Emergency Tree Removal Services for Storm and Fallen Trees
Request an estimate from local providers
A tree on the roof, across the driveway or leaning over the house is stressful, especially if you have never hired a tree provider before. Mayshooting Tree Service is a referral service. It explains the steps in plain order and connects your request with independent providers in our network.
The providers do the work, not Mayshooting Tree Service. Many providers can respond quickly to urgent jobs, but availability varies, so Request a callback to check provider availability. You can ask for quotes in writing, compare them at your own pace, and decide with no obligation. This page covers emergency tree removal, storm tree clearance and tree falling service, listed from most urgent to least urgent.
Tree Down? Check Safety First
A fallen or split tree can still shift. Treat it with care. Do these steps in order.
- First, move everyone away from the tree and any hanging limbs.
- Next, keep children and pets indoors.
- Then check for downed lines, a gas smell or damage to the house.
- Last, take photos from a safe distance.
First, Look Up
Before you go outside, scan the crown from a window. Broken limbs can hang by a thin strip of bark. A gust or a small bump can drop them. Stay out from under any tree that looks cracked or leaning.
Power Lines Change the Plan
If a tree touches a line, stay back and treat the tree as live. Do not touch it, move it or drive over it. Contact your utility or local emergency services first. A tree provider can only start once the line is made safe.
What Counts as an Urgent Tree Problem
Not every tree problem is an emergency. Sort yours into one of two groups.
Treat as urgent
- A tree or large limb resting on a house, garage or car
- A tree blocking the only way out of your driveway
- A trunk that has split, with a lean that is getting worse
- A tree pulled partly out of the ground near the home
Can wait a short time
- A large limb down in the yard, away from the house
- A dead tree that looks weak but has not moved
- A fence or shed with light branch damage
How Storm and Fallen Tree Removal Works
Here is the usual order of a job.
- You send a request with a few photos and a short note.
- Providers in our network review it.
- A provider may visit, or give a rough range from photos.
- You receive a quote in writing.
- You choose a provider and set a time.
- The provider cuts, clears and hauls away the tree.
Big trunks over a roof may need a crane or careful rigging. That takes planning, so ask how the provider will protect the house.
Compare, Then Decide
Stress pushes people to say yes fast. You do not have to. Ask two or three providers for a quote and lay them side by side. There is no obligation to accept any of them.
What a Written Quote Should Show
- The exact work: cutting, hauling, and cleanup of small debris
- Whether stump grinding is included or priced apart
- The total price and how it is paid
- Any extra charge for cranes or difficult access
- A start window, even a rough one
Working With Your Insurance
Some policies may cover sudden damage from a fallen tree. Check your policy for the details and the deductible. Providers can often help document damage for a claim with photos and a written invoice. Keep every receipt. Your insurer makes the final call, not the provider and not Mayshooting Tree Service.
Protect the Property While You Wait
If a roof has an opening, a provider or roofer may be able to place a temporary cover. Ask about this when you request quotes. Do not climb on a damaged roof yourself.
After a Big Storm: What to Expect
When many homes are hit at once, providers get busy. Waits can grow. Urgent jobs, like a tree on a house, are usually handled first. Roadside cleanup and storm tree clearance in the yard often come later. Request a callback to check provider availability.
Wet Soil and Winter Rain Events
After heavy winter rain, soft ground can let a tree tip over roots and all. Trucks and equipment may need extra care on wet lawns. Expect some yard marks and ask how the provider will limit them.
Preventing the Next Storm Problem
A little checking now can save a hard night later.
- Look for dead limbs, cracks and mushrooms near the base.
- Watch trees that lean toward the roof of a ranch home or bungalow.
- Keep branches trimmed back from the house and lines.
- After dry seasons, note trees that look stressed or thin.
Ask a provider to inspect any tree you worry about before the next storm.
Questions to Ask the Provider
- Is the quote in writing and itemized?
- Do you carry insurance for property damage and for workers?
- How will you protect the roof, fence and lawn?
- Is cleanup and hauling part of the price?
- When could you start?
Not Sure It Is an Emergency?
Send a request with photos anyway. A provider can tell you if the tree can wait, and you can compare options calmly.
