down next. Don't guess — get a professional assessment today. Call [(651) 334-9063](tel:+16513349063) for same-day storm assessment, 24/7. [Call Now](tel:+16513349063)[Get Free Estimate](/contact) Fully Licensed & Insured 20+ Years Of Experience 90+ Five-Star Reviews Free Estimates — No Trip Charge The storm passed, but the damage didn't. You're looking at cracked branches hanging over your roof, a leaning trunk that wasn't leaning yesterday, and debris scattered across your yard. Maybe your neighbor's tree is now sitting on your fence. This isn't something you can afford to wait on. One more gust of wind and that damaged tree could come through your window. A Cut Above provides storm assessment in White Bear Lake and the surrounding East Metro — and we can be on your property today to tell you exactly what needs to happen next. ## Signs You Need Storm Assessment After a storm, the most dangerous trees are often the ones that look like they survived. A cracked trunk might hold for a day, a week, or five minutes — there's no way to tell just by looking at it from the ground. Here are the warning signs that mean you need a professional assessment right away: large limbs hanging or caught in the canopy, a trunk that's split or showing new cracks, a tree leaning at an angle it wasn't at before, exposed or heaving roots on one side, bark stripped off in large sections, or any tree touching power lines or structures. Waiting makes things worse. A cracked trunk weakens with every passing hour. A hanging limb gets heavier as moisture collects. And if a damaged tree falls on your home or car, the repair costs jump from hundreds to tens of thousands. Getting a professional out the same day the storm hits is always the smart move. ### Our Storm Assessment Options When we arrive for a storm assessment, we walk your entire property and evaluate every tree that may have been affected. We check for structural cracks, root plate damage, canopy weight imbalance, and signs of internal decay that the storm may have exposed. We also look at proximity — how close damaged trees are to your home, garage, power lines, and your neighbor's property. Based on what we find, we'll give you a clear plan. Some trees can be saved with targeted pruning or [cable bracing](/cable-bracing-white-bear-lake-mn). Others need to come down — and we'll tell you honestly when that's the case. If removal is needed, our [Tree Removal Services](/tree-removal-services-white-bear-lake-mn) team handles everything from felling to cleanup. For limbs that are hanging or caught in the canopy, our [Broken Limb Removal](/broken-limb-removal-white-bear-lake-mn) crew can often take care of it the same day as the assessment. We also help with insurance documentation. If your trees have caused property damage, we can provide written assessments and photos that your insurance company will need for the claims process. We've helped hundreds of homeowners in the Twin Cities navigate storm-related claims. ### Storm Assessment for White Bear Lake Homes and Businesses The East Metro gets hit hard during Minnesota's spring and summer storm season. Straight-line winds, hail, and ice storms regularly damage trees across White Bear Lake, Mahtomedi, Vadnais Heights, Grant, and Birchwood Village. Aging boulevard elms and cottonwoods are especially vulnerable — they look healthy from the outside but have internal decay that makes them likely to split during a storm. Ash trees weakened by the Emerald Ash Borer are another major concern. Trees that are already compromised by EAB don't stand a chance in high winds. Oak Wilt, which has been spreading through Washington County, weakens oaks in a similar way. We serve homeowners in White Bear Lake, Forest Lake, North St. Paul, Oakdale, Woodbury, Roseville, Shoreview, Lake Elmo, Grant, Gem Lake, and the rest of the East Metro. Because we're local, we can respond faster than companies driving in from across the metro. ### What to Expect When you call, we answer after a major storm. We'll ask a few quick questions about what you're seeing and get a crew to your property as fast as possible, usually the same day. Our team walks the property, inspects every affected tree, and gives you a verbal assessment on the spot. If work is needed, you'll get a written estimate with a clear price before we start anything. No surprises. Emergency situations — like a tree on your house or blocking your driveway — get priority scheduling. In most cases, we can start work the same day we assess. ### Why Choose Us for Storm Assessment A Cut Above is registered with the Minnesota Department of Agriculture and fully licensed and insured.
