Service Details
Emergency capabilities, response procedures, and real-world results
The sections below explain how we respond to emergencies, the types of situations we handle, and what sets our storm response apart.
Real Storm Example – How We Help When Disaster Strikes
November 2023 windstorm, 2:17 a.m. – A massive pine oak in West Bloomfield splits and drops half its crown directly onto a family’s roof and garage. Power lines down, cars trapped, roof leaking, kids scared.
They called us. We answered on the third ring. We arrived at 3:22 a.m. with two bucket trucks, and six crew members. We coordinated with DTE to de-energize the lines, secured the sections off the roof in complete darkness using spotlights, tarped the damaged roof before the rain started again at 5 a.m., removed the entire remaining dangerous tree, ground the stump flush so the driveway was usable by 9 a.m., and had the yard cleaned and blown off by noon.
The homeowner’s insurance adjuster came the next day and said it was the cleanest storm damage site he’d ever seen.
That’s the level of service you get when you call Ivan’s — any time, any weather.

We Work Seamlessly With Your Insurance Company
Most storm damage is covered under your homeowner’s policy with $0 deductible in Michigan if the tree hits a structure. We provide the exact documentation adjusters want: dated photos, detailed line-item estimates, arborist reports when needed. We’ve helped hundreds of customers get fully covered with zero out-of-pocket beyond their deductible.
We Also Handle “Quiet” Emergencies
Not every emergency is a dramatic storm. Sometimes it’s a large dead ash leaning toward your house after Emerald Ash Borer, or a cracked trunk after heavy snow load. If it’s keeping you up at night, it’s an emergency to us. Same 24/7 response.
