Insurance tip

Take photos first

If it's safe, take photos of the damage from several angles before anything is moved. Your insurance company will want to see them.

Will my homeowner's insurance cover tree removal?

It often does when a tree damages your house or another covered structure, but every policy is different. Call your insurance company to ask about your coverage.

Can you remove a tree from my roof without more damage?

That's what our bucket truck and rigging are for. Pieces are cut and lowered with control instead of dropped.

What should I do while I wait?

Keep everyone away from the damaged area, stay clear of any power lines and take photos if it's safe.

Is the emergency line different from your regular number?

Yes. For storm damage and emergencies, call 636-352-5411. For estimates and regular work, call or text 636-724-6675.
