Do you offer 24/7 emergency tree removal in Spokane?

Yes — we answer day, night, weekends and holidays. If a tree is on your house, blocking your driveway, or hung up in power lines we dispatch immediately. Most Spokane Valley calls get a truck on-site within hours. Call (509) 204-4333.

A tree just fell on my house — what do I do right now?

Get everyone out of the affected room, stay clear of any downed wires, then call (509) 204-4333. We document for insurance, tarp the roof if needed, and remove the tree without making the damage worse.

How fast can you get to me in an emergency?

Inside Spokane Valley, Spokane city, Liberty Lake and Mead we routinely arrive within 60–120 minutes. North Idaho (Post Falls, CDA, Hayden) usually within 2–3 hours.

Tree fell across my driveway — do you respond same day?

Yes. Driveway clearances are a same-day call for us. We cut, haul, and grind any stump in one trip so you're not boxed in overnight.

A branch is hanging over my kid's bedroom — is that an emergency?

If it's larger than your wrist and you can see it shifted, yes. Call (509) 204-4333 — we'll come out same day to remove the hanger before the next gust.

Tree on my car — can you get it off without damaging it more?

That's a rigging job. We lower the trunk in sections with ropes so weight comes off the vehicle gradually. Done it dozens of times in Spokane Valley with no secondary damage.

Tree leaning on a power line after a windstorm — who do I call first?

Call Avista to de-energize, then call us at (509) 204-4333. We coordinate directly with the utility before any climber touches the tree.

Is there an extra charge for after-hours emergencies?

There's a modest after-hours premium for 10pm–6am dispatch. We quote it on the phone before we roll — no surprise invoices.

Do you respond on Christmas / Thanksgiving / New Year's?

Yes. Storms don't take holidays and neither do we. Call (509) 204-4333 anytime.

My neighbor's tree fell on my fence — who do I call?

Call us — we remove the tree from your property and document the species, location and direction of failure for your insurance claim, even if liability falls on the neighbor.

Do you do tarping for damaged roofs after a tree falls?

Yes. We tarp roofs the same day we remove the tree so weather doesn't push more water into the structure while you wait on the adjuster.

Can you remove a tree at 2 AM if it's on my house?

Yes. We've worked nights in Spokane Valley after wind events. We light the work zone with portable towers and run the same safety protocol as daytime.

Tree split in half during a storm — is the other half going to fall?

Almost always, yes. A split crotch leaves the remaining half unbalanced. Remove both halves now, before the next gust takes the second one through your roof.

How do I know if a leaning tree is an emergency?

If the lean is new (visible since the last windstorm), or if you can see soil mounding/cracking on the uphill side of the root flare, treat it as an emergency. Call (509) 204-4333.

Power is out and there's a tree on the line — do I call you or Avista?

Avista first to kill the line. Us second to remove the tree. We won't climb a hot wire — nobody should.

Do you offer 24/7 service in Post Falls and Coeur d'Alene?

Yes. North Idaho 24/7 emergency dispatch is the same number: (509) 204-4333. We cross the state line all the time.

My tree is making cracking sounds — is it about to fall?

Audible cracking from a standing tree is a late-stage warning. Get away from it, keep vehicles and people out of the fall radius, and call us immediately.

Can you remove a hung-up tree that didn't quite fall?

Yes — and please don't try yourself. Hung-up trees release with explosive force when they slip. We use winches and rigging to bring them down controlled.

What counts as a true tree emergency vs a regular hazard?

Emergency = tree already touching a structure, blocking access, in power lines, or actively dropping limbs. Hazard = warning signs but no contact yet. Both deserve a call.

Will insurance cover the emergency removal?

Often yes, especially when wind/storm caused the failure and the tree hit a covered structure. We provide claim-ready invoices and photos.

Can you pull a tree off a shed without crushing the shed?

Most of the time, yes — if the shed isn't already collapsed. We rig the trunk and lift weight off gradually before cutting.

How long does emergency removal take once you arrive?

A typical residential tree on a house is 2–5 hours from arrival to last debris hauled. Bigger trees, crane jobs, or power line work run longer.

Do you bring a crane for emergency work?

We have access to crane services in Spokane and call them in whenever the job needs it — usually trees over 60 feet against a structure.

Can I get a verbal estimate over the phone for an emergency?

We'll give you a range over the phone based on photos. The firm number gets locked in when we're on-site and can see access.

What's the fastest way to reach you in an emergency?

