Storm Cleanup & Damage Restoration in Tallahassee

When the storm passes and the trees are down, we get to work. Fast response, experienced crews, full cleanup.

Living in North Florida means dealing with storms. Hurricanes, tropical storms, severe thunderstorms — they all leave the same mess: trees on houses, limbs blocking driveways, root balls ripped out of the ground. With 10 years in the business, we've cleaned up after every major storm to hit the Big Bend region, and we know how to get your property back to normal fast. When a storm hits Tallahassee, our crews are ready to go.

After the Storm: What to Do First

Stay away from downed trees, especially if they're anywhere near power lines. Even if you don't see wires, they could be tangled inside the tree. Don't try to cut up a fallen tree yourself — trees under tension can snap back unpredictably and cause serious injuries. Take photos of all the damage for insurance purposes before anything gets moved. Then call us at (850) 570-4074. We'll get you on the schedule and prioritize based on urgency — trees on structures and blocking access come first.

Our Storm Response

We start working as soon as it's safe to have crews out. Trees on houses and vehicles get priority. Then we clear access roads and driveways so people can get in and out. From there, we work through the property systematically — removing fallen trees, cutting up and hauling debris, grinding stumps if requested. We bring the heavy equipment: cranes, grapple trucks, chippers, and the crew to run all of it. We've handled cleanup after every major storm that's hit Tallahassee in recent memory.

Insurance and FEMA Claims

Storm damage is stressful enough without fighting your insurance company. We document everything — photos, descriptions of work performed, itemized invoices — to make your claim as smooth as possible. We work with adjusters regularly and understand what insurance companies need to see. If the storm triggers a federal disaster declaration, FEMA assistance may be available too. We can help you understand what's covered and what paperwork you need. Our invoices are detailed and formatted for easy claim submission.

Our Storm Cleanup Process

We don't cut corners. Here's how every storm cleanup job works from start to finish.

Rapid Assessment

We survey the damage, identify immediate hazards, and prioritize work based on safety and access needs.

Hazard Mitigation

Trees on structures, near power lines, or blocking emergency access get handled first. Safety comes before everything else.

Debris Removal

We cut up, chip, and haul all tree debris. Trunks get sectioned and removed. Brush gets chipped. Your property gets cleared.

Restoration

Once the debris is gone, we handle stump grinding, damaged tree pruning, and any remaining cleanup so your property is fully restored.
