A tree came down on your roof. A storm split a 60-foot oak, and half of it is blocking your driveway. A limb landed on your fence at 2 a.m., and you do not know who to call. Redwood Tree Service provides 24/7 emergency tree service and fallen tree removal across Gowanda and all of Erie County. Our crew brings 25 years of combined experience, the owner supervises every job, and we do not leave your property until the hazard is cleared and the area is clean.

If a tree is down on your home, vehicle, or blocking access right now, do not wait. We answer around the clock, dispatch fast, and work through the night when the situation demands it.

When You Need Emergency Tree Service in Gowanda

Emergency tree service is not only for trees that have already fallen. Some situations require immediate attention before a tree fails completely.

Call us right away if:

  • A tree or large branch has fallen on your home, garage, or vehicle
  • A storm-damaged tree is hanging over a structure
  •  The tree is leaning suddenly after heavy wind or rain
  • A large limb is suspended above your driveway or entry area
  • Saturated soil has weakened the tree’s root system
  •  A tree is in contact with a utility line

If a tree is touching a power line, stay away and call 911 or your utility provider first. Once the line is safe, we can remove the tree and clear the hazard.

Storms in Erie County regularly cause tree failures due to lake-effect snow, strong winds, and ice storms, which is why fast emergency response is often necessary.

What Our Emergency Tree and Fallen Tree Removal Service Includes

Emergency response covers the full scope of the immediate hazard. We do not do a partial job and leave you to manage the rest.

What is included in every emergency response:

  • Immediate hazard assessment on arrival
  • Safe removal of the fallen or hanging tree or limb from the structure, vehicle, or access point
  • Crane-assisted removal when the tree position makes ground-based cutting unsafe
  • Tarping of damaged roof areas when a tree has penetrated the structure
  • Complete debris removal from the impact zone
  • Site documentation for insurance purposes
  • Coordination with your insurance carrier if filing a claim

What may be quoted separately after stabilization:

  • Full stump grinding once the emergency is resolved
  • Broader land clearing if multiple trees came down across the property
  • Structural assessment referrals for damaged outbuildings or fencing

If your homeowner’s insurance covers fallen tree removal, we work directly with your carrier. We require no cash down on insurance-billed jobs.

Our Emergency Response Process

Speed matters in an emergency. So does doing the work safely. We never sacrifice one for the other.

Step 1. Immediate Phone Assessment: When you call (716) 703-5557, we ask you a few fast questions to understand the hazard level, whether utilities are involved, and what equipment we need to bring.

Step 2. Rapid Dispatch: We dispatch the right crew and equipment for your specific situation. For trees on structures, we bring crane capability. For post-storm multi-tree events, we bring a full crew.

Step 3. On-Site Hazard Evaluation: The owner assesses the scene on arrival. We identify all secondary hazards, including hanging limbs, unstable root plates, and any utility contact, before a single cut is made.

Step 4. Safe Removal with Proper Equipment. We remove the tree section by section, using cranes and rigging where necessary to protect the structure underneath. Nothing is rushed in a way that creates additional damage.

Step 5. Debris Removal and Site Stabilization: All debris is removed from the impact zone. If the tree penetrated your roof, we will tarp the area before we leave.

Step 6. Insurance Documentation and Walkthrough: We provide documentation suitable for your insurance claim and walk the site with you before we leave.

Call (716) 703-5557 right now. We respond 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Emergency Tree Removal Cost in Gowanda: What to Expect

Emergency tree removal costs more than scheduled removal, and any contractor who tells you otherwise is not being straight with you. After-hours response, rapid dispatch, and crane deployment on short notice all carry real costs.

Factors that affect your emergency quote:

  • Time of day and day of week: Overnight and weekend response carries a higher rate than daytime weekday work
  • Tree size and position: A 40-foot tree resting on a detached garage is a different job than an 80-foot oak through a living room roof
  • Equipment required: Crane-assisted emergency removal costs more than ground-based cutting, but is often the only safe option when a tree is on a structure
  • Debris volume: Multi-tree storm events with large debris fields take significantly more time to clear
  • Roof tarping: If the tree penetrated your roof, tarping before rain arrives adds to the immediate job cost but protects against far greater interior damage
  • Insurance coverage: If your removal is a covered insurance event, we bill the carrier directly and require no cash down from you

New customers receive $100 off same-day service. We do not take advantage of emergency situations with inflated pricing. What we quote is what you pay.

Call (716) 703-5557 for immediate response and a straight quote on arrival.

Why Erie County Storm Events Create So Many Emergency Calls

Western New York experiences some of the most demanding winter weather in the state. Lake Erie produces heavy lake effect snow that accumulates quickly on tree canopies.

When wet snow loads onto branches, the extra weight can snap limbs or cause entire trees to fall. Ice storms also create dangerous conditions by coating branches in thick ice that adds significant weight.

Strong wind events during spring and fall storms can also uproot trees, especially when the soil is saturated from heavy rain.

Another factor across Erie County is the large number of aging trees on residential properties. Many were planted decades ago and have never been professionally evaluated. When severe weather hits, these mature trees are often the first to fail.

Routine trimming and inspections help reduce risk, but when storms hit unexpectedly, emergency removal is often necessary.
