DFW storms don't schedule appointments. Straight-line winds, ice loads, and spring supercells drop trees on roofs, cars, fences, and power drops at whatever hour they please — and every hour a broken tree sits on a structure, the damage compounds. DFW Tree Guys runs true 24/7 emergency response across Fort Worth and the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex: a person answers the phone, a crew rolls, and we're frequently on site within the hour.
Emergency work is the most dangerous work in this trade. Storm-damaged trees are loaded with tension in ways that punish guesswork, and a tree resting on a house has to come off in calculated pieces, not enthusiasm. Our crews are equipped and trained for exactly this: rigging weight off structures, dropping widow-makers safely, and stabilizing what can wait for daylight.
We also think about the claim you're about to file. On request, we document as we work — photos before and during, so your insurance file starts building from the first cut. Need the full claim package? That's our storm damage & insurance documentation service.
What's Included
- 24/7 live answer — nights, weekends, and holidays included
- Trees lifted off roofs, vehicles, fences, and driveways
- Hanging limbs and split leaders brought down before they fall on their own
- Storm-site hazard checks so the next failure doesn't surprise you
- Photo documentation on request for your insurance claim
- Rapid response across Fort Worth and the whole DFW Metroplex
How It Works
- Call — any hour. A real person answers at (817) 502-8203, gets the situation, and gives you an honest ETA.
- Stay clear. Keep everyone away from the tree, downed lines, and anything under load until we arrive.
- We make it safe. Weight comes off structures in controlled sections; hazards overhead come down first.
- Assess what's next. Immediate danger handled, we walk the property with you and flag anything else the storm loosened.
Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you actually get here?
Often within the hour across our Fort Worth and DFW service area. During a major regional storm, response runs on triage — trees on occupied homes come first, and we'll give you a straight ETA either way.
A tree is on my roof — what do I do right now?
Get everyone out from under that part of the house and call us. Don't climb up, and don't let anyone pull at limbs — a loaded tree can shift violently when weight changes.
Does insurance cover emergency tree work?
When a tree damages a covered structure, homeowner's policies usually cover removal from the structure. We document the scene as we work and can build the full claim file — see our storm damage and insurance service.
What about a limb caught in the branches overhead?
That's a widow-maker, and it's an emergency even though nothing has hit the ground yet. They come down without warning. Call us; bringing hangers down safely is routine work for our climbers.
Do you charge extra at night?
Emergency work is priced for the response it requires, and we tell you the number before we start — no surprises on the invoice after a bad night.
