When the weather wins, the sequence matters: safety, tarp-and-secure, documentation, clean removal. We run all four - fast.
The dangerous hours are right after the storm - energized lines under debris, loaded limbs under tension and unlicensed 'storm chasers' knocking with chainsaws and cash prices. Call your insurer, photograph everything, and get a real crew: we secure hazards first, tarp exposed structures, document as we work and remove in an order that protects what's still standing.
Storm work runs triage: houses and access before back-fence cleanup. Tell us your situation honestly and we'll slot you honestly - and if it can safely wait a day, we'll say that too.
When trees hit structures, generally yes - and our documentation is built for that process. Trees down in the open yard vary by policy; check yours.
Everyone out, power off if lines are involved, insurer called, photos taken from safe distance - then call us. Don't let anyone climb on anything until it's assessed.
Storm chasers with cash prices and no certificates are how bad days get worse. Any legitimate outfit will happily show insurance - make them.
