The first 24 hours, with the gear it takes
After a nor’easter, an ice storm, or a summer microburst, the first 24 hours are what keep a damaged tree from turning into a much bigger insurance claim. The catch is that everyone calls at once, and the storm jobs that matter most are the ones a lot of crews aren’t equipped for: a pine driven through a roof line, a maple hung up on the power line, a split oak still loaded and ready to barber-chair.
We come with crane, rigging, and bucket trucks, sized for whatever the storm left behind, from a single limb across a driveway to a tree on a house. The same crew that does our technical removal the rest of the year is the crew you get after a storm, with a climber-owner on the rope instead of a storm-chaser passing through from out of state. That’s part of why our storm damage cleanup holds a 5.0 across 119 Google reviews and an A+ with the BBB.
Photos for the adjuster, coordination with CMP
Every job gets photographed at arrival and again when we’re done, with debris volume and species noted, so a homeowner’s claim doesn’t stall on missing paperwork. We work directly with property managers and adjusters when that’s what the policy needs.
Where a line is involved we coordinate with the utility instead of working hot. If a situation needs CMP, we’ll tell you and stay on site until the line is cleared. For an active hazard to people, a structure, or a road, our 24-hour emergency line is answered every day of the year.
Local towns first, and the wood stays here
When the weather turns, we route our own towns first: Waterville, Winslow, Oakland, Fairfield, and the roads we already know. Keeping a tight radius is what lets us do that during active weather, so you get short drive times and faster cleanup instead of waiting behind a queue three counties wide.
True emergencies we handle around the clock; non-urgent debris clearing usually falls within a day or two once the storm has passed. We stage material for chipping or firewood rather than leaving piles in your yard, and usable wood goes to the community woodshed as free firewood for any neighbor who needs it. We’re a licensed, insured, climber-owned crew, and a workers’ comp and liability certificate is on request.
