Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What should I do immediately after a storm?

Ensure everyone is safe and away from damaged trees. Avoid touching or moving downed trees near power lines; contact your utility company. If there is an immediate hazard, call Fts Tree Service at (320) 808-9045 for emergency response.

Will my homeowner’s insurance cover tree removal after a storm?

Many policies cover storm-related tree damage, but coverage depends on the specifics of your policy. We can help document damage for claims and provide written reports for adjusters.

How quickly can you respond?

Response times depend on severity and demand. Life-safety situations are prioritized. Call (320) 808-9045 and provide details; we will dispatch crews as quickly as possible.
