After every big storm, out of state trucks show up
They knock on doors, quote cash prices, and disappear when the season ends. Maryland law requires a Licensed Tree Expert credential to remove trees for compensation. Most storm chasers do not have one.
How to spot a storm chaser
No Maryland license number they can show you, pressure to decide today, cash-only pricing, and out of state license plates on their trucks.
Why it matters for your insurance claim
Insurance adjusters can reject or question invoices from unlicensed operators. Documentation from a licensed, insured Maryland company holds up in claims.
Verify Before You Hire
Our Maryland LTE License Number is #002327. Always verify credentials with the Department of Natural Resources.
Verify our license with MD DNR →Tree already down? Do this first.
Downed power line = stay 30 feet away
Treat every line as live. Call BGE or Pepco immediately before anyone approaches the area.
Take photos before anything moves
Your insurance adjuster will want the original position of the tree documented for claim approval.
Do not re-enter a room the tree hit
Structural roof or wall damage is not always visible from inside. Wait for a safety assessment.
The cheapest storm damage is the one that does not happen
Most trees that fall in Maryland storms showed warning signs beforehand. A pre-season check costs a fraction of an emergency removal and far less than a new roof.
Signs a tree may not survive storm season
Dead limbs in the upper canopy, visible trunk cavities, fungus at the base, leaning that was not there last year, and heavy branches overhanging the roofline.
What pre-season trimming actually does
Reducing canopy weight and removing dead wood lowers wind resistance, the exact difference between losing a single branch or losing the entire tree onto your house.
When to schedule it
Late spring through July before the August to November peak. During active storm weeks, preventive work takes a back seat to active emergencies.
How storm response works during peak season
1. Call: we triage by hazard
Trees on structures, blocking exits, or near lines get priority. We give you a realistic response window, not a vague promise.
24/7 during storm season
2. Hazard stabilized first
Safe removal off the structure or roadway before full cleanup begins.
Safety before speed
3. Documentation as we work
Photos and written assessment formatted for your insurance claim adjuster.
Included, not an upsell
4. Full cleanup
Debris hauled and property cleared, or cut and leave if you prefer to keep wood for firewood.
Your choice
Storm in the forecast this week?
Pre-storm inspections book fast when weather is coming. Post-storm, we triage by severity. Either way, calling early gets you ahead of the queue.
Storm season questions, answered straight
How fast can you get here after a storm?
It depends on severity across the region. We triage trees on structures and blocked access first. Calling early, even during the storm, gets you in the queue sooner.
Does my insurance cover storm tree damage?
Generally yes, when the tree damages an insured structure or blocks essential driveway access. We provide the exact documentation adjusters ask for as part of the job.
The tree fell from my neighbor yard, who pays?
If the tree was healthy, Maryland treats it as an Act of God and your own policy covers your property damage. If it was visibly dead and they ignored it, liability can shift to them.
Can you check my trees before storm season?
Yes. Pre-season inspections and preventive trimming are exactly what late spring and early summer are for. During active storm weeks, emergencies take priority.
Should I hire the crew that knocked on my door after the storm?
Ask for their Maryland Licensed Tree Expert number first. If they cannot produce one, they are not legally allowed to do the work and their invoice may complicate your insurance claim.
Do you charge more during storm season?
Emergency and after-hours response carries priority pricing, quoted before we start, never a surprise invoice after.
Before the storm or after it: we are the call.
Licensed. Local. Documented for your insurance. Answering 24/7 through storm season.
