Storm damage questions
Aurora storm tree damage: common questions
Will my home insurance cover storm tree damage?
Most Ontario home insurance policies (Aviva, Intact, Travelers, Wawanesa, TD Insurance, etc.) cover the cost of removing a tree that has damaged your insured structure — house, garage, fence, shed. They typically do NOT cover removal of a fallen tree that did not damage anything. They also generally do not cover preventive removal of a tree that "looks unsafe" after a storm. Coverage limits vary; check your specific policy or call your broker before scheduling.
Should I call my insurance or you first?
Call us first to make the site safe (cover damaged roof with a tarp, clear immediate hazards). Then call your insurer to start the claim. They will ask for photographs (we take them), an invoice with line-item costs (we provide), and sometimes an arborist report (we provide for an extra fee if your insurer requires it). We can speak directly to your adjuster if needed.
What if a tree fell but didn't hit anything?
Standard removal pricing applies (CAD $800-$3,500), not emergency pricing, unless the tree is blocking access to your driveway/road. Your insurance probably will NOT cover it — fallen trees with no structural damage are usually the homeowner's responsibility. We give you the same written, itemized quote regardless.
How quickly can you respond after a major storm?
It depends on the scale of the event. After a localized wind storm we can usually dispatch within 24 hours. After a major regional event (December 2013 ice storm scale) every crew in the GTA is fully booked for 2-3 weeks. We triage by severity — structural damage and access blockage first, then property cleanup. Call as soon as it's safe; we'll give you a realistic response window.
Will your crew tarp my damaged roof?
Yes — we carry tarps and can secure them temporarily as part of an emergency response, at no separate charge. This is for site safety, not as a substitute for proper roof repair. You should still book a roofing contractor as soon as possible to make permanent repairs. Damaged roof tarps degrade quickly in sun and weather.
Can you help with the insurance arborist report?
Yes. Some insurers require an arborist report justifying the removal cost, especially for trees that were damaged but not destroyed. Our partner ISA-certified arborists write reports for $250-$500 depending on complexity. The report is yours; you submit it to your insurer with the invoice. Most insurers reimburse the report cost as part of the claim.
Storm hit your trees? We'll document and clean up.
