36 Years of Storm Cleanup Experience
The Right Equipment for the Worst Situations

Robert's 10 years of large-scale tree work at the University of Alabama campus means he has managed the kind of complex, high-risk situations that most local crews have never encountered. That depth of field experience translates directly into safer, faster storm cleanup for your property.

Storm Cleanup Services You Can Count On
One of the biggest risks after a storm is hiring an uninsured crew to handle fallen tree removal near a structure. If something goes wrong, the liability lands on you. RF Tree Services is fully licensed and insured for large-scale removals near homes, vehicles, and outbuildings. Every estimate is given by Robert himself, with no pressure and no runaround. The crew's standard is to leave your property cleaner than they found it, which means debris is hauled away and the site is restored, not just the tree cut and left in pieces on your lawn.

Pricing for storm cleanup is not listed publicly, as each job varies based on tree size, location, proximity to structures, volume of debris, and equipment required. Robert Finnen provides every estimate personally, with no pressure and no obligation. Because safe assessment requires an on-site evaluation, a quote cannot be accurately given from a photo alone. Estimates are free, and Robert stands behind every number he gives.
