Timbershark is a licensed and insured tree service company based in Martinsburg, WV, providing emergency tree services and storm cleanup for residential and commercial properties. The company serves communities across the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia and into northern Virginia, including hazardous tree removal and full storm debris cleanup.
A tree on your roof, a limb across the driveway, a split trunk leaning toward the house — these are not situations that wait for a return call three days later. Timbershark is structured to respond quickly when severe weather turns a tree into a threat, and the owner is on the line and on the job. Storms don't keep business hours, and neither does the risk they leave behind.
The danger doesn't end when the wind stops. A limb caught in the canopy can drop hours later. A trunk that split partway can finish the job in the next gust. A tree already leaning against your house keeps pushing on it. Every day it stays, the situation gets less predictable — and a hazard you could have cleared quickly can turn into damage to your roof, your car, or the way you get in and out of your own driveway.

A trunk resting on your roof, garage, or fence is under tension and load in ways that aren't obvious from the ground. It gets removed in a controlled way so what's already damaged doesn't get worse during the work.
A large limb snapped but caught in the canopy is one of the most dangerous things a storm leaves behind. It can let go without warning, so it comes down deliberately rather than being left to fall on its own schedule.
A tree that cracked or shifted toward your home is compromised even if it's still standing. It gets evaluated for how it's failing and taken down before the next round of weather decides for you.
A tree or heavy debris across your driveway or walkway cuts off how you come and go. Clearing the way quickly gets you back to using your own property.
Once the hazard is handled, the branches, limbs, and wood get hauled away. You're not left staring at a pile of storm damage in the yard for weeks after the crew leaves.
Call or request a free estimate and tell us what you're dealing with, whether a hazardous tree, limbs over the roof, a stump or storm damage. We'll sort out the concern and the timeline together.
We look at the tree in person, checking its structure, health and what it stands near. You'll get an honest read on whether it needs full removal or whether trimming solves the problem.
You get a clear estimate with the recommendation and the reasoning behind it. The number you approve is the number the work is based on, with no surprise add-ons.
The crew handles the agreed work with your property in mind, then cleans up and hauls off the debris. The only sign we were there is the work itself.
A tree next to your roof, your fence, or your neighbor's property leaves little room for error, and you can't judge the skill until the work is done. These are homeowners and property owners across the region describing how their jobs actually went.
From our base in Martinsburg, we serve homeowners and commercial properties across the corner where West Virginia, Maryland and Virginia meet. Storm season doesn't stop at a county line, and neither do the hazardous trees it leaves behind. One front can drop limbs in all three states in a single night.
Being local means we know the weather that drives most of this work and we're close enough to respond when it hits. Routine trimming or urgent damage, reach out and we'll figure out the timing together.

Every job starts with a free estimate. Someone comes out, looks at the tree, and gives you a straightforward price along with the recommendation behind it — so you can weigh the cost against the risk without any obligation to move forward.
A few things you can count on with Timbershark:
the work is covered, which matters most when a large tree comes down near a structure.
the number you approve is what the job is based on, without surprise add-ons after the crew arrives.
debris is hauled off when the work is done, not left for you to deal with.
the person quoting the job is accountable for how it finishes.
Emergency tree work is where skill and level heads matter most — a maple over the house or a split trunk near the power line is no place for guesswork. At Timbershark, the owner is on the phone and on the job, making the call on how a compromised tree gets brought down safely. Decisions are grounded in real arborist experience: reading how a tree is failing, what it's threatening, and the safest way to relieve the load. When the situation is precarious, the person assessing it is the person handling it.
Timbershark is set up to respond quickly when severe weather creates a hazard, and the owner is reachable directly rather than through a queue. The best move is to call as soon as you can and describe what you're seeing — a tree on the house, a hanging limb, a blocked driveway — so the situation can be prioritized.
It depends on what it's leaning toward and how it's failing. A tree tilting over open lawn is different from one shifting toward your house or a power line. If a trunk has cracked or a tree has visibly moved since the storm, it's worth having it looked at rather than assuming it will hold — a compromised tree often fails on the next windy day, not the one that started it.
Be careful with this. A limb caught in the canopy or a trunk under tension can be holding far more force than it looks, and cutting into it wrong can send it moving suddenly. Clearing light, loose debris on the ground is one thing; anything still connected, elevated, or resting on a structure is worth leaving to someone who can read the load first.
Both. Once the hazard is dealt with, the limbs, branches, and wood get cleaned up and hauled off. You shouldn't have to deal with a yard full of storm debris after the immediate danger is handled.
Tell Reese what happened and what the tree is threatening. We’ll help prioritize the situation, explain the next steps, and plan the removal and cleanup so you know what to expect.
