Storm damage can't wait. Call (708) 665-4874 now — we prioritize emergency calls.
Fast Response When a Storm Hits
Severe storms move through the Chicago suburbs every year, and they bring trees down with them. A limb through the roof, a tree across the driveway, a trunk leaning toward your house — these are emergencies, and they need a professional crew fast.
We offer emergency tree service throughout the southwest Chicago suburbs. When you call, you reach someone who can get a crew moving — not a voicemail.
What Counts as a Tree Emergency?
- A tree or large limb has fallen on your house, garage, or car
- A tree is leaning dangerously after a storm
- A fallen tree is blocking your driveway or road
- Limbs are tangled in or resting on power lines
- A cracked or split trunk threatens to fail
- Storm debris has made your property unsafe
If a tree is on or near power lines, call your utility company first, then call us. Never touch a tree that's in contact with a line.
What We Do When We Arrive
- Secure the scene. We assess what's dangerous and stabilize the situation — removing the immediate threat first.
- Clear access. Driveways, walkways, and roads get cleared so you can get in and out.
- Remove the damaged tree or limbs. Using professional rigging and equipment, even in tight or damaged conditions.
- Clean up. Storm debris is hauled away so you can focus on repairs, not the mess.
Why Call Professionals After a Storm
Storm-damaged trees are unpredictable. A partially fallen tree can shift without warning, a cracked trunk can fail under its own weight, and hung-up limbs can drop suddenly. This is exactly the kind of work that injures people who try to handle it themselves.
Our crews have the equipment — cranes, bucket trucks, heavy rigging — and the experience to take apart storm damage safely, so you're in professional hands.
Documenting Damage for Insurance
Take photos of the damage before and after cleanup if you can do so safely. We can provide documentation of the work performed, which many homeowners use when filing insurance claims. Ask us about it when you call.
What to Do While You Wait for the Crew
Once you've called, here's how to stay safe until we arrive:
- Keep everyone away from the damaged tree. Kids, pets, and curious neighbors — keep them clear.
- Don't park under or near damaged trees. Move vehicles if you can do so safely.
- Don't try to cut anything yourself. A tree under tension can snap back violently. Leave it for the crew.
- Take photos of the damage from a safe distance for your insurance records.
- If water is entering the house through a damaged roof, place buckets and tarps inside — but don't climb on the roof.
What Does Emergency Tree Service Cost?
Emergency work is priced based on the situation: the size of the tree, how it's positioned, what equipment is needed, and whether it's during normal hours or the middle of the night. Jobs that need a crane cost more than straightforward removals.
What we can promise: a clear price before we start non-emergency portions of the work, documentation for your insurance claim, and no surprise fees. Many homeowners recover part or all of the cost through their homeowners insurance when a tree has damaged a covered structure.
Preventing the Next Emergency
The best emergency is the one that never happens. After we handle the immediate damage, ask us to inspect your remaining trees. Preventive trimming — removing deadwood, reducing wind-catching canopy, addressing weak limbs — dramatically lowers the chance you'll be calling us at 2 a.m. after the next storm.
Don't Wait — Call Now
Every hour a damaged tree sits against your house is another hour of risk. The next wind gust could finish what the storm started.
