helped first. Then Category II conditions (trees broken on ground but
not affecting safety) will be handled and then Category III (trees with
broken limbs needing repair) will be handled. We move through the storm
depending on severity by stabilizing Category I first, not necessarily
cleaning it all up but recreating a safe environment and then move to the
lesser categories. For this reason final cleanup may take some time. It
simply takes time to move through all situations after a storm. We bill
based on work done and therefore you may receive bills for Category I,
Category II, and Category III. That’s the most organized way for us to
approach this. Why are we telling you this? Well… it’s that time of year
when we New Englanders grit our teeth and cross our fingers.
Hopefully, this will show you how we respond to these situations and also
better enable you to explain situations to us should they arise. As usual,
preparation is extremely helpful. Therefore if you feel you have potential
problems, please let us know soon so that we can help minimize their
effects before a storm arises.

STORM WORK
Storm Damage & Related Emergency Work
Every so often storms strike and cause havoc for all of us. Sometimes it
happens in the cold winter months and sometimes in the warmer
weather. While the contributing factors are often different, the two
results are similar. Danger, frustration and inconvenience abound. For
these reasons we have always felt that a comprehensive approach was
needed. When emergencies happen it reminds us of how a “MASH”
military unit or FEMA would respond.
First, an appraisal is needed-how bad are the conditions? Next, how do
we respond? We categorize conditions after storms. Some of you may
recall during our last hurricane we asked questions like ‘is there imminent
danger to you (a tree on the house or restricting emergency equipment)?
Are there power lines down? Are there tree limbs broken and while not yet
fallen, are they ready to fall on house or garage?
