Emergency Tree Service in Ada, MI: 24/7 Storm Response

If anyone is hurt, call 911 first. If the tree is on a power line or has pulled a service drop off the house, stay well clear and call Consumers Energy at 800-477-5050 before anyone else — we cannot legally cut a tree off a live line until the utility de-energizes it.

Once people are safe and the utility is notified, call us at (616) 438-5552. Take a few photos for your insurance carrier, but don't climb on the tree, the roof, or anything the tree is touching.

Our emergency crew rolls with a bucket truck, climbing gear, rigging kit, and a 12-inch chipper. For trees on structures, we secure the load first (often with rigging tied to the trunk or to a separate anchor tree) so weight transfers as we cut — we never just chunk weight off a tree resting on a roof and hope.

If the job is too large or too dangerous to dismantle by climbing — common with mature oaks and maples along the Thornapple — we bring in a crane the same day or first thing the next morning.

Most homeowner policies in Michigan cover tree removal when a tree damages an insured structure (house, garage, fence, driveway). We work with every major carrier — Auto-Owners, State Farm, Allstate, Farm Bureau, Citizens, Frankenmuth — and provide the itemized estimate, photos and invoice your adjuster will ask for.

If the tree fell without hitting a structure, removal is usually not covered. We will still give you a fair, written quote and can often complete the work the same week.

After a major storm in Ada, out-of-state 'storm chasers' show up with magnetic signs and hand-written quotes. We have watched them for years — uninsured, unlicensed, no local accountability. Always ask for a current Certificate of Insurance and a Michigan address before any tree work begins on your property.

We are local, insured, and answer the phone 24/7. Call (616) 438-5552 any hour.
