Storm Damage Cleanup Across San Miguel & Mora Counties

Northern New Mexico weather brings a range of storm damage — we handle all of it.

Wind Damage

High winds snap limbs and topple weakened trees with little warning.

Heavy Snow

Wet, heavy snow loads branches beyond what they can hold, especially on evergreens.

Ice Storms

Ice coats branches with added weight that cracks limbs and splits trunks.

Lightning Damage

A direct strike can split a tree instantly or leave hidden internal damage that fails later.

Broken Limbs

Cracked or hanging limbs left in the canopy stay dangerous until they are safely brought down.

Property Protection

We work carefully around roofs, fences, vehicles, and landscaping during every storm cleanup.

Does Homeowners Insurance Cover Emergency Tree Removal?

Coverage depends on what the tree damaged — here's the general rule of thumb.

Typically Covered

Most homeowners insurance policies cover tree removal when a tree falls on an insured structure.

  • A tree that falls on your house, garage, or another structure
  • A tree that damages a fence, shed, or vehicle
  • Debris removal is often included alongside structural repair

Often Not Covered

Coverage gets less certain once a tree hasn't damaged anything insured.

  • A tree that falls in the yard without hitting a structure
  • Removing a hazardous tree before it falls, as preventative maintenance
  • Damage from a tree that was already dead or neglected, in some policies

Every policy is different, so it's always worth calling your insurance company to confirm. When you work with Timberline, we document the damage, provide detailed invoices, and give you what you need to file a claim with confidence.

What to Do When a Tree Falls on Your House

Stay calm and work through these steps in order.

  1. 1

    Get Everyone to Safety

    Move family, pets, and anyone nearby away from the tree and any hanging limbs or downed power lines.

  2. 2

    Call 911 If Necessary

    If anyone is hurt, power lines are involved, or the situation is dangerous, call 911 first.

  3. 3

    Call Timberline Immediately

    We answer 24/7 and can walk you through next steps over the phone while we dispatch a crew.

  4. 4

    Document the Damage

    Take photos and video of the tree and any damage before anything is moved, if it is safe to do so.

  5. 5

    Contact Your Insurance

    Start your claim and let them know a professional crew is handling the removal.

  6. 6

    We'll Handle the Cleanup

    From removal to debris haul-away, we take care of the rest so you can focus on your family and home.

How to Prevent Storm Damage

The best emergency call is the one you never have to make.

  • Routine Inspections

    A yearly look at your trees catches weak limbs, decay, and lean before a storm finds them for you.

  • Regular Tree Trimming

    Thinning a dense canopy reduces wind resistance and lowers the chance of broken limbs.

  • Removing Hazardous Trees

    A dead, leaning, or diseased tree near your home is far cheaper to remove now than after it falls.

  • Dead Limb Removal

    Dead branches are the first to break in wind and snow — clearing them reduces risk year-round.

  • Preventative Maintenance

    A standing maintenance plan catches problems early and is almost always cheaper than emergency work.

It depends on the tree, but a few general principles usually apply.

  • A healthy tree that falls during a storm is generally considered an 'act of nature,' and the affected property owner's own insurance typically covers it
  • A dead or clearly hazardous tree that was known about beforehand can shift responsibility to the tree's owner
  • Trees growing directly on a property line are often treated as a shared responsibility
  • Insurance companies can sort out the details — the immediate priority is getting the tree removed safely