Phone. Always phone. (509) 204-4333 rings directly to the crew. Online forms get answered fast during business hours but for emergencies, call.

How much does hazardous tree removal cost in Spokane?

Most hazardous removals run $800–$5,000. Small accessible trees start near $500; mid-size dangerous trees near structures run $1,500–$3,500; massive trees over rooftops or near power lines can hit $5,000+. Estimates are free, on-site, no obligation.

Why is dangerous tree removal more expensive than a basic cut?

You're paying for rigging, climbing gear, sometimes crane time, and a crew skilled enough that nothing else gets broken. Dropping a tree in a field is one job. Threading a 90-foot pine between a roof, fence and power line is another.

What's the cheapest tree you've ever removed?

A small accessible dead aspen for $250. We don't pretend everything starts at $1,000 — small jobs get small prices.

What's the most expensive removal you've quoted?

A multi-tree crane job over a CDA lakefront home — $14,000 including stump grinding, debris haul and rigging through a tight access. Big numbers, but the alternative was $60,000 of roof damage.

Do you charge by the hour or by the job?

By the job. Hourly billing rewards slow work; flat-rate quotes mean we move fast and you know the number before we start.

Yes, always. On-site, no obligation, no pressure. We give you a written quote and walk you through what's included.

Do you charge to come out and look?

No. We don't charge for estimates anywhere inside our service area (Spokane, Spokane Valley, Liberty Lake, Mead, Cheney, CDA, Post Falls, Hayden, Rathdrum).

Why did one company quote me $2,000 and another $5,000?

Usually the cheap quote skips rigging gear, dump fees, stump grinding, or insurance. Ask each company what's included and ask for their COI. Cheap quotes that wreck your roof aren't cheap.

No. We give you our honest best price the first time. We're not the cheapest in Spokane — we're the ones who don't damage your property.

How much does emergency response cost vs scheduled work?

Emergency response runs 25–60% higher than the same job scheduled a week out — that covers faster mobilization, and after-hours logistics.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, for larger jobs ($2,500+). We work with a third-party financing partner for 0% promotional rates to qualified homeowners.

Do you take credit cards?

Yes — Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover. Also checks and ACH. A 3% processing fee applies to cards on invoices over $1,000.

For jobs under $3,000, no deposit — pay on completion. Larger jobs may require a small mobilization deposit, refundable if we don't perform.

Are stump grinding and cleanup included in the price?

Quote always shows both line items. Most customers include stump grinding; some keep the wood for firewood. Cleanup is always included — we don't leave a mess.

How much does stump grinding alone cost in Spokane?

$75–$250 per stump for most residential sizes. Massive ponderosa stumps can run higher. Discount when grinding is bundled with removal.

Do you charge extra for hauling away wood?

Hauling is included in the removal price. If you want the wood left for firewood, just tell us — we'll buck it to length and stack it.

What does a crane add to the price?

Crane time typically adds $1,500–$3,500 to a removal but cuts hours of climbing, dramatically reduces risk, and is the only way to do some jobs.

Do you charge a fuel surcharge for North Idaho jobs?

Small mobilization fee for jobs beyond 30 miles of Spokane Valley (Rathdrum, Spirit Lake, Athol). Always disclosed in the quote.

Does insurance pay for the whole removal?

Often yes, when wind/storm caused the failure and a covered structure was hit. We invoice in a format adjusters accept and document the cause.

Will you bill my insurance directly?

We can — most carriers prefer the homeowner pays us and gets reimbursed, but we provide everything the adjuster needs and coordinate when asked.

How much for a tree leaning on a power line?

Power-line removals run $1,800–$6,000 depending on tree size, line type (primary vs secondary), and how long the Avista coordination takes.

What does it cost to remove a giant pine over my house?

Big ponderosas over structures typically run $3,500–$8,000 depending on access, climber rigging or crane, and stump size.

Cost to remove multiple trees at once?

We discount per-tree pricing 10–25% on multi-tree jobs because mobilization, dump runs and setup are shared. Get the whole property quoted at once.

Do HOAs ever pay for tree removal?

In some Spokane Valley and Liberty Lake HOAs, yes — common-area trees are association responsibility. We're happy to bill the HOA directly with their approval.

Will you give me a written quote?

Always. Every estimate is written, itemized, and valid for 30 days. No verbal-only deals.

Will my homeowners insurance cover tree removal?

Often yes — if the tree fell on a covered structure (house, garage, fence) due to wind, snow, or ice. Removal of a healthy tree that just died usually isn't covered. We help you find out.
