A fallen tree on a house in Atlanta, GA needs experts fast — the wood is under tension, the structure may be compromised, and a wrong cut makes it worse. We lift the weight off cleanly with rigging or a crane, tarp the roof, and document everything for your insurance claim.
Costeño Tree Services removes trees off homes across Atlanta with the rigging and crane experience to lift the weight off cleanly, protect what is still intact, and get your roof covered so the inside stays dry.
This Is an Emergency When
- A tree or large limb has punctured or crushed the roof
- A trunk is resting on the house, garage, or porch
- The ceiling is sagging, cracking, or leaking inside
- A tree is leaning into the house and could shift
- Limbs are tangled in the service drop to your home
- You can see daylight or sky through the ceiling
What Our Tree-on-House Removal Includes
- Scene assessment and a planned removal sequence before any cutting
- Crane or rigging to lift weight off the roof — not release it unpredictably
- Careful dismantling that protects what's still intact
- Same-day emergency tarping of the roof opening
- Thorough photo documentation for your adjuster
- Full debris removal and a safe, secured property
Why Tree-on-House Removal Takes Real Expertise
When a tree lands on a house, the weight is distributed in ways that are not obvious. Cut the wrong section and the trunk can roll, drop, or spring — increasing the damage or injuring the crew. We relieve that tension in the right order, often lifting the mass off with a crane so we are removing weight rather than releasing it unpredictably.
We work in coordination with your priorities: protect the people, stop further damage, then remove the tree. Every move is planned before a saw touches the wood.
Emergency Tarping and Insurance Support
Once the tree is off, an open roof invites water damage with the next rain. We tarp and secure the opening so the interior stays protected until your roofer can make permanent repairs. Fast temporary weatherproofing often prevents thousands in secondary damage.
We document the entire scene — before, during, and after — with photos and itemized notes for your insurance adjuster, and we can bill in coordination with a covered claim. See our insurance claim tree removal service for details.

What Affects the Cost
Tree-on-house removals are complex and priced on the specifics. When it is a covered insurance loss, we document and coordinate to make the claim smooth.
- Size of the tree and how it's resting on the structure
- Whether crane access is required to lift the weight off
- Degree of tension and instability in the wood
- Emergency tarping and temporary weatherproofing needs
- Time of day and speed of response required
Many of these jobs are covered by homeowners insurance. We provide full documentation and can coordinate directly with your adjuster.
