Emergency Tree Removal After Contractor Mishap | Edmond, OK
At Mercer Tree Service, we’re often called when a job goes wrong — and this was one of those cases. Around 2 p.m. on a Tuesday, we received a call from the owner of another tree service whose crew had experienced a mishap, leaving a large tree resting on a customer’s roof.
By 4 p.m., our certified arborist team was on site with a crane, skid steer, and full support crew to safely dismantle the tree piece by piece. Because of the tree’s size and the delicate nature of the situation, we worked methodically to lift sections off the home without causing additional damage.
Once we reached the trunk, we used the skid steer to support and stabilize the remaining log as we removed the final piece resting on the roof. By 7 p.m., the property was completely cleared, and the homeowner’s roof was safe and free of debris.
