24/7 Emergency Tree Removal

24-Hour Emergency Tree Removal — Metro Atlanta

Q: How fast can you respond to a tree on my house?

Inside the I-285 perimeter, our average response time for tree-on-structure emergencies is under 90 minutes — including overnight and weekend calls. Outside the perimeter, response averages under 2 hours.

Q: Do you really answer the phone at 2 am?

Yes. We are open 24/7 for emergencies and our after-hours line connects directly to a live person, not a voicemail or callback queue. If your tree is on a structure or across a driveway right now, call.

Q: Will my homeowner's insurance cover emergency tree removal?

Most homeowner's policies cover tree-on-structure removal up to a per-tree cap (commonly $500-$1,500 per tree) when the tree damaged a covered structure. We document the work to the carrier's specs and coordinate with your adjuster directly so you can recover what your policy entitles you to. Coverage details vary by carrier and policy — we will help you understand your specific situation.

Q: What if there are power lines involved?

We coordinate with Georgia Power (or your utility) for any tree-on-line situation. We do not cut energized lines and we do not cut trees touching energized lines until the utility has secured the area. Safety first, every time.

Q: How much does emergency tree removal cost?

Emergency tree-on-house removal typically runs $1,200-$6,500+ depending on tree size, complexity of the work, and whether crane access is required. Most of this cost is recoverable through homeowner's insurance when the tree damaged a covered structure. We will quote on-site before any work beyond make-safe.

Tree on your house at 11 pm. Tree blocking your driveway after a storm. Branch through your windshield. We answer the phone any hour, and our average emergency response inside the I-285 perimeter is under 90 minutes. Beyond just getting the tree off the structure, we deliver a same-visit insurance documentation packet that meets the specs of every major homeowner's insurance carrier — because the 72-hour claim-filing window starts the moment the tree falls.
