Questions to Ask a Tree Removal Service

Tree Removal Costs; You should always ask a professional tree removal service questions before hiring them. Moreover, these should be questions you pose to at least three or four tree removal services to gauge their work history, expertise and how much you’re going to pay for each company’s services. By asking these questions, you will get the best service from the most qualified pro in the shortest amount of time without endangering your home, property or family members.

Here are the essential questions you should ask tree removal service pros:

--Can they provide a copy of their license and insurance? If the professional isn’t willing to show you these, it should be an immediate red flag and you should hang up the phone. All tree removal service professionals should have both of these documents to show they’re certified by the state to practice their professional and to protect their team in case of injury.

--Do they have a list of references? Even if you found them online or in the phone book, ask for references. Knowing they did a good job on other people’s homes will give you peace of mind and reinforce they’re the right person for the job.

--Will they be able to give you an estimate? Every company you call should be able to give you a detailed estimate of how much tree removal will cost based on what you tell them.

--You will also need to ask them how much stump removal will cost, whether it’s included with the cost of the tree being taken down or separate.

--How long will the tree removal process take? Part of the tree removal process estimate is the length of time it will take. By asking every company how long they say they’ll take, you can find out which is the shortest. It’s also why asking for references is important, though. They can confirm if the quoted time and price given to them by the pro was accurate for their job as well.

--What kind of equipment will they use to remove the tree? They should be bringing out equipment like axes, grinders (for the stump, if needed), chainsaws, safety gear, trucks and so on. Listen for items like that to be listed off when you ask the question. If it sounds like they’re missing paramount equipment, then you should reconsider using their service for your tree removal.

--Are they asking for money down? If they ask for any money down before the job, hang up the phone. Homeowners should never pay for the service before the job is done.
