Emergency Storm Damage Service in Belle Mead, NJ

When a nor'easter takes down the eighty-foot oak in your front yard at 2 a.m., you don't need a call center — you need Joe Hamlett's cell phone. Since 1994, Hamlett's Tree Service has been the crew Somerset and Mercer County homeowners call first when the wind stops and the damage starts. We answer 24/7, we mobilize fast, and we get there with the crew, saws, and rigging needed to actually solve the problem — not just tarp it.

Storm work is different from planned tree work. There's usually a compromised structure underneath the tree, live wires nearby, unstable limbs still hung up in the canopy, and neighbors, kids, and pets in the way. That's exactly why owner Joe Hamlett is personally on-site for every emergency call. Three decades of storm work in this county means he knows how to read a wind-loaded tree, how to secure a hung-up widowmaker before it drops, and how to coordinate quickly with insurance adjusters and JCP&L when a line is involved.

We handle fallen trees on roofs, garages, driveways, cars, fences, and outbuildings. We secure cracked leaders and hanging limbs before they cause a second round of damage. We tarp openings if the roof is breached, cut and remove the tree in controlled sections, and haul everything away so you can start putting your property back together. Because Hamlett's is fully licensed and insured with certified tree service specialists, our documentation is exactly what your homeowners insurance needs.

If a storm just hit and you're staring at damage, stop reading and call 609-462-5480. We're already loading the truck.
