Hurricane Tree Experts — Long Island
Long Island's hurricane tree damage specialists. ISA-certified arborists with documented experience through Superstorm Sandy, Hurricane Isaias, and every major storm event since 2009. Emergency response, insurance documentation, and complete post-hurricane cleanup across Nassau and Suffolk County.
What “hurricane tree experts” means on Long Island
When Long Island homeowners search for “hurricane tree experts inc” or “hurricane tree experts,” they are looking for a tree company with real hurricane experience — not a crew that handles routine trimming and calls itself a storm specialist. Hurricane tree work requires specific capabilities that most tree services do not have: aerial lift equipment staged for rapid deployment, crews trained in working near energized utility lines, insurance documentation expertise, and the organizational capacity to manage multi-property operations across entire neighborhoods.
Long Island Tree Pros has been that company since 2009. We built our storm response capability through the most destructive events in Long Island history — and we maintain it year-round, not just during hurricane season.
Our hurricane and storm response history on Long Island
Superstorm Sandy
11 weeks of continuous 6-day operations across Nassau and Suffolk County. Cleared hundreds of trees from structures, roads, and utility lines. Full insurance documentation for every job.
Hurricane Isaias
Tropical storm winds brought down mature trees across Long Island. Deployed multiple crews within 24 hours of passage. Coordinated with PSEG Long Island on utility-adjacent removals.
Nor'easters & microbursts
Annual response to winter nor'easters, ice storms, and summer microbursts. Each event produces 30–60 emergency calls across our coverage area.
Spring storm season
Elevated risk due to above-average soil saturation. Pre-season assessments available for hurricane-vulnerable trees on Long Island properties.
Hurricane tree expert services
Hurricane tree removal
Complete removal of trees brought down by hurricane winds. Sectional cutting for trees on structures. Stump grinding included if needed.
Pre-hurricane tree assessment
ISA-certified arborist identifies hurricane-vulnerable trees — weak unions, codominant stems, root plate issues, hazard species — before the storm hits.
Post-hurricane cleanup
Full property cleanup after hurricane passage. Fallen trees, hanging limbs, debris chipping, and haul-away. We leave the property clean.
Insurance documentation
Written arborist reports, photos, itemized cost breakdowns. Formatted for insurance adjusters at State Farm, Allstate, Liberty Mutual, USAA, and others.
PSEG utility coordination
Trees on or near power lines after a hurricane require PSEG Long Island coordination. We manage that process and maintain safe working protocols around energized lines.
Multi-property operations
HOAs, municipalities, and property managers: we deploy multiple crews for neighborhood-wide or development-wide post-hurricane cleanup operations.

How our hurricane tree experts handle post-storm cleanup
Call for emergency assessment
Contact us immediately after a hurricane passes Long Island. Describe the damage — tree on structure, blocked access, hanging limbs — and we triage based on severity.
On-site damage assessment
Our ISA-certified arborist assesses every damaged tree on your property, documenting hazards, structural contact, and hidden damage in remaining trees.
Insurance documentation
We photograph all damage, prepare written arborist reports with itemized cost breakdowns, and provide documentation formatted for insurance adjuster review.
Safe removal and cleanup
Our crew removes fallen trees, clears hanging limbs, sections and hauls debris, and chips branches on-site. Trees on structures are carefully sectioned to prevent further damage.
Post-storm tree assessment
After cleanup, our arborist walks the entire property to identify hidden storm damage — cracked trunks, torn root systems, split branch unions — in trees that are still standing.

Frequently asked questions — hurricane tree experts
What does a hurricane tree expert do differently than a regular tree service?+
A hurricane tree expert has documented experience working through actual hurricane events — not just routine removals. This means experience with multi-property coordination, PSEG Long Island utility-line hazards, insurance adjuster documentation, aerial lift operations in debris-heavy environments, and the ability to triage dozens of calls simultaneously. Long Island Tree Pros has worked through Superstorm Sandy (2012), Hurricane Isaias (2020), and every major nor'easter since 2009.
How much does hurricane tree removal cost on Long Island?+
Hurricane tree removal on Long Island typically costs $500–$5,000+ per tree depending on size, access, structural involvement, and urgency. Emergency calls during active storm events carry a premium. Trees on structures (roofs, garages, fences) are on the higher end due to the care required to avoid further damage. We provide full documentation for insurance claims — most homeowner policies cover tree removal when the tree damages a covered structure.
Do you work with insurance companies after hurricane damage?+
Yes. We have produced written arborist reports accepted by all major homeowner's insurance carriers operating on Long Island — State Farm, Allstate, Liberty Mutual, USAA, Travelers, and others. Our ISA-certified arborist provides itemized damage assessments with photos, descriptions, and cost breakdowns that adjusters require. We've handled hundreds of insurance-documented storm jobs since 2009.
What areas of Long Island do you cover for hurricane tree emergencies?+
We cover all of Nassau County and Suffolk County for hurricane and storm emergencies. This includes every town and village from Great Neck to Montauk. Our primary response zones include Hempstead (11550, 11551), Huntington (11743, 11746), Smithtown (11787), Babylon (11702, 11703), Islip (11751, 11769), Glen Cove (11542), Oyster Bay (11771), and all surrounding ZIP codes. We stage equipment in both counties for rapid post-storm deployment.
How quickly can you respond after a hurricane hits Long Island?+
We mobilize cleanup crews within 12–24 hours of conditions clearing. Active hazards — trees on structures, blocked emergency access, utility-line contact — get priority same-day or next-day response. During major events like Sandy, we ran continuous 6-day-a-week operations for 11 weeks. We keep aerial lift equipment, chainsaws, chippers, and crew trucks staged year-round specifically for storm response.
Should I get trees assessed before hurricane season on Long Island?+
Absolutely. Pre-hurricane season assessment is one of the most effective things a Long Island homeowner can do. Our ISA-certified arborist identifies trees with structural defects — codominant stems, included bark, root plate compromise, dead leaders, and species prone to storm failure (silver maple, Bradford pear, Norway maple). Removing or reducing high-risk trees before a hurricane is significantly cheaper than emergency removal after one.
What is the difference between hurricane tree experts and emergency tree service?+
Emergency tree service covers any urgent tree situation — a branch falls on your car, a tree leans after a wind event, a limb threatens a walkway. Hurricane tree experts specialize in the scale and complexity of hurricane-specific damage: dozens of trees down per neighborhood, utility coordination, insurance documentation for mass events, multi-day operations, and the equipment staging required for large-scale cleanup. We provide both services.
