First of all check with your insurance company about your coverage if you have a tree that has damaged your property
Don't let the business pressure you on making a quick decision, shop around for bids and always check the Better Business Bureau to make sure the company is legitimate.
Get 3 or more estimates before you make a decision.
Ask if they are certified arborists, who have professional training and certifications. You can also check the International Society of Arboriculture.
Make sure the tree service company you are considering has current liability insurance and workers compensation. You can ask to have certificates of insurance sent directly to you from the company's insurance agency if you are unsure.
Always get it in writing. Get a written contract agreement. Make sure it contains their name, address, license number, and phone number. Read over the contract and make sure it is what you both agreed upon before you sign it.
