What To Do When a Tree Hits Your Home

Storm damage is stressful. We’ll assess the situation, explain the safest path forward, and get to work.

Here’s what to focus on first:

Make sure everyone is safe and avoid damaged areas
Stay clear of hanging limbs or unstable trees
Do not attempt removal yourself
Call a qualified emergency tree service as soon as possible
Text us photos for immediate assessment

Do Not Attempt DIY Removal

Attempting DIY removal can create safety risks. It may complicate or limit insurance-approved mitigation coverage. Emergency stabilization and documentation should be handled by a qualified, insured contractor.

We provide insurance-friendly emergency documentation and perform immediate emergency mitigation to prevent secondary damage, ensuring all photos and scopes are professionally prepared for claims when applicable.

Emergency Tree Removal Services

Our equipment and experience allow us to remove trees safely while minimizing additional damage to your property.

Trees fallen on homes or garages

Emergency Roof Tarping & Damage Mitigation

In the Pacific Northwest, rain often causes more damage than the tree itself.

When a roof is compromised, water intrusion can quickly lead to interior damage, mold, and costly repairs. When appropriate, we install professional-grade tarps to temporarily protect your home after a tree impact.

This helps:

Reduce ongoing water damage

Buy time until permanent repairs are made

Protect interior spaces and belongings

Tree removal is only part of emergency response protecting the structure matters just as much.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer 24/7 emergency tree removal?

Yes. During storm events, we respond to emergency situations involving trees on homes, structures, or access points. Availability can vary during severe weather, but emergency requests are prioritized based on safety and risk.

Can you remove a tree that is on my house or roof?

Yes. We regularly handle trees resting on homes, garages, and other structures. These situations often require specialized equipment and controlled removal techniques to prevent further damage.

Should I attempt to cut or remove the tree myself?c

No. Storm-damaged trees are often under extreme tension and can shift unexpectedly. Attempting DIY removal can result in serious injury, additional property damage, and may complicate insurance-approved mitigation. It’s best to leave emergency stabilization and removal to a qualified, insured professional.

Is emergency tree removal covered by insurance?

In many cases, yes — especially when a tree has damaged a covered structure or is actively threatening further damage. Coverage depends on your policy and circumstances. We can provide documentation and photos when applicable to support the claims process.

Do I need insurance approval before emergency work is done?

Not always. Emergency mitigation is often allowed to prevent additional damage. Waiting for approval in active failure situations can increase risk. We recommend documenting the damage immediately and addressing urgent hazards first.

How fast can you respond during a storm?

Response times depend on weather severity and call volume. Trees posing immediate risk to homes, occupied structures, or blocked access are prioritized. Texting photos helps us assess urgency and respond more efficiently.

What should I do right now if a tree has fallen or is threatening my property?

Stay clear of the tree and affected area
Do not cut, climb, or attempt to move the tree
Text us clear photos of the damage for immediate assessment

Do you work with cranes and heavy equipment?

Yes. We are crane-equipped and trained to handle complex emergency removals where traditional methods are unsafe or impractical. This allows for controlled removal and reduced secondary damage.

Do you provide emergency tarping or stabilization?

When appropriate, we can stabilize or tarp affected areas to help reduce water intrusion and secondary damage until permanent repairs can be made.

What areas do you serve for emergency response?

We provide emergency tree removal services throughout Portland and the surrounding metro area, including Clackamas County and nearby communities.

How do I get started?

Text photos of the damage to our emergency number. We’ll review the situation and advise on next steps as quickly as possible.

They cleaned up everything and it looks like it did before they started. I would highly recommend PDX Tree Service to anyone reading my review.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We just moved in five months ago, and the trees haven't been touched in 20+ years. Joshua and JP did an amazing job on the six BIG trees and out-of-control bush line alongside the house. Watching Joshua scramble around 50 feet in the air was something else. The trees actually look a lot healthier, and I got a big pile of firewood! Highly recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great jump by PDX Tree Service. Removed a very large Douglas Fir in a tight spot. Everything and everyone are all good. PDX came up on Chat GPT as one of the top companies for removing tall trees in tight spaces. I guess AI can be useful.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I got three bids to remove several dead cedar trees, and a neighbor wanted a large fir removed.  Josiah showed up on time and spent the time we needed to understand the process.  He addressed all our concerns about this precise crane assisted tree removal job that made the job quicker and safer with less impact. I chose PDX Tree Service (my neighbor did too) because of his experience and he was the only one that recommended a reasonably priced cable system on a larger section of my oak tree that if it broke off, would hit my neighbor’s house.  Great value add.  Sammy in the office was friendly in scheduling and the two climbers Jordan and Brig were very skilled.  They left my property cleaner (see pic) than when they got there, which I was not expecting but pleasantly surprised.  I’m very happy with the outcome.  There are a bunch of tree companies in the area so researching skilled/insured companies is a lot of work and thus the reason I’m adding this positive review to save someone else the trouble of endless researching companies.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was referred to PDX Tree Service to prune a tree for a solar install and I have become a fan of their work. I ended up adding a few other trees to the request while they were here. Grateful for the answers to my questions to help guide me on the scope of the project. I look forward to using them again in a few years! Update - 3 years later: This family business is still rocking it and super helpful for my arborist needs and continue to do great work as a team. This time around I am managing a more complicated project that needs timely execution to allow other teams to work in succession. It was smooth working with folks that are safety conscious, good note takers, considerate of job site challenges, and super at communicating throughout the process.
