A limb is on the tenant's car

People out from under it. Photos before the brush is hauled.

A limb on a tenant’s car, through a carport, or on a unit is the same first hour as a tree on a house. Get people out. Keep anyone from climbing the pile. If a wire is in it, stay back and call the utility. We do not cut a tree that is holding a live line as if it were a normal drop.

The tenant’s insurer and the owner both want the photos you take before the wood moves.

What to do before the crew

Photograph the whole tree, where the wood is resting, the car or the roof, and the base of the trunk. Do it from the ground. Those photos are for the owner and for the tenant’s insurance. We are not the adjuster, and we do not invent a cause. We get the weight off and haul the wood.

Do not let a resident, or a resident’s relative, start a chainsaw on a limb that is still loaded. That is how a second failure hits the next car.

Call 408-439-6975. Emergency tree service is the job when the wood is on a structure, a car someone still has to use, or a walk people cannot get around. A limb already on the lawn, with nobody under it, can be a scheduled cleanup. Say which one it is when you call. Tell us the gate code, which stalls are under the canopy, and whether the carport posts are in the drop zone.

The stump is a later pass. Stump grinding waits until the weight is off, unless the stump itself is blocking the drive. See a tree on the house, the car, or the fairway for the same hour on a single lot.

Start Easy Estimate only if the tree is still standing and threatening. If it is already on the car or the unit, call.
