monday–Saturday 8 AM–8 PM and we keep storm response as a priority. For a tree on a house or a live wire, we'll get there as fast as we can regardless of the day.
