A downed limb or a split trunk after a storm calls for a fast response no matter the circumstances - and on a neighbourhood where so many trees share a similar age, one storm can leave more damage spread across more yards than it would somewhere with a younger, more varied canopy.
Give anything still caught up in the branches a wide berth rather than assuming it's stable just because it hasn't fallen yet - it can drop without any warning. Snap a photo if it's safe to, then call and walk us through what you're seeing.
Leave a hung-up limb alone rather than trying to pull it free. That's genuinely one of the riskier tasks in this line of work.
Photos and notes on the damage happen before any cleanup starts, backed by a written estimate - enough for most insurance companies. If your policy asks for something more specific, let us know.
Generally, yes. Trees carrying years of accumulated deadwood or early decline shed limbs more readily in high wind than younger, structurally cleaner ones, and with so much of the canopy here at a comparable age, a single storm event can leave marks across a wider stretch of the community.
A few hours is the typical wait, unless a citywide storm has every available crew already stretched thin. You'll get a realistic timeline either way, not a shrug.
Whatever time a storm hits, (647) 370-2198 is the number to call. Once the immediate mess is dealt with, have a look at everything else we take on.
A short list of additional jobs comes up often enough here to be worth mentioning.
Good trimming clears out what's dead or in the way and leaves the tree's shape intact - straightforward on a young tree still finding its form, considerably less so on one that's spent close to seven decades settling into its final structure.

A dead branch has one direction left to go, and the only real question is timing. Getting to it before gravity does is the whole job here, especially on trees this far along that have already built up plenty of deadwood.

We recommend removal last, not first - but once a tree's decline has moved past the point where saving it makes sense, the job covers cutting, hauling and cleanup together in one visit.

Size alone rarely justifies removing a tree that's simply gotten bigger than its original spot allows for. Thinning and reduction exist for exactly this situation - scaling a canopy back down without sacrificing the decades it took to grow.

Running a cable between two major limbs relieves the strain on a union that's starting to give way, before it fails outright - frequently the difference between a mature tree surviving a bad storm and losing it entirely.

Grinding is the fast way to close out a removal: the wheel works the stump down below the surrounding grade in one pass, and by the time we're packing up, the space is already usable again. Root systems built over six or seven decades still come down to size in that same single visit.

We'll reply within one business day of hearing the species, the size, and your best guess at the tree's age. Prefer to explain it by phone? Call (647) 370-2198.
