Jacksonville emergency tree service
When a water oak splits at 2 a.m. and half of it is on your roof, the order of operations matters: get everyone out of that part of the house, stay away from any downed line, call JEA if wires are involved, then call us. We stabilize the tree, tarp the opening, clear access, and document the damage before anything is moved — because your adjuster will want photos of how it landed.
Call (904) 496-7261 any hour. We answer 24/7 for trees on homes, blocked driveways, and storm damage in Jacksonville, and we photograph and document everything for your insurance claim.

Trees through roofs, carports, and screen enclosures. Trunks across driveways and neighborhood streets. Limbs hanging over a bedroom after a thunderstorm. Uprooted pines leaning into a house that have not finished falling yet. Post-hurricane debris clearing so your street is passable. If it cannot safely wait until morning, it is an emergency call and we treat it as one.
Florida carriers generally cover tree removal when the tree strikes an insured structure, and generally do not when it simply falls in the yard. Either way, the claim rides on evidence. Before we cut, we photograph the point of impact, the failure at the trunk or root plate, and the surrounding damage, then give you an itemized invoice written the way adjusters expect. Homeowners who skip that step routinely get paid less.
After a named storm, every crew in Northeast Florida is booked and out-of-state trucks flood in — some legitimate, many not. Our crews are local, licensed, and insured, and we work our own service area rather than chasing storms. Before you hand anyone money in a storm week, ask for the certificate of insurance and a Florida address. We will show you both without being asked.
Emergency work costs more than scheduled work because a crew, a truck, and lighting come out at night. We tell you the number before we start, and when the loss is insured we bill it the way your adjuster needs to see it.
| Job | Typical range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| After-hours access clearing | $400 – $900 | Cut and drag to reopen a driveway or street |
| Tree off a roof or structure | $1,500 – $5,000+ | Rigged or crane-assisted, often insurance-covered |
| Hazard stabilization only | $300 – $800 | Make safe tonight, full removal scheduled after |
| Post-storm cleanup | Quoted on site | Priced honestly, no storm-week gouging |
Yes. Call (904) 496-7261 any hour, any day. During active storms our dispatch stays staffed and we work by severity — structures and blocked access first.
Get everyone out of that part of the house. If wires are down or touching the tree, stay far back and call JEA and 911. Then call us. Do not climb on the roof or try to cut anything yourself.
Usually when the tree hit an insured structure such as your home, garage, or fence. A tree that fell only in the yard is typically not covered. We document everything so your claim has the evidence it needs.
For most Jacksonville addresses we are on site within a couple of hours on a normal night. After a hurricane, response depends on road access and call volume, and we triage by danger.
Yes. Once the tree is off and the area is safe we can tarp the opening as a temporary measure to keep rain out until your roofer gets there.
