Storm and tree damage in Evansville
Arborists and roofers for storm damage.
11 pros in Evansville
Evansville's storm history is mostly about weight and wind. In the January 2009 ice storm, about one inch of ice fell from Evansville south and east, fallen trees and limbs blocked many streets, and a house roof in the city collapsed under ice and snow. Some outages from that storm lasted more than a week. The November 6, 2005 tornado touched down about 25 miles southwest of the city and left a 41-mile path across three southwest Indiana counties. For you, this means storm work here often involves limbs resting on roofs, branches over power lines and several damaged properties competing for the same crews. Before you hire, ask whether the person is insured for tree work and roof work, and ask who will deal with the utility if a limb is touching a line. Get the scope in writing: what is cut, what is hauled away, and whether any roof repair is included.

Before you hire
For a tree near power lines, call your utility first: only a utility-certified arborist should work within 3 m of the wires.
Ask which permits the job needs and who will get them; your municipal building department can tell you before work starts.
Ask about liability insurance and workers’ compensation cover before anyone works on your roof or property.
Questions about hiring in Evansville
What happened to trees and roofs in Evansville's 2009 ice storm?
About one inch of ice fell from Evansville south and east, causing widespread tree damage and numerous power outages. A house roof in the city collapsed under the weight of ice and snow, and fallen trees and limbs blocked many streets. It is a reminder to have heavy limbs checked before winter. National Weather Service Paducah (source, opens in a new tab)
How long can storm outages last in the Evansville area?
After the 2009 ice storm, some outages lasted more than a week. In a later winter storm, more than 60,000 people in Southern Indiana lost power at the peak, with ice-laden limbs over power lines. If a limb is on or near a line, ask the tree crew how they will handle it. Courier & Press (via Yahoo News) (source, opens in a new tab)
What should a tree removal or storm clean-up quote include?
Ask for a written quote that names the address, the trees or limbs to be cut, whether stump grinding is included, and whether debris is hauled away. It should show the start date, proof of insurance, and how any extra work found on the day will be priced and approved.
How do I compare quotes for storm damage work?
Compare like with like: the same trees, the same cleanup, the same roof work. A much shorter quote may leave out hauling or insurance. Ask each business for proof of insurance and references, and ask who is responsible if a falling limb damages your roof, fence or a neighbour's property.
