Do this first, before you call anyone
- If a line is down or a tree is touching any wire, stay back and call Huntsville Utilities at 256-535-1200. Treat every downed line as live.
- If the tree is on the house and anyone is hurt or the structure is unstable, call 911.
- Get everyone out from under the affected area, including the room below.
- Photograph everything from several angles before anything is moved. Your insurer will want it.
- Then call for emergency tree service.
North Alabama's storm reality
- Huntsville sits in a corridor that takes severe thunderstorms and tornado-warned cells every spring, plus straight-line wind and the occasional ice storm.
- Water oaks and Bradford pears are the most common failures here. Both are structurally weak and extremely common in Madison County subdivisions.
- Saturated ground after days of rain is when otherwise healthy trees uproot.
Insurance, plainly
- Most homeowner policies cover removal when a tree hits an insured structure, such as the house, garage, or fence.
- A tree that falls in the yard and hits nothing is often not covered at all, or removal is capped at a modest amount. Read your policy.
- Keep every receipt and photo. File before you clean up.
- Be careful with out-of-town crews that appear after a storm. Verify insurance and never pay a large deposit up front.
What about price?
We don't publish prices, and we won't. Huntsville Tree Service Pros is a referral service — we don't perform tree work and we haven't seen your property, your access, or the condition of the tree. Any range we printed would mislead you and unfairly anchor the contractor quoting the job.

Emergency & Storm Damage — Questions Huntsville Homeowners Ask
Who do I call if a tree hits a power line in Huntsville?
Call Huntsville Utilities at 256-535-1200 immediately and stay well clear. Never approach a tree touching a wire, and never let a crew cut it out until the utility has de-energized the line. If there is fire or injury, call 911.
Does homeowners insurance cover emergency tree removal?
Usually yes when the tree strikes an insured structure such as your home, garage, or fence. If it falls in the yard and damages nothing, many policies cover little or nothing, or cap removal at a modest amount. Photograph everything and call your carrier before cleanup.
How fast can someone get here?
For genuine emergencies, a tree on a structure or blocking access, local crews often respond the same day. After a widespread storm, response stretches because every crew in Madison County is running calls. Getting on the list early matters.
How much is emergency tree removal?
We don't quote emergency work. It does cost more than scheduled work, for real reasons: overtime labour, crane or rigging needs, and the genuine danger of cutting a tree already under tension over a damaged structure. Verify insurance before authorising anything, even under pressure.
