When the clouds roll away after a particularly strong springtime storm, the first inclination for many homeowners to to step outside and survey the damage left behind.
You might even hold your breath as you head out the front door.
No matter the damage — minimal or downright frightening — it immediately becomes time for storm cleanup. So, when do you clean up with your own two hands and when do you call a professional?
You can do it yourself when:
- Small branches have fallen from trees into your yard or flower beds. A little sweat and time can take care of that.
- A small tree that you’ve recently planted comes out of the ground, roots and all. It could possibly be replanted.
- Leaves and small debris have accumulated in your yard. Again, a bit of time and work on your part can clean that right up.
Call a professional when:
- Branches have fallen on the roof, your vehicles or utility lines. Be sure to take pictures for insurance purposes before the work gets started. Don’t try to move these branches on your own. Think safety first!
- An old, established tree breaks off leaving a large stump. Stumps can create hazards in your yard. Our team can even turn that tree into firewood for the winter months.
- You just don’t want to do it yourself. Our professional team is experienced and ready to help you with post-storm cleanup. We’ll treat your home as well as we treat our own.
