When the situation can’t wait

Emergency tree work, from the roof to the driveway.

We help homeowners, businesses, rental-property owners and managed sites address immediate tree hazards. The first priority is stabilizing the situation—not rushing a cut.

STRUCTURAL IMPACT

Trees on homes and roofs

Controlled removal of wood resting on a roof or extending into an attic, with attention to damaged and unsupported areas.

OUTBUILDINGS

Garages and other structures

Plan the removal around the structure, nearby property and the way the tree is supported.

VEHICLE DAMAGE

Trees on vehicles

Assess the load and remove branches or trunk sections with equipment suited to the access and conditions.

UNSTABLE TREES

Split or partially uprooted trees

Address compromised trunks and root plates that can shift without warning. Keep clear even if the tree appears still.

OVERHEAD HAZARDS

Hanging and broken limbs

Reach and remove suspended limbs using aerial equipment or rigging when it is safe to work.

BLOCKED ACCESS

Driveways and entrances

Clear fallen trees blocking property access after assessing overhead hazards and utility conflicts.

AFTER THE STORM

Storm-damaged trees

Assess broken crowns, damaged trunks and surrounding trees to prioritize the most urgent work.

COMPLEX REMOVALS

Crane-assisted emergencies

Lift controlled sections where weight, structural impacts or restricted access call for crane assistance.

DEBRIS & CLEANUP

Emergency storm debris cleanup

Handle limbs and heavy wood after stabilization. Confirm the cleanup scope and any follow-up work with our team.

What to do right now

People first.
The tree can wait until it’s safe.

A clear plan in a stressful moment

How our emergency response works

Every site is different. Weather, utility hazards, access and other active emergencies influence when and how work can proceed.

01 · CALL & PLAN

Understand the situation

We discuss the hazard and review photos when available. Then we identify the crew, crane or other equipment the job may need.

02 · ARRIVE & ASSESS

Establish the work area

On site, we assess damaged trees, overhead hazards, structures and access before setting up equipment and protection.

03 · STABILIZE & REMOVE

Work in controlled sections

The crew addresses immediate hazards using appropriate cutting, rigging and crane assistance. Temporary tarping may follow when safe and applicable.

04 · CLEAN UP & RECORD

Prepare for the next step

We handle debris within the agreed scope, photograph the work and provide supporting records for insurance-related jobs when applicable.

Emergency mitigation is not full restoration. Tree removal and applicable temporary protection help clear the way for repairs. Additional tree removal, cleanup or stump grinding can be coordinated after the immediate hazard is addressed.

Equipment selection depends on the load, ground conditions and available setup space.

Control · Access · Property protection

Equipment for the work that isn’t straightforward.

A tree resting on a building can’t simply be dragged away. We plan how each section will be supported, cut and moved.

  • 38-ton crane with up to 127 feet of boom: controlled lifting for complex removals. Usable capacity and reach depend on the crane setup, load chart and site conditions.
  • Bucket trucks and aerial equipment: access to elevated work where conditions allow.
  • Loaders, skid steers and chippers: handling heavy wood and clearing debris efficiently.
  • Ground-protection mats: distribute equipment loads and help limit lawn disturbance along appropriate access routes. No site is guaranteed damage-free.
  • Professional crews: coordinated cutting, rigging, equipment operation and cleanup.

Emergency work involving insurance

We document the work.
Your carrier decides coverage.

When a tree damages a structure, our role is emergency tree service, loss-mitigation work and clear records of what happened and what we did.

With your authorization, we can communicate with insurance representatives about the site conditions, equipment and work performed.

No upfront payment required for our insurance-related emergency tree service. We’ll explain the work authorization and payment process with you.

Discuss an emergency removal

Documentation we can provide

  • Before, during and after photographs
  • Descriptions of the loss and work performed
  • Itemized invoices
  • Personnel and equipment records
  • Hazard and access information
  • W-9 and certificate of insurance on request

Modern Tree Solutions is not a public adjuster. We do not interpret policies, determine coverage, negotiate coverage on your behalf, guarantee claim payment, or provide legal or insurance advice. Your insurance carrier determines coverage and payment under your policy.

Experience with real storm damage

What this work can involve

Examples from completed Modern Tree Solutions emergency work, without customer names, addresses or claim information.

Roof damage and temporary protection

The challenge: storm damage involving roof openings and difficult access around a home.

Our work: an actual Carmel emergency job used ground mats and two climbers working from a bucket. The work included emergency tree removal and temporary tarping.

The result: the tree-removal phase and temporary roof protection were completed so the property could move toward repairs.

An uprooted tree across a garage and fence

The challenge: a failed tree extended into a neighboring yard, with very little holding wood left on a standing section.

Our work: access through the neighboring property, five personnel, a wheeled loader, chipper and chip truck.

The result: removal of the emergency tree hazard with the access conditions and work documented.

★★★★★
The service was excellent. They came well prepared. They were very efficient and knowledgeable at taking down the huge oak tree. When they actually were finished the yard looked better than when they arrived. As we had a lot of debris all over the yard from the storms.

Answers before you call

Emergency tree service questions

Not sure if your situation is an emergency? Describe it to our team from a safe location.

Call 765-374-8698
What should I do if a tree falls on my house?

Keep everyone away from the affected area and do not enter damaged rooms. Stay clear of the tree and utility lines. Call 911 for injuries or immediate danger, then call Modern Tree Solutions from safety. Take photos only if you can do so without approaching the hazard, and contact your insurance carrier when appropriate.

Do you provide emergency service at night and on weekends?

Yes. Modern Tree Solutions offers 24-hour emergency tree service, including nights and weekends. Call to discuss the hazard and current availability.

Can you remove a tree resting on a roof?

Yes. We assess how the tree is supported and plan a controlled removal around the damaged structure. Rigging, aerial equipment or a crane may be needed. We do not ask homeowners to climb onto the roof or move branches.

Do you have a crane for emergency removals?

Yes. Our crane capabilities can help with heavy sections, difficult access and trees resting on structures. The crew determines whether a crane is appropriate after considering loads, setup space, ground conditions and other hazards.

Should I call you or my insurance company first?

Address immediate danger first: call 911 or the utility for life-safety or electrical hazards. From a safe place, call us about the tree hazard and notify your insurance carrier promptly when damage may involve a claim. Your carrier can explain its claim procedures.

Will homeowners insurance cover tree removal?

Coverage is not automatic. Your carrier determines whether the loss and removal costs are covered under your policy. We can document the conditions and work performed, but we cannot determine coverage or guarantee payment.

What documentation do you provide?

When applicable, we provide before, during and after photos, descriptions of the loss and work, itemized invoices, personnel and equipment records, and hazard or access information. A W-9 and certificate of insurance are available on request.

Can you temporarily tarp a damaged roof?

Temporary tarping may be included when applicable and safe after the tree hazard is addressed. Discuss the damage with our team. Tarping is temporary protection, not a permanent roof repair or a guarantee against further weather damage.

How quickly can you respond?

Call for current availability. Response depends on the location, weather, utility hazards, access, equipment needs and other active emergencies. We do not promise a fixed arrival time before reviewing the situation.

Do I need to pay upfront for insured emergency work?

No. Upfront payment is not required for our insurance-related emergency tree service. We will explain the work authorization and payment process for your job. This does not guarantee insurance coverage or claim payment; coverage decisions remain with your carrier.

What affects the cost of emergency tree removal?

The size and position of the tree, structural impacts, access, instability, crew requirements, equipment and debris handling all affect the scope. Call to discuss your situation and the work needed; there is no reliable one-price estimate for every emergency.
