Storm Damage & Fallen Tree Cleanup

Lake Erie storms come in fast. When a tree or a big limb ends up where it shouldn't be, call us — we'll make the site safe first, then clean everything up properly.

How we do it

Storm Damage Cleanup, done carefully

Wind storms, summer thunderstorms and heavy wet snow bring down more trees in Northeast Ohio than anything else. After a storm, our first job is safety: we look for broken 'hangers' still stuck in the canopy, trees under tension, and anything resting on a roof or a vehicle. If a tree is touching a power line, stay away and call your electric utility first — we'll coordinate with them before we work.

Once it's safe, we carefully lift or cut the tree off the structure, tarp any roof openings if needed, then cut up and chip the debris. We take photos throughout the job and provide an itemized invoice that you can send to your homeowner's insurance company. We don't negotiate claims for you, but we're glad to talk with your adjuster about what was done.

We also do pre-storm work: removing dead limbs over the house, thinning dense canopies that catch wind, and installing cables and braces in valuable trees with weak forks. A few hundred dollars of prevention can save a few thousand dollars of repairs.

FAQ

Storm Damage Cleanup questions

Will my insurance pay for tree removal?

Many homeowner's policies cover removal of a tree that fell on an insured structure such as your house or garage, usually up to a set limit. Trees that fall in the yard without hitting anything often aren't covered. Check your policy or ask your agent — we'll give you the documentation either way.

A tree is on a power line. Can you remove it?

Stay at least 30 feet away and call your electric utility (in our area that's usually FirstEnergy / The Illuminating Company). Only utility-qualified crews may work within 10 feet of energized lines. Once the line is de-energized or cleared, we can handle the rest.

How quickly can you come out?

During widespread storms we prioritize trees on homes and blocked driveways. Call or text us with photos and your address; we'll give you an honest time estimate rather than an empty promise.
