Whatever the Tree Did, We've Handled It Before
Emergencies don't come in one shape. These are the calls we take at 2 PM and 2 AM alike:
Tree on a Car, Garage, or Fence
Crushed hood, caved shed roof, flattened fence line — we lift and remove the tree carefully so the insurance adjuster sees the damage the tree did, not damage the cleanup added.
Tree Blocking a Driveway or Road
Can't get out — or can't get home. Access-clearing is usually the fastest job we do: cut, clear a lane, and finish the full cleanup after.
Hanging & Cracked Limbs ("Widowmakers")
The limb that broke but didn't fall. It's not stable, it's not predictable, and it's directly over whatever's under it. Don't park there, don't work under it — call.
Storm-Leaning & Uprooting Trees
A tree that shifted in the storm — new lean, lifted root plate, bulging soil — is a removal on a countdown. We'd rather come tonight than after it finishes the job itself.
Trees on Power Lines
Important: if a tree is on a live line, call the utility (NYSEG/National Grid) and stay far away — lines can energize the whole tree. Once the utility makes it safe, we handle everything from there.
Tree Just Came Down? Do These Things First
Before we get there, a few minutes of caution prevents the real tragedies. In order:
-
Get everyone away from the tree.
People and pets out of the rooms under it if it's on the house, and well clear of it outside. Trees under tension shift without warning.
-
Check for power lines — from a distance.
If the tree touched, pulled, or is anywhere near a line, treat the whole tree and the ground around it as live. Call the utility first. Do not touch the tree, the line, or anything in contact with either.
-
Don't start cutting.
A fallen tree is loaded with tension and compression in ways that aren't visible. Chainsaw injuries spike after every storm, and they're almost all homeowners "just taking off a few branches."
-
Take photos — safely.
Wide shots and close-ups from safe ground. Your insurance company will want them, and so will we.
-
Call us.
(716) 456-8833, any hour. Tell us what fell, what it's on, and whether lines are involved — we'll tell you what happens next and when we'll be there.
What Emergency Tree Removal Costs — And When Insurance Pays
On cost.
Emergency work costs more than scheduled work — crews mobilized at night, in weather, on unstable trees. What sets the number: what the tree is on, how big it is, whether it can be reached by equipment or has to come off by hand, and how much is urgent now versus finishable in daylight. We'll give you the price before we start, even at 3 AM.
On insurance — the part that surprises people, in a good way.
When a tree falls on a covered structure (house, garage, fence), homeowner's insurance typically covers removal from the structure and the repair — minus your deductible. We work with these claims constantly:
- Photos and documentation of the damage before and during removal, formatted for your adjuster
- Itemized invoices that insurance companies accept without back-and-forth
- Honest scoping: the emergency part (off the structure, site safe) and the non-urgent part (the rest of the tree, the stump) split out, because some policies treat them differently
A tree that fell in the yard and hit nothing is usually not covered — worth knowing before you file. Either way, we'll tell you what we see so you can make the call.
The promise: price before work starts, in writing, even in an emergency. No storm-chaser surge pricing — we live here, and we'll still be here in July.
What Happens After You Call — Minute by Minute
-
Step 1
A person answers.
Not a voicemail, not a call center reading a script. You tell us what fell, what it's on, and whether power lines are involved. We tell you what to do until we arrive — and when that will be.
-
Step 2
We triage honestly.
Tree on a bedroom gets the crew out of bed. Tree across the back lawn hitting nothing can safely wait for first light — and waiting saves you the overnight rate. We'll tell you which one yours is.
-
Step 3
Make-safe first.
On arrival, the first job is stopping things from getting worse: stabilizing what's under tension, getting weight off the structure, securing the scene.
-
Step 4
Controlled removal.
Even at night, even in weather, the tree comes off in rigged, managed sections — speed never buys sloppiness when the saw is over your roof.
-
Step 5
Document and finish.
Photos for your insurance claim, the site left safe and accessible, and a plan for the non-urgent remainder — the rest of the tree, the stump, the full cleanup — scheduled for daylight at daylight prices.
Still Reading? If There's a Tree Where It Shouldn't Be — Just Call.

Emergency Tree Removal Questions — Answered Straight
We're based in Boston and run crews across southern Erie County, so normal response is fast — and during storm events we triage: trees on occupied structures first, access blockages second, everything else in order. When you call, we'll give you a real arrival window, not a "we'll try."
Yes. The line is live 24/7, 365, and a person answers — storms don't check the calendar, and neither does the crew.
If the tree fell on a covered structure — house, garage, attached deck, often fences — removal from the structure and repairs are typically covered minus your deductible. A tree down in the open yard usually isn't. We document everything for your claim either way and have worked with every major insurer in the area.
More than scheduled work, honestly — night crews and unstable trees are the reason. But you get the price before we start, in writing, and we split the truly urgent work from what can wait for daylight rates. No storm surge pricing, ever.
The utility — NYSEG or National Grid — and stay well away from the tree until they've made it safe. A tree touching a live line can energize everything it touches, including the ground around it. Once the line is dead or cleared, call us and we take it from there.
Maybe not — and we'll tell you so. If it's not threatening anything, waiting for a daylight appointment saves you the emergency rate. Call anyway: (716) 456-8833 — describing it costs nothing, and we'd rather you hear "that can wait" from us than guess wrong in either direction.
A Tree Emergency Doesn't Wait — Neither Do We
If you scrolled this far with a tree on your house, stop reading and call. If you're here planning ahead — save the number now, before the next lake-effect warning. The one thing every emergency caller tells us: they wished they'd had the number in their phone before they needed it.
