What to Do While You Wait

You should stay away from the tree and any downed wires, keep out of the rooms under a tree on the roof, and call the utility first when a line is involved.

Take these steps before the crew arrives.

  • Keep clear of the tree

    Fallen trees tangled with wires are especially dangerous and should not be touched, not even a branch.

  • Call the utility first

    When a tree or limb touches a power line, call the utility company before you call us. Removal near a line waits until the utility has de-energized it or cleared the scene.

  • Stay out of the rooms below

    If the tree is resting on the roof, keep everyone out of the rooms underneath it until it has been lifted off.

  • Photograph it from a distance

    Take photos and video of the damage from a safe distance before any work starts. They help the insurance adjuster later.

Storm cleanup

Emergency Tree Service in Alpharetta

Our emergency tree service clears storm-downed trees from Alpharetta homes, driveways and fences once the site is safe to work. We take on these jobs after a storm:

  • A tree on the roof
  • A trunk across the driveway
  • A flattened fence or outbuilding
  • A power-line area, once the utility clears it

Crews clear fallen trees from homes, fences, outbuildings and power-line areas only when it is safe, and a tree near a line stays where it is until the utility has de-energized the line. A storm-downed tree is loaded and twisted in ways a standing one is not, which is why the OSHA Tree Care Industry page treats this as work for trained crews.

Free, no-obligation estimates, and we clean up when the work is done.

Tree on the roof

Lifting a Tree Off a Roof in Sections

The crew names the hazards, takes the tree off in sections, often with a crane, then tarps any opening in the roof. Storm work is dangerous, as TreesAreGood.org: Why Hire an Arborist explains, so no step gets skipped. Here is how the job runs, start to finish.

  1. Walk the site

    On an emergency call the crew walks the site and names the immediate risks before any saw starts.

  2. Make it safe

    The immediate hazard is stabilized or removed first, so nothing shifts while the crew works around it.

  3. Lift it off in sections

    The tree comes off section by section. Often a "grapple-saw crane" grips, cuts and lifts each piece clear instead of dragging it across the shingles.

  4. Tarp, clean up, document

    Where the tree came through, the opening is tarped to stop further damage. Then the site is cleaned up and the damage documented for insurance.

What it costs

How Emergency Tree Work Is Priced

Emergency work is priced by severity, access and time of day, and it costs more than a scheduled removal. The exact number for your tree comes from the call.

The Alpharetta average

$1,493

Emergency tree removal in Alpharetta averages around $1,493. That is an area average, not our quote: we quote the whole job before we start, with no surprise charges after.

Severity
A whole tree through the roof is a bigger job than a limb down on the lawn, and it is priced that way.
Access
A tree close to the house, a fence or a power line costs more to clear, and so does one a crane or bucket truck cannot easily reach.
Time of day
Emergency, same-day and after-hours work raises the price, so a tree on a roof after hours costs more than clearing a fallen limb in daytime.

Vickie Lewis Google review
These guys came highly recommended from friends and family. Alejandro Came and gave me a competitive quote on the same day, for a giant white oak that others said was too big. Showed up on time on the day we agreed on and did an amazing job. You can’t even tell they were here aside from the massive tree that’s gone. 10/10 would recommend to anyone. Fantastic crew.

Insurance

Insurance After a Storm

Insurance may pay to remove a tree that a storm drops on your house, and photos taken before work starts help the claim. Homeowners insurance may cover removal when a covered event such as a storm brings a tree down and damages property, but usually not routine removal of a dead or unwanted tree.

Take photos and video of the damage from a safe distance before the crew starts; they help the adjuster.

Questions

Storm tree questions we hear

What is considered emergency tree removal?

Emergency tree removal is taking away a tree a storm has brought down onto a house, driveway, fence, outbuilding or power-line area. The work starts once the site is safe, and near a power line it waits until the utility has de-energized the line or cleared the scene.

How to get trees removed for free?

Homeowners insurance may cover removal when a covered event such as a storm brings a tree down and damages property, though usually not routine removal of a dead or unwanted tree. Photos and video taken from a safe distance before work starts help the adjuster, and our estimates are free, with no obligation. What claims pay is set out in our guide to tree removal insurance.

What to expect from an emergency tree service?

Expect the crew to walk the site and name the immediate risks before any work starts. The hazard is stabilized or removed first, a tree on the roof comes off section by section, and then the site is cleaned up and the damage documented for insurance.
