Things to Look For When Hiring a Tree Trimmer

Amherst Homeowner Seeks a Reputable Company

When hiring a tree trimmer, it is important that you find someone with not only experience but also insurance to protect the homeowner if anything goes wrong. Ask to see an up-to-date certificate of insurance to verify this, as well as references that you can contact. You can also learn a lot about the company by level of detail that is provided in the estimate.

A homeowner in Amherst, NH was looking for a professional to trim some trees outside her home. She wanted a reputable company, but wasn’t sure what questions to ask.

Proof of Proper Insurance is a Must

Working at heights with many variables such as electric wires, wildlife and nearby fences and homes are what makes tree trimming work best left to the professionals. With so many factors, it is critical that the tree trimming company that you choose have proper insurance. This ensures that if something goes wrong, whether damage or an accident, the homeowner will not be held liable.

Request References and Follow-up

For the health of your tree and to ensure that the work is done properly, you want a company with experience and a proven track record. Beyond doing your research online, ask the tree trimming company for references. A company with a clean record will be happy to share with you the names and contact information for their happy customers. But don’t take them at their word. Instead, follow-up with a quick call or email to these contacts to get their feedback.
