What a storm-damage visitor needs
Someone looking at a tree across the driveway wants one thing, so the page must show your number, a safety warning and whether you handle this kind of job. Before the call button, one rule: stay away from downed lines and call the utility, then call you.
From there, the goal is a quick, useful request, so your crew knows what they are walking into before they arrive.
Storm tools on the page
- Weather alerts by address: pulls current National Weather Service alerts for the address entered.
- Tree hazard check: a from-the-ground checklist (leaning, cracks, rot, dead limbs) with a recommendation and a power-line warning.
- Photo request: you see the job before you send a crew.
- AI tools: included with Website + Marketing ($699/month), or quoted separately for the $399 Website. They answer from business details you approve, within monthly usage limits.

Covering Chicago usually means covering Chicagoland too, and requests from Naperville or Evanston are easier to spot when those towns have pages of their own.
Severe thunderstorms and the occasional tornado bring down limbs and whole trees around Chicago, often with little warning. An emergency page that works on a phone, with the power-line warning first, catches the calls that come in once the storm passes.
Heavy, wet snow breaks limbs around Chicago, especially when it arrives while trees still hold leaves. A snow-damage page and a working call button cover those mornings.
Emerald ash borer has left many dead and declining ash trees across this part of the country, and dead ash becomes brittle and dangerous. A hazard-tree page for Chicago explains why those trees come down in storms.

What if I cannot take every storm call?
Yes, through the form: customers send the address, what is damaged and a picture, so you can call back the urgent jobs first.
What do you say about insurance on storm pages?
Just what is useful and true. We suggest customers photograph the damage before work starts, and leaves coverage questions to the customer's insurer.
