Veteran-Owned, Family-Operated — Serving Onslow County Since 2013

Godhans Tree Company isn't a national call center. We're your neighbors in Jacksonville, NC, and we've cleared storm damage across Onslow County since 2013. When you call, you get a real local crew that knows the terrain, the tree species, and the storm patterns of coastal North Carolina.

Same-Day & Next-Day Availability

We prioritize emergencies. Most calls are scheduled for the same day or the next morning, and active hazards (trees on homes, blocking access, or near power lines) get moved to the front of the line. Call us first — before the damage spreads, before water gets inside, and before a leaning tree decides to fall on its own.

Will Insurance Cover Storm-Damaged Trees?

In most cases, homeowners insurance covers tree removal when a tree damages a covered structure (home, garage, fence). Coverage typically includes the cost to remove the tree from the structure — not always the full yard cleanup. We document the damage with photos before we start work, provide itemized invoices, and can speak with your adjuster if needed. If you're unsure, snap a few photos, save them, and call us — we'll help you understand what's typically covered and get the hazard removed right away.

Hazardous Tree Removal in Jacksonville, NC

A hazardous tree is one that is likely to fail and has something worth hitting underneath it. That combination — not size, not species — is what moves a tree to the front of our schedule.

Three conditions account for most of what we take down as hazardous work. The first is a tree leaning at a new angle after a storm, which usually means the roots have already let go on one side. The second is a lifted root plate: soil cracked or heaved around the base, a tree still standing only because the remaining roots haven't finished tearing. Those can hold for weeks and then come down on a calm day. The third is a decayed trunk — a tree a climber cannot safely tie into, because the wood that would hold the rigging is shell.

That last one is where guessing gets people hurt, so we measure it. Our resistograph drills a fine needle through the standing trunk and records the wood's density, which tells us whether we're looking at a hazardous tree removal that has to happen now, or a structurally sound tree that can wait for a scheduled visit. Both answers save you money — one by preventing the failure, the other by not removing a tree that didn't need to go.
