Tree Service Tips

Tree Service Tips
  • Always get a written estimate.
  • Always get proof of insurance. Call to verify policy is current.
  • Try to meet with someone in person.
  • This person should have a uniform and be knowledgeable. They should walk your property and get a feel for and understand what is best for you and your needs. They should give you a detailed plan of action. They should talk about any challenges, impacts and risks associated with your landscape and other trees. They should give you the approximate time to complete the job.
  • Do not pay anyone up front. Professional tree service companies do not expect payment until the job is completely done and you are satisfied. This is the most important. Do not pay half, some, partial, until the job is completely done. You do not want to learn this the hard way. Professional tree removal and tree service companies accept both checks and all major credit cards. Ask this up front.
  • Use referrals from family, friends, co-workers.
  • Get at least three estimates for jobs over $500, and five for jobs over $2000.
  • Beware of someone that is out to under cut and under price the competition just to get the job. This is a "service" and not an "item". They are thinking of your wallet and not the job to be performed. Ex. "We guarantee the lowest price, we won't be beat, we will beat other's price by 10%" . Make them give you their own estimate and opinion as to how the job will be done. They are there for the money and not you the customer.
  • Remember this is a "Service" and go with the person/company that clearly understands your needs, budget and value based on the above steps.
