Trees do not fail on a schedule. A saturated root plate lets go in the middle of the night, a limb splits out of an oak in an afternoon thunderstorm, and suddenly something heavy is hanging over a bedroom.
We answer the phone around the clock and we come out for the jobs that genuinely cannot wait for morning.
What the job includes
- Live answer 24 hours a day, seven days a week
- Trees off houses, garages, vehicles and fences
- Hangers and split limbs taken down before they drop
- Emergency access clearing
- Temporary make-safe when a full removal has to wait for daylight
What counts as an emergency
A tree on a structure. A limb hanging over a driveway, walkway or bedroom. A trunk that has split, or a root plate that has visibly lifted. Anything blocking your only way out. A tree that leans a little more than it used to, on a clear day, is a call we would rather take in the morning, and it will cost you less.
Power lines
If a tree is on the primary service line, that is TECO's line and TECO's job. Call them, and stay well clear. If it is the service drop to your own house, that is generally the homeowner's side. We will tell you which one you are looking at when you describe it, before anybody drives out.
What after-hours work costs
Night and holiday call-outs cost more than scheduled daytime work, because of what it takes to put a crew on the road at 3am. We tell you that up front. What does not happen is a number that changes when we see the house or hear that it is going through insurance.
