Case Study: Large Maple Tree Overhanging Roof

The Challenge:
A homeowner in Rochester Hills had a massive maple tree leaning over their home. Branches were scraping the roof, causing shingle damage and raising concerns about safety during storms. The tree was too large for standard trimming, and removal posed risks to the house and landscaping.

Our Process:

• Conducted a full evaluation of tree health and structural risks.

• Developed a safe removal plan using a crane to lift large sections.

• Protected the lawn and landscaping with ground mats.

• Coordinated with the homeowner throughout, ensuring clear communication and peace of mind.

The Results:

• Complete removal of the hazardous tree with zero property damage.

• Roof saved from further shingle damage.

• Yard left spotless with all debris removed.

• Homeowner received a clear written estimate and appreciated the honest, professional service.
