When a tree comes down, minutes decide the job.
Storm calls come in a flood, all at once, at every hour — and the crew that answers first gets the work. We handle the surge 24/7, capture the details safely, and book the emergency. You run the saws, not the phones.

A tree-on-the-house call at midnight is the biggest job of the month — if your phone gets answered.
What's leaking, in Tree & Storm numbers
Storm work is won by whoever answers first; after-hours calls spike right when the storm hits, and within 5 minutes you're 100x more likely to reach the lead (MIT/InsideSales, 2007).

A typical Tree & Storm service call is worth about $750 (an after-hours call, closer to $1,200; a replacement, $2,500). Recover just one missed job a week and that's about $3,000/month back in your pocket — the kind of number the missed-call estimate estimates for your actual phone.
Illustration using industry-benchmark averages, not a promise. Tickets: Angi/HomeAdvisor (2025–2026) — removal ~$750, emergency ~$1,200, large/storm ~$2,500. Leakage uses conservative cross-trade floors (tree/storm skews far more after-hours post-storm; we hold the floor).
We triage Tree & Storm calls the way you would
The front office knows the difference between an emergency and a routine job — because it's tuned to your trade, not a generic script.
- emergencytree on house / car / power line
A tree on a structure or a power line is an emergency. If it's on a power line, tell them to stay clear and call the utility/911 first; then book the earliest slot available and tell them the team will confirm the crew and the timing.
- emergencytree down / blocking driveway or road after a storm
Treat it as urgent — get the address and whether anyone's access or safety is blocked, book the earliest slot available, and note if a crane/large equipment may be needed.
- urgentleaning / hanging limb / storm-weakened tree
A leaning or damaged tree can fall next storm — book within a day or two; note proximity to the house/lines.
- standardtrimming / planned removal / quote
Schedule the estimate into the next standard window; note tree size and access.
Ready for your busy season
Storm season — high winds and thunderstorms drop trees and limbs; lead with 24/7 emergency response and fast dispatch.
Winter ice/snow load — heavy ice snaps limbs and topples weakened trees; promote pre-winter hazard-tree removal.
A Kalamazoo storm drops a maple onto a garage overnight — Pocket Funnel answers at 2am, gets the address and access details, and books the crew while your competitors' phones ring out.
