Why Trust Us With Your Emergency?
During a tree emergency, you cannot afford to wait, and you cannot afford mistakes. You need a team with the right equipment, the right insurance, and the technical expertise to handle highly dangerous situations safely.
The JCS Advantage in an Emergency:
- Crane-Assisted Emergency Removal: When a tree has fallen on your roof, vehicle, or is dangerously suspended, traditional cutting methods are too risky. We deploy crane-assisted removal to lift heavy sections of the tree up and away from your structures, ensuring a “zero-impact” removal that prevents further property damage.
- professional Safety Assessment: Every emergency scene is evaluated by our on-staff ISA Certified Arborist or a qualified estimator to assess structural integrity, load distribution, and the safest method of extraction.
- Fully Insured & Credentialed: We carry comprehensive liability insurance and hold an A+ rating with the BBB. We are TCIA Members, MGIA Members, and ISA Certified — meaning you are protected and working with verified professionals.
- Since 2020: Our family-owned team has been safely resolving the most complex tree emergencies across Southeast Michigan since 2020.
Our Emergency Response Process
When you call us for an emergency, we move quickly and systematically to secure your property:
- Immediate Dispatch & Assessment: We respond rapidly to your call. Upon arrival, our arborist or qualified estimator evaluates the hazard, assesses the structural tension of the fallen or leaning tree, and formulates a safe extraction plan.
- Securing the Area: Safety is our first priority. We secure the perimeter to protect your family and our crew from unpredictable shifts in the tree’s weight.
- Crane & Rigging Deployment: For complex hazards, we bring in specialized crane and rigging expertise to stabilize the tree. We then systematically cut and lift the sections away from your home or power lines.
- Complete Debris Cleanup: Once the immediate hazard is neutralized, we haul away all debris, branches, and logs, leaving your property safe and clean.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if a tree falls on my house?
Evacuate the immediate area inside your home, ensure your family is safe, and call JCS Tree Care Professionals LLC immediately at (248) 965-9035. Do not attempt to move branches or assess the damage yourself, especially if power lines are involved. We will dispatch a team to safely remove the tree using our crane-assisted methods to prevent further structural damage.
Does homeowners insurance cover emergency tree removal?
In many cases, if a tree falls on a covered structure (like your house or garage) due to a storm, homeowners insurance will cover the cost of removal and repairs. We recommend contacting your insurance agent immediately. We can provide a detailed, written invoice and documentation of the damage to assist with your claim.
Why is a crane necessary for storm damage removal?
When a tree is uprooted or resting on a house, it is under immense, unpredictable tension. Cutting it from the ground can cause it to snap or crash through the roof. A crane allows us to secure the tree’s weight from above, safely lifting pieces away without putting any additional stress on your home.
Can you remove a tree that is tangled in power lines?
If a tree is touching or tangled in active power lines, you must call your local utility company (like DTE Energy) first to de-energize the lines. Once the utility company has declared the area safe and de-energized, our team can step in to safely remove the tree.
How fast can you respond to a storm-damaged or fallen tree?
We run 24/7 emergency response across Metro Detroit and Oakland County and get to you as fast as it is safe to work. We prioritize the most dangerous situations first — trees on occupied homes, blocked exits, and anything involving power lines. If a power line is down, stay well clear and call your utility (DTE) and 911 first, then call us at (248) 965-9035.
What should I do while you get to my property?
Keep everyone well clear of the tree and any damaged part of the structure, and stay out of rooms beneath a tree that is resting on the roof. Do not try to move limbs, climb on the tree, or cut anything yourself — a tree under storm tension can shift or snap without warning. Treat every downed line as live: stay back and call DTE and 911. If it is safe, take a few photos for your insurance claim, then leave the tree to us. We will secure it and remove it safely.
What if a tree falls on my car, garage, or fence — not my house?
We handle all of it — trees on vehicles, garages, sheds, fences, and decks, not just houses. A tree loaded against a structure usually needs careful, rigged removal so it comes off in controlled sections instead of causing more damage on the way down, and we coordinate crane-assisted rigging when that is the safest approach. We document the damage for your insurance claim throughout. Call (248) 965-9035 and we will get to you as fast as it is safe to work.
