Hiring a Tree Service Company
Some tree care needs cannot be done by just anyone. The job may be too dangerous and requires professional assistance. Even if you have tools kept somewhere in your house or you think you are good enough to remove or trim a tree, you still might need to seek help from your trusted tree service company. Hiring professionals may be the best decision you will ever make in maintaining the health of your tree, and the safety of your family and property. Before signing that contract, ask these questions first to make sure you are saying yes to the best.
Do they have an updated insurance documentation and a copy of their contract?
This is a deal breaker question. You want to make sure that the tree company that you will hire can provide you with these two important proofs. You do not want to be held liable if in case an accident happens while they are working on your property. If the company you want to hire doesn't have this essential documentation, it is time to back out.
Do they have tree industry-recognized certifications?
Hire a tree company with proper certifications because you want people who are professionals to work around your property. A company that is certified by the International Society of Arboriculture, the Tree Care Industry Association should be the best option for you. If they are going to work near power lines, ask if they are approved Line-Clearance Arborists.
Do they provide a detailed quote?
Budget is also one thing that a client first considers when hiring a tree company. Do they practice transparency with the scope and cost of the project? If not, try to look for another company.
What approach and equipment will they utilize?
There are instances that using heavy equipment is not the best idea due to the potential damage it can cause to the client's property. You should hire a company that can take on both small scale and large scale projects using heavy equipment or just safety climbing harnesses. Also, do they provide both commercial and residential services?
Do they demonstrate professionalism?
You also need to consider how they take care of the equipment they use in the job. How do they keep their equipment clean and in tip-top condition? Knowing that they can take care of the things they use daily to take care of your tree needs will give you an idea of how they will help you with your tree concerns. If their equipment is not properly maintained what made you think they can take care of your trees? In addition, a tree service company that has a website is a good indicator of professionalism. You can learn more about them and how they work if you visit their website.
What is their safety record?
A professional tree service company takes care of their employees. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration demand workers to use protective gears during a tree care project. They will not let any of their employees to be in danger.
