Emergency Tree Service in Conroe
What to do first
Keep everyone away from the tree and from anything it is resting on. If it has brought down or is touching a power line, stay well back and call your electric utility and 911. Take photos for your insurance company before anything is moved, and cover roof openings only if you can do it safely from inside.
How emergency work is handled
The first job is to make things safe: lifting the tree off the structure, often with a crane, and tarping the damage. Full cleanup and stump work can follow once the urgent part is done. Ask for a written price before work starts, even in an emergency.
Insurance
Homeowners policies often pay to remove a tree that has damaged a covered structure, and sometimes one blocking a driveway. Call your insurer early and keep the crew's invoice and your photos.
Trees in Conroe
Conroe sits in the Piney Woods, so most calls here involve tall loblolly pines, water oaks and sweetgums growing close to houses, fences and power lines. Long dry spells followed by heavy rain leave pines stressed and prone to bark beetles, and a dead pine becomes brittle quickly. Around Lake Conroe, saturated ground and wind off the water bring down shallow-rooted trees after storms.
Inside Conroe city limits, and in many neighborhoods with a homeowners association, there can be rules about removing large or protected trees. Ask the crew about this before work starts, and check with the City of Conroe or your association if you are unsure.

Common questions
Who pays when a neighbor's tree falls on my house?
In Texas your own homeowners policy usually covers damage to your property, whoever owned the tree. The neighbor may be liable if they knew the tree was dead or dangerous and did nothing. Your insurer can advise.
Will a crew come out at night or on weekends?
After major storms crews work long hours and take the most dangerous jobs first. Call, describe what the tree is resting on, and you will be told honestly how soon someone can reach you.
Should I cut it up myself?
Not if it is on a structure, under tension, or near a power line. Storm-damaged trees shift without warning and cause serious injuries every year.
