Snow alone usually isn’t the biggest threat — ice is.
When ice buildup reaches about ¼ inch, trees can suddenly be carrying tens of thousands of pounds of added weight. As it approaches ⅜ inch, trees become rigid, brittle, and far more likely to snap or uproot. Unlike wind damage, these failures can occur without warning.
We’ve worked storm sites where trees continued breaking throughout the day. Once ice damage begins, conditions can become dangerous very quickly.
If a tree falls on your home or property, do not attempt to handle it yourself. These situations involve extreme risk, and in most cases homeowner’s insurance covers storm-related tree damage.
What you should expect from a professional tree service:
✔️ Written contract and documentation
✔️ Direct billing to your insurance company
✔️ No upfront payment when filing a claim (other than your deductible)
✔️ No gimmicks or “forgiven deductible” promises
✔️ No asking you to write a check while guaranteeing reimbursement
At Liberty Tree Experts, we use a proven process, experienced crews, and professional equipment to handle storm damage safely and correctly.
On your worst day, you deserve a company that treats you right.
Stay safe — and reach out if you need us.
