Day Storm Damage Response Goal
If a Storm Left It Behind, We'll Deal With It
19 years of Northeast Ohio storms means we've seen every situation. Here's what we respond to around the clock.
Tree on Your Roof
A tree through or against your home is a structural emergency. We respond fast — assess the situation, stabilize if needed, and remove safely without adding to the damage.
🚨 Highest PriorityTree on Vehicle or Driveway
Blocked in with a tree on your car or across your driveway? Can't leave for work in the morning? We get there and clear it — same day, any day.
Tree Near Power Lines
A tree tangled in or hanging over power lines is dangerous and requires careful removal. We coordinate with the utility company and handle the tree portion safely.
Storm-Damaged Hanging Limbs
"Widow makers" — large broken branches hanging overhead — are a serious hazard. If a limb didn't come all the way down, that doesn't mean it's safe. We remove them before they fall.
Uprooted Trees
A fully uprooted tree is unstable and can shift without warning. We assess, stabilize, and remove — protecting your property and the structures around it.
Trees Threatening Structures
Tree leaning toward your garage, fence, shed, or neighbor's property after the storm? Don't wait for the next wind gust. We get there and remove the risk before it becomes damage.
Storm Just Hit. Here's What to Do.
While you're waiting for us to arrive, a few steps will keep you safe and help your insurance claim go smoothly.
- 1
Call us first — (440) 552-5140
Get on our schedule immediately. Emergency calls are dispatched in priority order. The sooner you call, the sooner we get there.
- 2
Stay away from the tree and downed lines
Don't approach a tree that's on your roof, touching wires, or still unstable. Keep kids and pets inside. Let us assess before you get close.
- 3
Document the damage with photos
From a safe distance, take photos before anything is moved. Your insurance company will want this documentation. Don't remove debris before you've photographed it.
- 4
Call your insurance company
Storm-related tree damage is typically covered under homeowners insurance. Open a claim early — they may ask us for documentation of the work performed.
- 5
Wait for our crew — don't attempt removal yourself
Storm-damaged trees are unpredictable. Chainsaw work on unstable, tension-loaded wood is extremely dangerous without training. Wait for us.
What Not to Do
- Don't touch a tree that's in contact with power lines — treat it as live until utility confirms otherwise
- Don't go on your roof with a tree on it — the structural integrity may be compromised
- Don't use a chainsaw on a tree under tension — it can kick back violently or spring in unexpected directions
- Don't move debris before photographing it for insurance documentation
- Don't park under or near other storm-damaged trees until they've been assessed
- Don't hire an uninsured crew in a hurry — if something goes wrong, the liability falls on you

When It Happened at 2 AM, We Were There
"Called on a Saturday night after a storm took a branch down on our roof. They were there by 8 AM Sunday. Professional, fast, and left our yard cleaner than before the storm. Couldn't ask for more."
"Tornado warning took out a massive oak across our driveway at 11 PM. I figured we'd be stuck until Monday. Schade's picked up immediately and had a crew here before midnight. Unbelievable service."
"Had a huge limb hanging by a thread over my kids' swing set after a bad storm. Called Schade's first thing in the morning — they came out same day and took care of it. Exactly who you want in a situation like that."
We'll Help You Document It for Your Insurance Claim
Storm-related tree damage is typically covered under standard homeowners insurance policies. If a tree falls on a structure — your roof, garage, fence, or car — your insurance company will want documentation of the damage and the removal work.
We're experienced working alongside insurance claims. We can provide detailed invoices, photographs, and documentation of work performed that your adjuster may need.
- Detailed invoice for all work performed (required by most adjusters)
- Proof of insurance available on request before work begins
- Photo documentation of the tree and damage on arrival
- We've worked with all major insurance carriers in Northeast Ohio
- Questions about your claim? We're happy to walk you through what to document
Never Hire an Uninsured Crew After a Storm
After a bad storm, unlicensed crews can show up door-to-door offering to work cheap. If something goes wrong — injury, additional property damage — an uninsured contractor means you're liable. Protect yourself.

Answers When You Need Them Most
Do you really answer 24/7 for storm emergencies in North Royalton and Cleveland?
Yes — we take emergency tree service calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. That includes middle of the night, weekends, and holidays. Call (440) 552-5140 and a person will answer. We prioritize life-safety situations — tree on a roof or blocking access — and dispatch as quickly as possible.
How fast can you respond to storm damage in the Cleveland area?
Response time depends on active emergency volume — after a major storm event, we're often responding to multiple situations simultaneously and triage based on severity. In normal conditions, we aim for same-day response. Life-safety emergencies (tree on structure, blocked emergency exit) go to the front of the queue. Call us right away to get on the schedule — the earlier you call, the faster we respond.
Does homeowners insurance cover emergency tree removal near me?
In most cases, yes — if a tree falls and damages a covered structure (your home, garage, fence), homeowners insurance typically covers the removal cost up to policy limits. If a tree falls in your yard without hitting anything, coverage is less certain and policy-dependent. Document everything before cleanup begins, call your insurance company to open a claim, and we can provide the detailed invoice your adjuster will need. We're experienced working with all major carriers in Northeast Ohio.
What should I do if a tree is touching my power lines after a storm?
Treat it as live until confirmed otherwise. Don't approach the tree, don't touch anything that's touching the tree, and keep everyone away from the area. Call your utility company (FirstEnergy for most of Northeast Ohio) to report the hazard — they handle the line side of the situation. Call us as well — once the utility has addressed the line issue or confirmed lines are de-energized, we handle the tree removal safely. Never let an untrained crew work on a tree that's been in contact with power lines.
How much does emergency tree removal cost near me after a storm?
Emergency work is priced based on the situation — tree size, location, hazards involved, time of day, and scope of work. We won't quote a price without seeing the actual situation. What we can tell you: we don't leave until the job is done and the debris is cleaned up, and you know the price before we start. If insurance is involved, we'll provide the documentation your adjuster needs. Call us and we'll give you an honest assessment when we arrive.
Can I try to remove storm debris myself before you arrive?
We strongly advise against it. Storm-damaged trees are under unpredictable tension — wood that looks stable can snap, kick back, or spring suddenly when cut. Even experienced people get injured. Additionally, if insurance is involved, you'll want to document the full damage before anything is moved. Clear small, obviously safe debris from walkways if needed for safety, but leave the actual tree work to us. It's not worth the risk.
