When a severe New England storm strikes, finding a dependable emergency tree service in Charlton, MA is critical for protecting your home.

Headquartered right here in Charlton, we can arrive quickly to stabilize your property and prevent further damage for our neighbors here and across Shrewsbury, Natick, and the surrounding towns. Founder Bernie Gauthier ensures every crew reflects our 2001 values of safety and integrity.
High winds and heavy ice can bring down massive hardwoods without warning. Our crews handle the situations storms create most often: trees leaning on or fallen onto homes, trees tangled in power lines, uprooted trunks, and fractured hanging limbs (“widow-makers”) that could drop at any moment. We stabilize and secure the property first, then remove the hazard under controlled rigging even in tight residential spaces so permanent repairs can begin without delay.
Some storm-damaged trees especially large sections resting on a roof or tangled in power lines can’t be safely removed by hand. In those cases, we bring in a crane to lift unstable sections vertically away from your home rather than risk dropping them. See our Crane Tree Removal page for more on how that process works.
First, get everyone out of any affected rooms and stay clear of the area — a fallen tree can shift or cause further structural damage. Don’t go onto the roof or attempt to move any part of the tree yourself. Call B&R at 508.845.6111; we’ll assess the situation, stabilize what we can, and coordinate safe removal.
Call 911 and your utility company first, and treat every downed or contacted line as live, no matter how it looks. Keep people and pets well away from the area. Once the utility company has secured the line, call us to safely remove the tree.
Most homeowner’s policies cover tree removal when a storm causes the tree to fall on a covered structure, though coverage details vary by policy and insurer. It’s worth taking photos of the damage before cleanup begins, since documentation helps with any claim. We can provide a written estimate you can submit to your insurance company if needed.
Not all emergencies involve a tree that has already fallen; some involve hanging limbs that pose an immediate threat. Specifically, our climbers identify “widow-makers” and fractured branches that could drop at any moment. We use advanced rigging to lower these hazards with total control, even in tight residential spaces. We bring this elite care to our neighbors in Shrewsbury, Natick, Charlton, and surrounding towns. By addressing these risks quickly, we prevent catastrophic property impact during the next high-wind event.
