Storm Damage Tree Removal
Dealing with trees downed by a storm requires the right equipment and experience to prevent further damage. Having trained professionals make all the difference between having the job done right and incurring more destruction when an inexperienced company doesn’t follow proper procedures.
All our employees receive training in proper safety procedures as we’re not only concerned about our crews, but also your family and property. Standard procedures include wearing appropriate personal protection equipment, state of the art to lower large limbs and placing safety devices to control pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
Emergency Tree Services and Insurance
In many cases, your homeowner’s insurance will cover most or all of any emergency tree service costs. We’re always happy to work as close as we can with you and your insurance company to facilitate a smooth and easy process.
Of course, not every insurance policy is the same, so it’s always a good idea to talk to your insurance agent and refrain from moving anything until a tree-care professional arrives.

Expert Tree Removal
Our certified arborists are experienced in all types of tree removal situations. Whole trees or large branches can end up in some unexpected places, like pools, hot tubs, and parked cars. It’s fairly common for trees to knock down fences, which can cause issues with neighbors and make it impossible for you to let your dogs out.
The professionals at General Tree can handle even the most complicated and dangerous Portland tree removals. So no matter the type of tree emergency you’re experiencing, give us a call today for fast, friendly, and affordable service.
We strive to make the situation as stress-free as possible. Upon arrival, we’ll make a quick assessment and take care of any immediate dangers to prevent further damage.
After careful evaluation, we’ll explain what needs to be done and if presenting multiple options, will explain the pros and cons of each. Our goal is to give you all of the critical information so you can make the best choice.
Tree Care to Prevent Emergencies
After a storm rolls through and you’ve assessed the damage, it’s not uncommon to notice trees or branches that may pose a future threat. The fact is that prevention can help prevent damage the next time you experience a storm.
But it’s not always easy to tell which trees will recover and which ones need to be dealt with before they cause problems. The arborists at General Tree can help. In fact, one of the things our trained employees do when they show up at a property is to visually inspect all the trees, not just the ones that have blown over or split.
If our employees notice any trees that may cause future threats, they will discuss all of your options after they’ve dealt with your current tree emergency. This way, when we leave, you will have the peace of mind you deserve knowing that your home and property are under the best care possible. But you don’t have to wait until an emergency falls in your lap to give us a call. We’re happy to help answer any questions you may have about trees or landscaping, and we’re just a phone call away.
Tips When Trees Fall In Your Yard
- Don’t try to move it yourself; call a tree company as they know how to safely deal with it.
- If the tree hit a power line, do not go near it. Call the power company and report the incident.
- For insurance purposes, you will want to take photos of the damage
