Tree Service Questions
Short answers to what folks ask us most. Don't see yours? Call (530) 466-4059.
How this works
Do you do the cutting yourselves?
No. We answer, locate a pro near you and arrange a time. The pro handles the job and names the cost.
Is there a charge for the call?
No. You won't be billed for the call or for the match.
How soon can I expect a visit?
The storm, the roads and the pros' call lists all play a part. A tree on a house goes to the top. We'll tell you what we hear.
After a storm
A top snapped off but it's hanging in the tree. Is that bad?
Yes, it can drop any time. Move people and cars away from it, then call.
Is it smart to shake snow loose from a tree?
No. Branches can easily break. If the snow is frozen to a branch, wait for it to thaw.
What do I do about a power line in a tree?
Stay back and call 911. PG&E draws a 10-foot line around wires for people and tools alike.
Money
What does emergency tree work cost?
One cost guide puts it at $450 to $5,000. Another says the standard charge in Sacramento is $1,084. Your pro gives you the real price.
Will my insurance pay?
It might. A fallen tree on your house is often covered, up to a limit and after a deductible. Consumer Reports says insurers generally cap removal at $500 or $1,000.
A neighbor's tree fell on my house. Who pays?
Usually your own insurer. Call them first.
Is there help with the cost of dead trees?
A local nonprofit runs a cost-share program worth as much as $4,000 in removal and chipping. It had closed sign-ups when we checked in November 2026.
