How We Prioritize During a Storm

Our normal tree services and maintenance are suspended during extreme weather or named storms and natural disasters. During those events we prioritize the following work, in this order, based on the level of danger it poses:

1. Trees Blocking Major Roadways

Typically contracted by disaster-relief companies, FEMA subcontractors, municipalities, and state officials. We principally prioritize trees blocking major roadways in Duval and St. Johns Counties.

2. Trees on Roofs

Next, we focus on trees that have fallen on a roof or are creating an immediate hazard to homeowners, power-line crews, and others.

3. Trees Blocking Driveways

Trees fallen on vehicles and/or secondary structures (sheds, chicken coops) are our last priority during a storm.

If you are looking for free or government assistance, please call 911, your state or parish governor’s office, or FEMA directly — we are unable to help with those requests.

XACTIMATE® Estimating Services Available

We estimate using the same software your insurance carrier uses.

A real 904Tree.com XACTIMATE® estimate — the same line-item format your carrier uses.

Insurance Proceeds Billing

On insurance-related emergency work, there is no “get me an estimate.”

Your out-of-pocket cost is your deductible — up to your policy deductible, paid directly to 904Tree.com. Your insurance proceeds cover the balance of the Replacement Cost Value (RCV) your policy pays out for the work. We bill your carrier directly using the same XACTIMATE® software they use.

We Bill All Major Carriers

We work directly with your insurance company so you can focus on your home.

Billing for Emergency Tree Services

During a disaster-related event, 904Tree provides one of two billing options:

A) 100% Insurance-Approved Contracting

  • You sign a Direction to Pay contract authorizing your insurance company to pay us directly — we don’t chase home or business owners for third-party checks. (This is not an Assignment of Benefits; AOBs have been outlawed in FL since 2023.)
  • You sign a Contingency Agreement allowing us to communicate and bill your insurance company directly for the total Replacement Cost Value (RCV) your policy will pay out for the work.
  • Your insurance deductible is paid directly to 904Tree.com at the start of the work. By law it must be paid to us directly unless you already paid it to another contractor for the same claim.

B) Other Forms of Payment

  • Begins with signing a contract to pay by Cash, Check, or Zelle with 20% down (non-refundable) for us to schedule and show up on site.
  • The remaining 80% is due immediately the day the job is completed, or we begin the lien process within 10 business days of completion and report to state officials and governing bodies. #ZeroTolerance
  • You must be the home/business owner (and able to prove it), or you’ll pay 100% of the job up front before we begin, since you are on-site while we work.

Our Standard Emergency Crew — $2,500 / hour

We are a private, for-profit business, which gives us the right to review and refuse any work for safety or financial reasons. Our normal crew setup is billed at $2,500 per hour and includes:

  • 2 groundsmen on site for debris removal
  • 2 to 3 sawyers on site to cut
  • 1 project / safety manager on site
  • 1 hour of service (arrival to departure)
  • 1 — 72' spider-lift machine
  • 1 — 44' bucket truck
  • 1 Dingo and/or excavator to position debris
  • Excessive debris removal is scheduled by us and handled by a third party

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as an emergency?

A tree on a structure or vehicle, a tree blocking a driveway or road, a limb hanging over a walkway, or a tree uprooting toward the house. If you are asking whether it can wait, call us and we will tell you.

Do you respond overnight and on weekends?

Yes, 24 hours a day, every day, at (904) 401-8304.

How does insurance billing work?

We use a Direction to Pay so your carrier pays us directly on covered damage. You pay your deductible. Assignment of Benefits agreements have been outlawed in Florida since 2023, so nobody should be asking you to sign one.

Should I call you or my insurance company first?

Call us first so we can make the property safe, then open your claim. Photograph everything before anything is moved, and call us again when the adjuster is scheduled so we can be on site.

Do you offer free estimates?

Yes — and in many cases we can give you an estimate right over the phone. Just send us the property address or zip code along with a few close-up and far-away photos so we can see:

  • Tree height — include the sky so we can gauge scale
  • Tree size — how wide is the base of the trunk
  • Tree location — front yard, side yard, or backyard
  • Access — is there a gate, fence, vehicles, or anything else in the way

With that information we can often price it remotely. If not, we'll come out to see it in person.

Do you have a service minimum?

Yes. Our tree trimming starts at $675 and tree removal starts at $850. If these price points are not in your budget, we are not the company for you.
