If a tree is on your house right now
If a tree has just come down on your house, your car, or across your driveway, and everyone is safe, call or text our 24-hour emergency line at (770) 265-4267. Tell us what is down and where, and we will get to you.
First, though, safety. Get everyone away from the tree and from any power lines it may be touching, and treat every downed or sagging line as live. Do not try to move a large limb or climb on a fallen tree yourself; they are under tension and can shift without warning.
- Stay well clear of any tree or limb touching a power line, and call the utility.
- Keep people and pets out from under hung-up or leaning limbs until the crew arrives.
- If the house is badly damaged or a line is down, call 911 and the utility first.
How our storm response works
Storms in north Georgia bring down limbs and whole trees, usually onto the things they are closest to: roofs, cars, fences, and driveways. When that happens you do not want to wait days for a callback. Our emergency line takes calls and texts around the clock, so you can reach us the night it happens, not the following week.
When you reach us, we sort the truly urgent from the merely inconvenient. A tree through the roof or across the only way out gets stabilized first. A limb hung up over the yard that is not going anywhere can often wait for daylight and a safer, cheaper plan. We will tell you honestly which one you have.
What to do when a tree comes down
- Get everyone safe
People and pets first: away from the tree, the limbs, and any power lines, which you should always treat as live.
- Call the utility for any line
If a tree is into the wires or a line is down, call the power company and keep everyone back until they clear it.
- Call or text us
Reach our 24-hour line, describe what is down and where, and send a photo if you can do it safely.
- We stabilize the danger
We make the immediate hazard safe first, so nothing gets worse while the full cleanup is planned.
- Then the full cleanup
Once it is safe, we plan the removal and cleanup and can help you document it for insurance.
Making it safe before making it tidy
A tree that has failed is not the same as a tree we chose to take down. Limbs are bent and loaded, trunks are cracked, and a piece that looks stable can spring or roll the moment it is cut. That is why storm work is planned work, not fast work.
We take the pressure off in the right order, often lifting sections with the crane or bucket rather than climbing a trunk that is no longer sound. The first goal is simply to make the scene safe. Only then do we clear, cut, and haul, so the cleanup never adds a second accident to the first.
Storm damage we handle
The calls we get most after a north Georgia storm.
A tree on the house
A trunk or large limb through the roof, gutter, or wall, lifted off carefully, often with the crane.
Learn more →A blocked driveway
A tree across the only way in or out, cleared so you can get your cars and your life moving.
Hung-up and broken limbs
Snapped limbs lodged in the canopy, brought down safely instead of left waiting to fall.
Leaning and uprooted trees
A tree the storm has pushed over or partly uprooted, assessed and taken down before it finishes the job.
Trees on fences and sheds
Trees across fences, sheds, and outbuildings, removed without adding to the damage.
Split trunks and unions
A crown or trunk split by wind or lightning, evaluated and made safe.
Insurance and documentation
When a tree damages a structure, your homeowner's insurance often covers some of the removal and repair, though the details depend on your policy. We are not your insurer and we do not give legal or coverage advice, but we can help in practical ways: clear written estimates, and photos of the damage and the work before we start moving things.
Take your own photos before anyone touches the scene if it is safe to do so, and call your insurer early. Keeping a simple record of what fell, what it hit, and what it cost makes any claim easier.
- Photograph the damage from several angles before the cleanup begins, if it is safe.
- Ask us for a written estimate you can hand straight to your adjuster.
- Coverage varies by policy; confirm what yours includes with your own insurer.

Storm and emergency questions
What counts as an emergency?
A tree or large limb on your house, car, or power line, a tree blocking your only way out, or anything actively failing over people or property. If someone could be hurt or more damage is coming, call or text the 24-hour line. A limb down in the back corner of the yard that is not threatening anything can usually wait for a normal, cheaper daytime visit.
Do you really answer at night and on weekends?
Yes. The emergency line takes calls and texts 24 hours a day for genuine tree emergencies. For everything else, a message during regular hours gets you a free estimate on the normal schedule.
A tree is leaning on the power line. What do I do?
Stay away from it, keep everyone back, and call your power company, because lines into a tree are their responsibility and are dangerous. Once the utility has made the line safe, we can remove the tree. We coordinate with the power company on jobs where a tree is into the wires.
Will you help with my insurance claim?
We can give you a clear written estimate and photos of the damage and the work, which is what most adjusters want. We do not file the claim or advise on coverage, that is between you and your insurer, but we make the paperwork side as easy as we can.
Can the crane get a tree off my roof?
Often, yes, and it is usually the safest way. Lifting a tree straight up and off with the crane keeps weight and sawing off a damaged roof. Whether the crane fits depends on access, which we work out fast when you call.
