Emergency Tree Service

When a tree comes down,
we show up fast

Storms do not wait, and neither do we. Fast response for fallen trees, hanging limbs, and trees down on homes, fences, and driveways across the Triangle.

What this service is

Storm response, not a waiting list

Emergency tree service is exactly what it sounds like: fast response when a tree or limb has already failed, or is about to. A trunk on the roof, a limb through the fence, a tree across the driveway, or a broken branch hanging over the spot where your kids play. The job is to make the property safe first, then clear the damage.

North Carolina weather does not schedule itself around business hours. Summer thunderstorms, ice, and the remnants of tropical systems all roll through the Raleigh area, and the big mature oaks and pines that make this the City of Oaks are exactly the trees that cause real damage when they fail. When that happens at your house, waiting days for help is not an option.

We respond fast across Raleigh, NC and surrounding Wake County, assess the hazard, and get the dangerous weight off your home or out of your way under control, not with guesswork.

How we work

How an emergency call plays out

01

You Call, We Move

Call (919) 675-9756 and tell us what happened. We will tell you what to stay away from and get a crew headed your way.

02

Hazard Assessment

On site we assess what the tree is resting on, what is under tension, and the safest order to take the weight off.

03

Make It Safe

We lift and rig the tree off your home, vehicle, or driveway under control, using a crane when the weight calls for it.

04

Document and Clean Up

We provide insurance friendly documentation of the damage and the work, then clear the debris and leave the site clean.

Pricing

What affects the cost

Emergency work is priced by what it takes to make your property safe. The main factors:

  • What the tree landed on. Lifting a trunk off a roof without causing more damage is slower, more technical work than clearing a tree off open lawn.
  • Size and weight. Big storm downed trees often need crane time and heavy rigging.
  • Tension and instability. Storm damaged wood is loaded in ways that make every cut matter, which takes an experienced crew.
  • Access and conditions. Wet ground, darkness, and blocked routes all change how the job has to be done.
  • Cleanup scope. Whether you need everything hauled off right away or just the hazard cleared first.

We tell you the price before the work starts, even on an emergency call, so there are no surprises on top of an already bad day.

Emergency questions

If a tree is on your home right now, skip the reading and call us.

Call (919) 675-9756

Get everyone away from the tree and out of the rooms under it, and stay clear of any downed power lines. Then call us at (919) 675-9756. We will walk you through it on the phone, get a crew moving, and make the property safe before anything else.

We provide insurance friendly documentation of the damage and the work, which makes your claim much easier to file. Take your own photos too before anything is moved if it is safe to do so.

A tree or large limb on your home, vehicle, fence, or power service, a trunk split or leaning after a storm, a blocked driveway or road, or a big limb hanging broken over an area people use. If you are not sure, call and describe it. We will tell you straight whether it can wait.
