If a tree has come down on a house, car or driveway in Rochester, NY, call Rochester Tree Removal at (585) 210-4762 and say where it landed and whether a wire is involved. Published local storm damage cleanup figures typically run $1,200–$7,500, depending on what the tree is resting on.
Get everyone out of the room under the tree first, and stay clear of any wire touching the trunk or branches. A downed line can energize the whole tree, and wet ground carries it further than you would guess.
Then call (585) 210-4762. The three details that shape the job are what the tree is lying on, whether a wire is in the picture, and whether anyone can still get in or out of the property.
What should I do while I wait for a crew?
Photograph the tree where it fell, from several angles, before anything is moved. Insurers generally want to see the damage as it happened, and a cut-up tree is harder to claim against.
Do not climb onto a roof or porch to inspect. A trunk lying across a structure is often under tension, and when a cut releases it, the load can shift suddenly.

A tree lying in an open yard sits at the low end. A trunk across a roof, or one leaning on another tree, sits at the high end because the cutting has to be sequenced around the load.

Will you cover my part of the Rochester area?
The business lists 20 service areas around Rochester. Give your street address on the call and it can be confirmed there.
Should I cut a fallen tree off my roof myself?
No. A trunk on a roof is usually loaded unevenly, and the first cut can make it swing or drop. Stay out, keep people clear, and call for a crew.
What if a power line is touching the tree?
Treat the tree as live and stay well back. Report the line to the utility, and tell Rochester Tree Removal about it when you call so the job is planned around it.
Is the $1,200–$7,500 figure what I will be charged?
No. It is the range other local providers publish for storm cleanup. Rochester Tree Removal quotes the specific job once it knows the tree's position and what it touches.
