When the tree becomes the emergency
Emergency tree services for New Orleans properties
Tree damage in New Orleans can affect more than one building or block the space needed to reach a property. Request help for the immediate hazard, then review debris handling and roof protection as part of the agreed work.
Tree on Structure Removal
A tree resting on your house, garage, roof, or enclosure needs controlled removal. The tree’s position and the affected structure guide the plan.
Explore structure removalHazardous Tree Removal
A new lean, lifting roots, cracked trunk, or hanging branch deserves attention. Request an evaluation of the tree and the property around it.
Explore hazardous tree helpStorm Damage Cleanup
After the immediate hazards are handled, clear the agreed work areas of downed trees, limbs, and woody debris. Confirm hauling and cleanup in the scope.
Explore storm cleanupRoof Tarping & Mitigation
When tree impact or severe weather leaves the roof exposed, temporary protection may be needed while permanent repairs are arranged.
Explore roof protectionCrane & Equipment Coordination
Tight access and heavy tree sections can require specialized equipment. Crane support and controlled rigging are reviewed around the job and available resources.
Discuss your situationBuilt around the property
New Orleans tree removal starts with access and surroundings
Closely spaced homes, porches, fences, and limited off-street space can leave little room around a damaged tree. For New Orleans properties, describe what the tree is touching and whether there is an open driveway, side yard, or other route to the work area.
After high winds or heavy rain, water and storm debris may change how a site can be reached. Let us know about flooded sections, blocked streets, overhead utilities, or a property that cannot be entered. The removal sequence and equipment need to match the conditions at the address.
Closely spaced buildings
A tree can cross property lines or rest on more than one roof. Identify every affected structure and the authorized contacts.
Street & yard access
Describe available parking, narrow side yards, fences, and overhead lines before equipment is coordinated.
Water & debris conditions
Share known standing water and blocked entrances so access can be reviewed along with the tree damage.
One clear next step
From the first call to a coordinated response
Storm damage can leave several things competing for your attention. The first conversation helps identify the immediate problem and organize the work around it.
Tell us what happened
Call or send the address, the affected property, and a callback number. Share photos only if you can take them from a safe location.
Review the response
The tree’s position, access, structure damage, and equipment needs help determine the work and available response options.
Confirm the plan
Review the scope, authorization, and scheduling so you know what is being arranged before work starts.
Remove, protect & document
The agreed work moves forward, with a clear handoff for cleanup, temporary roof protection, or remaining repairs.
Tree on the roof?
Plan the removal and what comes next
A tree resting on a house or garage needs a plan that accounts for the building underneath it. Controlled handling, equipment access, and the removal sequence all matter.
Once the tree is removed, the roof may still be open to the weather. Ask about temporary tarping and mitigation alongside the removal so the next step is part of the conversation.
- Tree and limb removal around affected structures
- Crane and rigging review when the job calls for it
- Temporary roof protection considered in the scope
- Debris handling and remaining repair needs identified
For immediate danger to life, call 911 first. Keep clear of damaged structures and unstable trees. Report downed or contacted power lines to the utility; do not approach the hazard for photos.

Ask what documentation will be provided with your service. Coverage and payment decisions remain with your insurer.
- Before-and-after photos when conditions allow
- Visible impact areas and access constraints
- Removal method, equipment, and work performed

New Orleans emergency tree service FAQs
What emergency tree services do you offer in New Orleans?
CAVALTREE coordinates emergency tree removal, tree on structure removal, hazardous tree removal, storm damage cleanup, and roof tarping and mitigation. The work is reviewed around the property, access, equipment, and available crews.
How quickly can a crew reach my New Orleans property?
Call 877-509-4222 with the address and a description of the damage. Timing depends on conditions, access, equipment needs, and available crews. During a major storm, arrival and dispatch are confirmed after the request is reviewed.
Can you review a tree resting across two New Orleans properties?
Yes. Explain which roofs, fences, or other structures are affected and provide the property addresses and authorized contacts. Access and permission for the agreed work need to be coordinated. The removal plan accounts for the tree’s position and the buildings beneath it.
Can roof tarping be coordinated after tree removal?
Temporary roof protection can be reviewed along with the tree removal. Confirm tarping in the agreed scope. Roof condition, weather, access, and crew availability affect the work; permanent roof repairs are arranged separately.
Do you offer regular tree services too?
Yes. You can request tree removal, tree pruning and trimming, stump grinding, arborist services, and forestry mulching. Tell us whether you need urgent storm help or are planning ongoing property care so the request can be routed appropriately.
Do you serve communities around New Orleans?
Requests can be reviewed for Metairie, Kenner, Harahan, River Ridge, Gretna, Marrero, and Chalmette. Include the full property address and any access restrictions. Availability and response timing are confirmed after review.
Can you provide documentation for an insurance claim?
Ask for available damage photos, the removal scope, equipment and access notes, and invoices. Those records can help organize your claim documentation. Your insurer determines coverage and payment.
What should I do if a tree is touching a power line?
Stay clear of the tree, line, and nearby objects. Contact the utility to report the hazard. For injury, fire, collapse, or immediate danger to life, call 911 first. Do not approach an unsafe tree or damaged roof to take photos.
Can a crew work if there is standing water around the tree?
Standing water can affect equipment access and conceal hazards. Describe the conditions from a safe location and mention any electrical concerns. Work and arrival timing depend on the site review, safe access, weather, and available resources; do not enter floodwater to inspect the tree.
