Storm Damage Cleanup in Oregon

Q: A tree company knocked on my door after a storm offering to remove trees immediately. Should I trust them?

Storm chasers show up in force after major storms — many are unlicensed, out-of-state, uninsured, and charge inflated rates for rushed work. An unlicensed arborist who drops a tree on your house may have no insurance to cover the damage. Always verify license and insurance before any tree work. For non-emergency removals, wait a few days and get quotes from established local companies.

Q: How do I know if a tree is actually dangerous or if an arborist is just selling me work?

Get a second opinion from a different ISA-certified arborist. Red flags in a legitimately dangerous tree: significant deadwood in the crown, large trunk cavities, cracks or seams in the main trunk, mushrooms or conks at the base (sign of root rot), significant lean that has increased recently, or a history of lightning strikes. A reputable arborist should show you the specific defects.

Q: Tree removal quotes vary from $600 to $3,500 for the same tree. What explains this?

Tree removal pricing depends on: height, trunk diameter, lean direction and proximity to structures/utilities, access for equipment, and whether stump grinding is included. A 60-foot tree over a house with limited equipment access legitimately costs more than the same tree in an open yard. Get 3 quotes that specify the same scope (include/exclude stump grinding and debris removal).

Q: Do I need my neighbor's permission to trim branches that hang over my property?

You have the legal right to trim branches (and roots) that extend over your property line up to the property line — but only to the extent of what's on your side. You may not enter the neighbor's property or damage the tree's health. If trimming would destabilize or kill the tree, you need the neighbor's agreement. Local ordinances vary, so check with your city for protected tree species.

Q: Should I top my tree to reduce its height?

No — topping (cutting the main trunk or major branches to stubs) is a destructive practice condemned by certified arborists. It creates multiple decay entry points, produces structurally weak fast-growing sprouts, and dramatically shortens the tree's lifespan. Crown reduction (properly removing branches back to lateral branches) achieves height reduction without these harms. If a company recommends topping, find a different arborist.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions in OR

A tree fell on my fence during a storm. Whose insurance pays?

If a tree from your neighbor's yard falls on your fence, your homeowner's insurance typically covers the fence repair (your policy, your claim, your deductible). Your neighbor's insurance is not liable unless the tree was known to be dead or diseased and they were notified in writing and failed to act. Counterintuitive but consistent — each property owner's policy covers damage to their own property.
