Do you cut down damaged trees?

No — tree work is a separate trade. Once a tree service has the wood on the ground, or if a limb is already down, we handle the haul-away.

What about fuel or chemicals that spilled from the shed?

Hazardous liquids — fuel, pesticides, solvents — can't ride in our truck. Ulster County residents can route those through UCRRA's household hazardous waste program; we'll point you to the closest drop-off.

How soon can you come after a storm?

Open 7 days, 5 AM to 11 PM. Post-storm weeks are busy, so calling early is the best way to get into the schedule — same-day pickup is often available when routes allow.

Do you work with insurance claims?

We provide an itemized receipt of what was hauled from the property, which most homeowners' insurance adjusters accept as documentation for the cleanup portion of a claim.
