Why the crane matters
When a big tree is leaning over your roof, felling it is the risky move. We fly it out in sections — controlled, piece by piece — and set it down where nothing gets hurt. Most outfits in the area can't do that. It's why we get the calls nobody else will take.
Sectional removal — lifted out, not dropped
How it works
A real person, day or night. Tell us what the tree's doing — down, dying, leaning, or just in the way. If it's on a wire, stay back and tell us that first.
Often within the hour when we're already in the area. You get a price before any saw starts. No surprise numbers.
Wood and debris gone, yard raked clean. Storm job? We photograph the damage and send documentation your insurer will accept.
Insurance claim guide
Homeowner's insurance usually covers storm tree damage — and expects you to prevent further damage while the claim is open. Here's how it goes. We supply the estimates, photos, invoices, and documentation your adjuster needs.
Report the damage as soon as you can. Have your policy number, the property address, and a quick description of what came down.
Before any cleanup: clear photos and video of fallen trees, roof and structure damage, fences, sheds, vehicles — anything the storm touched.
Policies expect reasonable steps — emergency removal, tarping, mitigation — and those costs are often covered. Keep every receipt.
The insurer sends an adjuster to assess the damage. We back your claim with estimates, photos, and detailed invoices they'll accept.
Once the claim is reviewed, repairs begin. A tree on a structure may need immediate mitigation before inspection — that's the call we answer at any hour.

Northwest Indiana
Every removal makes a mountain of wood. Rather than dump it, we'll drop a load at your place — fresh-cut rounds and mixed lengths, straight off the job. It comes green and unsplit: split it, stack it, and it's next winter's fire.

If a storm put a tree on a structure, often yes — that's between you and your carrier, but we make the claim easy: we photograph the damage and send documentation your insurer will accept. See the full claim guide.
Every tree is different — size, condition, and how close it stands to your house, lines, or fence all move the number. Estimates are free, and you get the exact price before any saw starts.
Fully licensed, bonded, and insured, with ISA-certified arborists. Big timber over structures comes down by crane, in sections — not dropped and hoped for.
Yes. Brush is chipped on site, wood and debris are hauled off, stumps grind below grade, and your yard gets raked before we roll out.
Completely real. Fresh-cut mixed wood from our removal jobs, cut to length and delivered free to your home, business, or property anywhere in Northwest Indiana. Fair warning: it comes green and unsplit, straight off the job — you'll want a splitter and a season to dry it. Text "WOOD" to 219-427-2476.
