24/7 · Insurance Documented
Tree on the house at 2am, limb through the fence, driveway blocked before work — call. We stabilize, remove, tarp-coordinate, and document everything your insurance adjuster will ask for.
A tree on a structure is not a static object — it's a load still settling, often spring-tensioned in ways that punish untrained cutting. The right sequence: keep everyone out from under it, call us, and let a rigged crew take the weight off in controlled lifts, smallest piece first. We work storm scenes in the order that protects the structure from further damage, then get the opening covered and the debris staged for documented removal.
For your insurance claim: photograph before we touch anything (we do too), then we provide itemized invoices separating structure-related removal from general cleanup — the split adjusters actually reimburse against. Tree-on-structure removal is typically covered under homeowner's policies; we've walked hundreds of Fairfield County claims through smoothly.
Emergency pricing is scoped honestly by crane/rigging needs and hours — typically from around $1,000 for straightforward structure lifts. You'll have the number before work starts, even at 2am.
United Illuminating first if any line is down or the service drop is torn off — nothing near a line gets touched until it's confirmed dead. Then us: we coordinate with UI's timeline constantly and take the tree the moment it's safe.
Generally their insurance covers their structure regardless of whose trunk it was (barring documented negligence). Practically: both of you call your carriers, we remove and paper it properly for both files, and the fence stays friendlier than the internet predicts.
Yes — access-first triage is normal storm work. We clear the drive, stabilize what's hanging, and schedule the full removal in daylight when it's cheaper.
