Storm-Damaged Cottonwood Removal in Minneapolis

A severe storm rolled through the Minneapolis area and left this homeowner with a serious problem - a massive cottonwood limb had snapped and come down directly onto the roof. That's not something you can ignore or wait on. We got the call and made getting out there our top priority.

Cottonwoods are tricky trees. They grow fast and look impressive, but the wood is brittle. High winds exploit that weakness quickly. Once a limb like this fails, the rest of the tree becomes a question mark hanging over your home every time the wind picks up. After pulling the fallen limb and taking a hard look at what was left standing, the answer was clear - the whole tree had to come down.

We took it down in sections, working carefully to protect the roof, the yard, and everything around it. It's a methodical process. There's no rushing it when a damaged tree is that close to a structure. By the end of the day, what had been a looming hazard over the roofline was gone - stump and all.

Storm damage puts homeowners in a tough spot. You're already stressed, and now you've got a damaged tree making every windy night feel like a threat. That's exactly the kind of situation we exist to handle. Getting there fast, assessing the risk honestly, and doing the work right - that's the job.
