Service
Storm Damage Cleanup across the NC High Country
Post-storm hazard removal, debris haul-off, and insurance-ready documentation — without the price gouging that follows every big weather event.
The work
After a major storm rolls through the High Country, the worst part isn't the damage — it's the swarm of out-of-state crews who descend on Boone and Banner Elk quoting four times the fair price because they know homeowners have no leverage. We started this service partly in response to what people went through after Helene.
Our routed crews are local, vetted before any storm hit, and held to fair-pricing standards. They handle the immediate hazard first (a tree on a roof, a leaning trunk near a power line, blocked driveways) and then schedule the larger cleanup as a separate visit if the damage is broad. For insurance claims, the crew can document the damage with photos, itemize the work on the invoice, and provide certificates of insurance — everything the adjuster will ask for.
If your damage is recent and time-sensitive, say so on the form. We route those leads first and the crew will reach you with a real plan, not a runaround.
When this service is the right call
- Tree on a roof, driveway, fence, or outbuilding after a wind event
- Multiple downed trees blocking access to a property
- Hung-up limbs ("widow-makers") that need controlled removal before they fall
- Insurance-claim cleanup with documentation requirements
- Hazard tree assessment after a storm — what needs to come down, what can be saved
Typical pricing
$800–$5,000+ depending on scale of damage, access, and whether crane support is needed. Hazard removal on a single tree typically lands at $1,200–$2,500.
Quotes are confirmed on-site before any work begins. We do not push jobs that don't need doing.
Common questions
- How quickly can a crew be on-site after a storm?
- For active hazards (tree on a structure, line down), we route those leads first and the crew typically reaches you within hours. For non-urgent cleanup after a major event, expect 1–3 days as crews work through the backlog.
- Can you work with my insurance?
- Yes. The crew documents the damage with timestamped photos, writes an itemized invoice that adjusters recognize, and provides certificates of insurance for your records. Most claims are paid promptly when the paperwork is clean.
- How do I spot a storm-chaser crew that's overcharging?
- Out-of-state license plates, no local address, no certificate of insurance, demand for full payment up-front in cash, refusal to put the quote in writing. Any of those is a red flag. The crews we route to are local, insured, and quote in writing — every time.
