We are experts at the Claim process.  Adjusters often say “Not Covered” when in fact you are. We get payment for many customers after initial denial.  We don’t just remove the tree, we guide you through the claim.

Your insurance adjuster generally won’t be able to get to you quickly and will advise you to get the tree off your house and tarp it before rainwater does further damage.  Just take photos first to document the damage.

HOW YOUR INSURANCE WORKS

HOW YOUR INSURANCE WORKS

  Big Tree on or falling towards your house?  Our crane can safely lift it away, without causing additional damage.    


And here’s the best part, we don’t require payment from  you upon completion.  We work with your insurance company and will wait for them to pay.  Keep your cash available during this hurricane disaster, you might need it for emergency repairs, temporary housing, etc. 


   Your delicate roof is not a platform for workers dragging branches and dropping or rolling large logs.  It is important for a crane to lift off the tree at the same angle from which it fell to minimize damage.  Then, it is critical the house be tarped to prevent additional damage from rainwater.  Roofing companies are swamped and it is usually many weeks before you can hire a professional contractor.  


 All insurance companies require you to take steps to minimize additional damage (your contract will specifically say “MITIGATE ADDITIONAL DAMAGE”).  This means they are responsible for the damage the hurricane did but if you do nothing and allow rain to pour into the house for days, while waiting for an adjuster, insurance WILL NOT PAY for additional damage caused by the rainwater.

HOW YOUR INSURANCE WORKS

HOW YOUR INSURANCE WORKS

HOW YOUR INSURANCE WORKS

 When a tree falls into a house it is covered by insurance 99% of the time. It does not matter if it was your tree, the neighbors tree, or a city tree, it is your insurance that pays the claim. I know this sounds absurd, but it's been the law of the land for ages and there's no point in trying to push a rock uphill. It might have been your neighbors tree, but you and your insurance company are stuck with it. 


The only exception is if you have given the property owner from where the tree stood, written notice, via certified mail, and included a certified arborist report specifying the tree hazard. Then the property owner or their insurance must pay the claim. 


Many insurance companies strive to pay out as little as possible on claims. Remember the adjuster might act like your friend but works for and is paid by your insurance company. Seldom are they structural engineers knowing what is necessary for repairs to be performed up to code. Their assessment of your damage is not final, it is the very first assessment. 


Many adjusters' initial figure is often less than half of what is necessary and actually paid in the end. It is your job to present documentation as to exactly what is required to make your house whole again. Do not trust what the adjuster sees shining his flashlight in the attic checking for damage. Hire a reputable construction firm to give you a written estimate for repairs. Insurance companies cannot ignore detailed bids from professional contractors. 


Yes, there are many good insurance companies and adjusters but there are also those who act as though they have final say on your claim. This is absolutely NOT TRUE.

Removing a fallen tree from a house can be a delicate operation. Has the kinetic energy from the falling momentum of the tree been transferred into the house or is the tree still under a stress load??  Relieving that energy/pressure can be precarious.  Our crane can lift gently, or stop completely when necessary, relieving that stress load safely without risking life and limb.  

  

Removing a tree manually will shorten the life of your roof. Once installed and exposed to hot summer days, it becomes rigid and brittle and should not be walked on unless absolutely necessary. A tree removal crew sawing, dragging branches and dropping logs will do much long term damage. The damage will not show up immediately though and when it does your insurance company is going to say it’s normal wear and tear and not a claimable item that they will cover. So yes, of course you can get on the roof to remove a few small branches or tiny tree but for anything more substantial than that, the smart thing to do is use a crane to lift it off and avoid fracturing the rigid shingles.


There are endless pictures online of cranes flipping over and cutting a house in half when trying to remove a tree. You don’t want a novice tree climber or an undersized crane. Expertise is critical. Our business is tree removal by crane, it’s what we do everyday.  We are highly experienced at removing trees without causing additional house damage or hazards to crew.  


28 years operation without a damage claim.  And $2 million insurance coverage, just to give you peace of mind. 




WHY CHOOSE US FOR YOUR TREE REMOVAL

1. We don't require payment upon completion. We work with your insurance company for payment. Keep your cash available for emergencies and temporary housing.   

2. After a roof goes through Summer heat it becomes brittle.  Tree crews sawing and stomping around on your roof will shorten your roofs life expectancy, which insurance won't cover when it leaks in a couple of years.   Use a crane and preserve your roof!

 3. Very Safe: Tree removal without a crane can be extremely dangerous. Lifting with our crane eliminates accidents and structure damage.

4. Two Million insurance including workers comp: 28 years of operation without a single damage claim!

5. Quickly get the tree off your house so it can be covered with a tarp to stop more rainwater from entering, causing damage and mold growth. 

6. No damage to your house or landscape: Our crane lifts the tree off at the exact angle which it fell, ensuring no more damage.

Hurricane Crane Tree Removal delicately lifts the tree off the house after a hurricane

HISTORY

House demolished by a tree blown onto it in a hurricane

28 Years of Hurricane Expertise

Established in 1993, Crane Tree Removal began when a neighbor was taking down 6 fir trees to build a garage. The service he hired was about to chop the trees down in firewood pieces. I was aghast at the waste and the neighbor agreed to let me hire a crane to lift the trees out as logs instead. The sale of the logs paid for half of the tree removal expense which struck me as a win-win situation. Why chop down our National Forests when we can build homes with trees that must come down regardless, AND save money in the process. So I bought a crane and here we are. The crane also allows us to do very difficult removals where a tree is growing very close to a house, in an inaccessible back yard, over a septic system or delicate landscape, or too far deteriorated to safely climb and remove. The Safety Factor the crane provides allows us to work day in and day out without bodily risk to our crew or our client's property. Peace of mind is a lovely thing.
 

Hundreds of Hurricane blown trees lifted off houses for insurance companies has taught me how to ensure that your insurance company pays what is required to make your house whole again. No one in America has craned more trees. Not a single damage claim!

 Having a tree fall on your  house is not a pleasant experience but Bill eased our minds and made it  as simple as possible. He came out to look at the tree within about an  hour of calling him on a Friday afternoon, driving from Bellevue to  Burien. He and his crew arrived following morning to remove the tree,  even cutting the trunk into rounds for firewood. Bill and his entire  crew were polite, fast, respectful and clean. They bill the insurance  directly and take pictures so it's one less thing you'll have to deal  with.

I highly recommend calling Bill for your tree needs. His  knowledge and friendly. Crossing my fingers nothing like this ever  happens again but of it does, he will be our first phone call.

 I had a huge Douglas fir tree that needed to be removed.  It was very  close to  to my neighbors house and my garage.  I recieved several bids  to remove the tree.  Crane Tree Removal's bid was reasonably priced.   The quality of the work was exceptional.  The work was completed in two  days with all of the  debris from the tree removed.  No damage to house  or property.  They followed thru on everything they said they would do.   I will  use them again when the need arises.

 These guys really know how to remove a dangerous crippled tree from on  top of my house.  Gently and delicately cut and lifted simultaneously  and my truck, buried under the crushed garage miraculously escaped  without a scratch.
