A storm is the most work a tree company will see all year, and the easiest way to lose money. We give you the plan: when to go, which jobs to take, how to stage your crews, how to cover the gap before the insurance money lands, and how to get every claim paid in full.
Decide go or no-go before the first mile. Track the storm, pick the landing zone, and stage just outside the damage where fuel, power, and a place to sleep still exist.
Two questions decide whether a door is worth knocking: is the tree on a structure, and is the owner there to sign. Everything else gets walked past.
What to bring, what to rent on the ground, and when a crane earns its spot. Mats, haul, chipper, fuel, and where the crew sleeps are planned before anyone leaves.
Expenses come now. Insurance money comes later. You collect the deductible at signing, know what the carrier timeline looks like, and carry enough runway to get there.
Plain words for the door: why the tree has to come off today, what their deductible is, and how the claim works. The homeowner stays on your side when the carrier pushes back.
Every job's claim runs through Claims Reaper, the software we built for our own tree company. The packet goes in complete, the follow-ups go out on schedule, and it all happens by email.
Claims Reaper handles the paperwork side of a storm job so you can stay on the tree. In many cases the job is billed to the homeowner's insurer, and we teach you the questions that get claims approved. You get paid more, you get paid faster, and you never spend an afternoon on hold with an insurance company. Everything goes by email.
