When a major storm rolls through New Jersey, one of the first things you probably notice afterward is the mess it leaves behind. Broken limbs scattered across the yard, leaning trees that weren’t leaning yesterday, and branches dangling dangerously over your roof or driveway. When it comes to storm-damaged trees, waiting too long or trying to handle it on your own can be a costly mistake.
At Big Foot Tree Service, we’ve seen firsthand how quickly a small issue can turn into a big problem. Here’s why getting professional help right away is so important.
That Tree Might Be More Dangerous Than It Looks
Just because a tree is still standing doesn’t mean it’s safe. A storm can weaken the structure of a tree in ways you can’t always see—internal cracks, partially snapped limbs, or roots that have been loosened underground. These hidden issues can make a tree unpredictable, especially in windy conditions.
Our team is trained to spot these risks and know how to manage them safely. We use the right tools and techniques to assess the damage without putting you, your family, or your property in danger.
Waiting Could Make Things Worse
One of the biggest mistakes we see homeowners make is assuming the tree will “heal” on its own or that they can just deal with it when they have more time. But time often makes the damage worse. A cracked limb might survive a storm, but the next windy day could bring it crashing down. Moisture can seep into exposed wounds and lead to rot, disease, or pest infestations.
When you call us right away, we can help stop that downward spiral. Whether it’s trimming damaged branches or safely removing a tree that’s too far gone, fast action gives you better options and often saves you money in the long run.
Property Damage Can Add Up Quickly
A fallen tree or even a large limb can cause major damage—flattening fences, smashing cars, damaging roofs, and even cutting off power. And if that tree happens to land on a neighbor’s property, things can get even more complicated.
Having your trees inspected and taken care of right after a storm is one of the best ways to prevent these headaches. Our crew at Big Foot Tree Service responds quickly to emergency calls throughout Northern New Jersey, and we’re equipped with cranes and other specialized gear to handle even the toughest jobs.
We Can Help with Insurance, Too
If your home or property was damaged in the storm, you’re probably dealing with insurance paperwork—and it can be a lot. When you work with a licensed, insured tree service like ours, we’ll document the damage, provide written estimates, and help make the claims process easier.
Insurance companies want clear, professional assessments, and we’ve helped plenty of customers get the support they need after a storm.
Don’t Risk Your Safety
Grabbing a chainsaw and trying to take care of things yourself might seem like a good idea but tree work is dangerous, especially after a storm. Unstable trees, hidden power lines, and heavy branches are no joke. It’s just not worth the risk.
Instead, trust the pros. Big Foot Tree Service is registered with the New Jersey State Board of Tree Experts, fully licensed, and fully insured. We know how to handle storm damage safely and efficiently so you can get back to normal faster.
