If you’ve had strong winds come through your property or need clean up after a storm, you may face the sudden need for tree removal. When you’ve got a fallen tree or branches leaning on your property, your homeowner's insurance may cover the cost.
At Vital Tree Service, our team of tree removal experts has experience working with homeowners insurance companies. We’ll connect with your insurance agent to help you achieve the best result and minimize the expenses you pay out of pocket.
One of the most common tree removal services to be covered by homeowner’s insurance is emergency tree removal after a storm. If a tree simply falls in your backyard, you’ll probably be expected to handle the removal yourself. But if a tree is threatening or crashed into your home, this is a different matter entirely.
A tree falling on your home or a power line can be a serious hazard. It can also cause more problems if you don’t handle it quickly. We’ll work with your insurance company to quickly get a tree-related emergency under control so you don’t have to worry about additional damage to your home.
Another commonly covered situation occurs when a heavy branch breaks off a healthy tree during high winds or a storm. This damage can be especially costly when it breaks windows or causes damage to your roof.
Like a fallen tree, broken branches can pose an added safety risk to your home and property until they are repaired, so it’s important to act fast. While most homeowner’s insurance policies won’t cover simple debris removal, the removal may be covered if it causes property damage.
Mother Nature doesn’t care about property lines, and sometimes, a fallen tree or broken branch can end up damaging your neighbor’s home or garage. More often than not, your homeowner's insurance will cover damage to your neighbor’s property as long as the tree is deemed healthy.
We’ll be happy to help you maintain peace with your neighbors by working with you and your insurance to safely and efficiently remove the broken branch or fallen tree.
Unfortunately, most homeowners policies will avoid paying for any damage they deem was ultimately due to a homeowner's negligence. Most policies will hold homeowners liable for maintaining their trees.
If they believe a tree is already dead or damaged, they may not pay for its removal. Because an ounce of prevention is worth it, our team can help you prevent disaster before it hits by maintaining your trees and trimming dead branches.
We’ll ensure you understand the entire cost throughout the process, so you won’t be surprised by any expenses that insurance doesn’t cover. Our team will explain every factor involved in our rate, including the complexity of the job and the crew size required to remove the tree.
We use top-of-the-line equipment to ensure your trees receive the very best chance for long-lasting health. Bringing the right tools for the job also helps us keep your property and everyone who lives there safe.
When the unexpected hits, you need the reassurance of knowing you can expect professional, high-quality expertise. Our team of tree service experts takes the sting out of filing an insurance claim by educating you throughout the process, ensuring you receive the best service.
Whether you’re in need of 24-hour emergency service or you’ve got a large branch blocking access to your garage, we’re here to help. With our insurance experience, we’ll work with you to help you through this as painlessly as possible.
