Tree Down in Orlando: What to Do First

Order of operations matters more than speed-dialing. Power line involved? That call goes to the utility, not a tree crew — no reputable Orlando company touches a line-loaded tree until the utility clears it, and neither should you. Tree on an occupied structure? Get people out first, then call crews. After that, three moves protect your wallet: photograph everything before any cutting (your insurer will ask), get the emergency scope in writing even when it’s fast, and split the work — pay emergency rates for making it safe, standard rates for the cleanup that can wait a week. Urgency carries a real premium over the standard bands above; what drives it is crane time, after-hours crew callout, and tarp/board-up work, all broken down in our emergency cost guide.

On permits: many codes treat imminent-hazard removal differently from planned removal, but that is not a blanket exemption — Orlando’s ordinance detail is on the Orlando tree service page. Document the hazard with photos either way; it answers both the city and the insurer.
