Testimonials
Hear From the Families We've Helped
When the tornado hit, our whole driveway was blocked by a massive oak tree. We couldn't even get an ambulance in if we needed one. Chick with Chainsaw showed up with their team the next morning and had it cleared by lunchtime. They didn't ask for a dime. That one act saved us days of stress and made it possible for the repair crews to finally start their work.
After the flood, we were already drowning in bills. We needed major tree removal, and every quote we got was over $4,000. When Lori and her crew arrived, I just broke down crying. Knowing that someone cared enough to do that kind of hard, dangerous work for free was the biggest gift. They cleared the mess, and we could finally breathe and start rebuilding.
The insurance adjuster hadn't even called us back yet, but Chick with Chainsaw was already in our yard. We had huge, dangerous branches hanging over our kids' rooms. They worked quickly, safely, and professionally. It wasn't just physical labor; they gave us our sense of security back immediately. They are truly the first responders of recovery.
The chaos after the storm felt overwhelming. Everywhere you looked, it was junk and despair. When the volunteers started their chainsaws, it was like they were literally cutting through the hopelessness. They didn't just clear a path for my truck; they cleared a path for my mental health. I’m forever grateful.
