If a tree is on your house, your car, your power lines, or hanging over any of the above, you need someone on the ground fast. Call us. We are an ISA-certified family-owned tree company based outside Cary, and we respond to emergency calls across Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Morrisville, Holly Springs, and Fuquay-Varina.
Our commitment: typically on-site within 2 hours of your call for genuine emergencies in our service area. In the middle of a widespread storm event that stretches, and we will tell you a realistic window when you call rather than make a promise we cannot keep.
When to call us
A tree has fallen on a house, garage, car, deck, fence, or outbuilding
A tree is leaning hard after a storm and threatens a structure
A limb is hung up in another tree ("widowmaker") over a walkway or driveway
A split trunk after wind, ice, or lightning
A tree is tangled in power lines (call the power company first; we coordinate with Duke Energy on removal after de-energizing)
A hurricane remnant, nor'easter, or ice storm has left you with debris you cannot safely clear
What we do on an emergency call
Our expertise covers a wide range of emergency tree services, ensuring rapid mitigation of risks and damages:
The first job is to stabilize the scene, not rush equipment at it.
01
Assess the hazard on arrival
We do not touch energized lines. We wait for Duke Energy to de-energize, then we work.
02
Coordinate with your utility if lines are involved
For complex removals near structures we use a crane for controlled pick-and-lift rather than freefall cutting.
03
Remove the tree with the right tool for the risk
Photos, cause of damage, species, approximate age, and an arborist statement if your carrier wants one.
04
Document everything for insurance
Clean up to a reasonable level and give you a quote for stump grinding and site restoration as a follow-on job.
05
Stump and Debris Removal
Be Prepared for Any Weather
Central North Carolina's weather can be as beautiful as it is volatile, with ice storms, hurricanes, and severe thunderstorms presenting real threats to your property. Apex Tree Company is your reliable partner, ready to tackle emergency tree removals and safeguard your home or business against nature's unpredictability.
What to do right now, before we get there
Get everyone away from the tree and any downed line
Call 911 for injuries, call Duke Energy at 800.769.3766 for power lines
Do not go on a roof or under a hung limb to "check"
Take photos from a safe distance for your insurance claim
Insurance
We work with all major homeowner insurance carriers, including State Farm, Nationwide, Allstate, USAA, Erie, and Travelers. Jonathan Gallant, our ISA Certified Arborist, can provide the written arborist statement your carrier requires. In practice most Triangle-area claims for tree damage are straightforward once you have photographs, a cause-of-damage note, and a licensed estimate. We will walk you through it.
In times of crisis, trust Apex Tree Company to restore safety and order to your property with our emergency tree services. Contact us day or night for immediate assistance and experience the peace of mind that comes with professional, reliable service.
Why Choose Apex Tree Company
Professional stump grinding offers numerous benefits over DIY methods:
Storms we have worked through
Central North Carolina is beautiful and unstable in roughly equal measure. Tropical Storm Ophelia (September 2023) dropped trees across the Triangle. Hurricane Helene (September 2024) mostly hit western NC but we still fielded calls in Wake County. Ice events every two or three winters do predictable damage to loblolly pines and overgrown Bradford pears. We know which species fail first and we plan the work around that.
