Full debris removal and hazard clearing after the storm.
Creative Tree & Stump LLC is a Brighton, CO-based tree removal company serving 22 communities across Adams, Weld, Jefferson, Boulder, Broomfield, and Denver counties. Shawn Brandau, an ISA Certified Arborist working the Front Range since 1991, runs every cleanup, and the company is fully insured for the heavy hauling and removal storm work involves. After a big event, out-of-town crews flood the area chasing easy work; we are local, here year-round, and accountable long after the debris is gone.
Cleanup follows a safety-first order. Before any debris is touched, we deal with what is still dangerous — leaners with heaving roots, cracked limbs hung up in the canopy, and anything near a power line, which the utility must de-energize first. Only once the standing hazards are controlled do we move to the ground debris, so nobody is working under a limb that could still come down. Skipping that order is how a routine cleanup turns into a second emergency.
We also recommend photographing the damage before it is moved, while everything is where the storm left it. That record matters if you file an insurance claim, and it costs you nothing to take a few pictures first. From there, we work through the property methodically rather than just grabbing the easy material near the curb, so you are not left with a half-finished yard and a pile of debris no one wants to deal with.
The bulk of cleanup is handling what came down. We remove downed trees and broken limbs, cut firewood-length and stack it if you want to keep the wood, and chip the brush on site or haul it all away — your choice. Larger trunks and root balls are loaded out with the right equipment rather than left for you to deal with, and we rake and clear the work area before we leave. If you would rather keep the wood for the fireplace, we cut it to the length you ask for and stack it neatly where you want it.
Where a structure is exposed, we can tarp a roof opening or secure a damaged fence line to limit further weather damage until permanent repairs happen. Across Commerce City and the wider metro, this full-service approach is the difference between a yard that is genuinely cleaned up and one that just had the worst limbs dragged off.
When storm damage involves a structure, your homeowners policy often helps cover the cleanup and removal — and good documentation makes the claim go smoothly. We photograph the damage, provide a written assessment of what failed, and itemize the work on a clear invoice you can hand straight to your adjuster. If it helps, we will talk with the adjuster directly about the scope of work.
Coverage depends on your policy and the specifics of the event, so we never promise what an insurer will pay — but we make sure you have everything a claim needs. Being fully insured ourselves also means you are covered if anything is damaged during the cleanup, which a storm-chasing crew passing through town cannot offer. We provide storm cleanup across all 22 of the communities we serve.
Shawn Brandau has cleaned up after Front Range storms since 1991 — an ISA Certified Arborist on site, full insurance on every job, and a crew that leaves your property genuinely usable again.
Removing downed trees and limbs, cutting and stacking any wood you want to keep, chipping or hauling the rest, and raking the area clean. We can also tarp a damaged roof or secure a fence to prevent further weather damage while you arrange permanent repairs.
Both options are available. We can chip brush on site and leave it as mulch, or haul everything away, including large trunks and root balls. Most homeowners have us remove it all so nothing is left behind, but keeping the wood for firewood is a popular option too, and we will split and stack it where you want if you ask.
Yes. Photograph the damage where the storm left it, before anything is moved, in case you file an insurance claim. We add our own documentation and an itemized invoice to support the claim.
We schedule cleanup as fast as conditions and safety allow, prioritizing standing hazards and blocked access first. During a major event we work through calls in order of danger, then complete full cleanups as crews free up. We keep you posted on timing rather than leaving you guessing.
Often, when a tree damages a structure, garage, fence or vehicle. Coverage varies by policy, so we provide photos, a written assessment and an itemized invoice, and can coordinate with your adjuster to support the claim from start to finish.
