The Crew Rome Calls When Trees Cause Trouble

A family crew, not a franchise

Elite Catastrophe is a veteran-owned, family-run tree service based in Rome, Georgia. When you call us, you are not routed through a call center or handed off to a dispatcher who has never seen your street. You talk to the people who show up in your driveway, run the equipment, and rake the last of the sawdust out of your grass before they leave.

That matters in this trade more than most. Tree work is dangerous, it happens a few feet from your house, and it usually gets booked during a stressful week. We would rather be the crew you can call with a direct question and get a direct answer from, every single time.

What we do

Our work runs in two lanes. The first is everyday tree care for homes and properties across the area:

• Tree removal, from simple drops in open yards to technical takedowns over roofs, fences, and tight property lines.
• Trimming and pruning that keeps canopies healthy, balanced, and safely clear of your house.
• Stump grinding and removal, so the tree you took down stops being the obstacle you mow around.

The second lane is emergency response. When a tree fails, we handle emergency removal, storm damage cleanup, and roof tarping to keep the weather out of your house until repairs are made. The phone is answered around the clock for true emergencies, because trees do not fail on a schedule.

How we work

Every job starts with an honest assessment. If a tree can be saved with a good pruning, we will tell you so, even when a removal would pay us more. If a tree is a genuine hazard, we will explain what we are seeing in plain language so you can make the call with clear information instead of pressure.

On the job, we protect the things you care about: the roofline, the fence, the flower bed your family planted. And when the work is done, we clean up like we mean it. Debris hauled, wood handled the way you asked, lawn raked, driveway blown off, and a final walkthrough with you before we pull away. A job is not finished until the yard looks better than we found it, minus the tree.

Storm response across Northwest Georgia

Storm work is part of who we are. It is in the name. When severe weather moves through Northwest Georgia, we respond regionally: Rome and Floyd County first, and then wherever trees have come down on homes, driveways, and power service lines across the surrounding counties.

We will be straight with you: most weeks are filled with scheduled removals, trimming, and stump grinding. But when the weather turns, people need a crew that answers the phone, shows up, and stabilizes the scene. We treat that as a responsibility, not a sales opportunity. You get the same honest assessment at 2 a.m. under a tarp that you would get on a calm Tuesday estimate.

Doing right by neighbors

Rome is home. The people who call us are the same people we see at the grocery store, at church, and at the ballfield. That is why our reviews are earned one clean job at a time, and why so much of our work comes from referrals and repeat customers.

On the paperwork side: we are insured, with general liability coverage, and we hold an Alabama residential roofers license (#40672) for storm roofing work across the state line. Georgia classifies roofing as a license-exempt specialty trade, so there is no Georgia roofing license for anyone to hold, and we would rather explain that plainly than let a claim do the talking. The company is veteran-owned, and we are members of the Rome Floyd Chamber of Commerce, because being from here and answering for our work here go together.

If you are weighing a decision about a tree, call us. Worst case, you get a straight answer and a free estimate. Best case, you get a problem off your property and a crew you will not hesitate to recommend to the neighbor over the fence.
