Emergency Tree & Storm Damage Service in Charlotte, NC
24/7 storm response — trees off houses, driveways & power lines across the Charlotte metro.
Service Overview
Storm Damage & Emergency Tree Work tailored to your property
When a thunderstorm rolls through the Charlotte metro and drops a 70-foot oak across your roof at 2 AM, you need a real tree crew on the phone — not a voicemail. We run 24/7 emergency response for storm-related tree damage across Charlotte, Huntersville, Cornelius, Mooresville, Davidson, Matthews, Mint Hill, Fort Mill, and Tega Cay, with insured climbers, bucket trucks, and crane support on standby during major weather events.
Trees on houses, trees on cars, trees blocking driveways, splits over playgrounds, hangers in the canopy after the wind dies down — we triage by danger, document everything for your homeowner's insurance, and get crews on-site as fast as conditions allow. After hurricane remnants, ice storms, and severe summer thunderstorms we extend hours and bring in additional equipment.

Who it's for
Homeowners with a tree on the house
Roof, garage, deck, fence, or vehicle — we get there as fast as we can, document the damage for insurance, tarp what we can, and remove the tree without making the damage worse.
Properties with blocked access
Tree across the driveway, blocking the road, or down on the front walk — cleared and chipped so you can get in and out, with full removal scheduled if needed.
HOAs & commercial properties
Common-area cleanup, downed trees in parking lots, hangers over walkways — coordinated response so your property is safe and accessible the next morning.
How we scope your project
Every property is different, so every quote is too. Here's the general path we take from first call to finished work — adjusted to fit the size, complexity, and goals of your specific project.
1. Call & triage
Call us, send photos if it's safe to do so, and we'll triage. Active danger (tree on structure, blocking egress, near power lines) gets priority dispatch.
2. On-site assessment & documentation
Crew arrives, assesses the safest removal sequence, and documents the damage with photos and notes you can hand directly to your insurance adjuster.
3. Safe removal
Rigging, bucket, or crane work to lift the tree off the structure in pieces — never just dropped. We coordinate with utilities if power lines are involved.
4. Cleanup & follow-up
Brush chipped, debris hauled off, work area raked clean. We can also tarp damaged roof areas as a temporary protection measure until your contractor can repair.

Frequently asked questions
What do I do if a tree is on my house right now?+
First, get everyone out of the affected rooms and call us. Don't go on the roof. If power lines are involved, stay clear and call Duke Energy too. Take photos from a safe distance for insurance, and we'll coordinate the rest.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover emergency tree removal?+
If the tree damaged a covered structure (house, garage, fence), most policies cover removal as part of the claim — typically up to $500–$1,000 per tree. We document everything you need for the adjuster. Trees that fall in the yard without hitting a structure are usually not covered.
How fast can you get there?+
During normal conditions, often the same day or within 24 hours for active emergencies. After major storms with metro-wide damage, response can be 24–72 hours depending on triage and equipment availability — we always lead with the most dangerous calls first.
Do you handle trees touching power lines?+
Trees on primary power lines are Duke Energy's responsibility — we don't touch energized lines. We handle everything else: trees on service drops to the house (after coordinating with the utility), trees on structures, and full cleanup once the area is safe.
