First steps after storm damage
- Check for downed power lines from a safe distance; call the utility or emergency services first if lines are involved.
- Take photos for insurance before cleanup when it is safe to do so.
- Keep people away from cracked, leaning, or hanging limbs.
- Separate urgent hazards from normal debris cleanup so the quote is clearer.
Information to include in a request
- City and neighborhood or cross-street area.
- Whether the tree is on a house, vehicle, driveway, fence, or open yard.
- Approximate tree size and whether access is blocked.
- Whether you need removal, trimming, debris haul-off, or stump grinding.
