Hurricane Preparedness, Storm Damage, & Emergencies
In the event of an emergency such as a tree on a house, car, shed or other structure, JC TREE AND STUMP LLC offers 24-hour emergency tree service for storm damage. A tree falling onto a house is a very common occurrence in a hurricane, especially in Florida. When brute force winds come along with wet saturated grounds, trees are bound to fall over. Uprooted trees can cause serious damage.
The first thing a resident should do when a tree falls onto their house, is make sure everyone in the house and around is safe. Trees can come crashing down and smash into houses landing right on the interior floor if the tree is large enough. Next, a call to the insurance company to inform them of what happened is necessary. By the way, this is one reason why residents have homeowners’ insurance – to cover major damage to their homes such as storm damage. Call a tree company right away to receive a free estimate to remove the storm damaged tree from the house. JC TREE AND STUMP LLC also specializes in emergency tree service and has experienced personnel to handle dangerous work.
Upon receiving an emergency tree removal phone call, JC TREE AND STUMP LLC. should have an estimator at your door within the hour. The estimator will be able to determine the nature of the job and what it will take to remove the storm damaged tree.
Emergency tree service is very dangerous, especially in slick and wet conditions just after or during a storm. Here at JC TREE AND STUMP LLC we do not recommend taking trees off house when it's dark outside. We have been doing this for too long and understand that too many things can go wrong in the dark – even with high density spotlights. The best thing to do is receive the estimate right away and contract the work to be performed the very next morning early.
Usually, if rain is pouring into the house, homeowners can find ways to decrease or stop the flooding into the house. It is also not safe to tarp a roof in wet, rainy conditions in the dark. Our estimators will go over the details of the emergency job with you and possibly recommend staying in a hotel for the night, or multiple nights if the damage is severe. Insurance usually covers these costs.

What does the insurance company usually cover?
Insurance companies will cover trees that fall onto a structure and remove the tree back to the uprooted root ball to the property line. Everything is done within property line boundaries. The insurance companies will request that the emergency tree service estimate be itemized to separate the cost of removing the tree from the house and hauling the wood. If a tree does not hit a structure at all, then the insurance company generally does not get involved in the process and is not responsible for footing the bill. It really depends on the insurance company and policy a homeowner has on their dwelling.
