5 Questions to ask your local tree service before getting a free quote

Every tree service project is unique. Here are 5 questions to ask your local tree service before getting a free quote.


HOW LONG HAVE THEY BEEN IN BUSINESS?

Determining whether a tree company is well-established and experienced is very important. Smitty’s Tree Service has been operating for over 60 years and has the knowledge, training, experience, and the necessary equipment to complete your tree project with accuracy and efficiency. 


WHAT ARE THE COMPANY’S CREDENTIALS?

Is the company you are considering hiring certified by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA)? Smitty’s Tree Service is! It is also important to ask about specific safety training qualifications. 


DO THEY HAVE REFERRALS?

While searching for a reliable tree service, it’s important to find one that can offer testimonies from past clients or companies they have worked with. Additionally, it is essential to take the time to evaluate the online reputation of the tree service company before committing to their services. Take a look at what our clients have to say about our services. 


WHAT EQUIPMENT DO THEY USE? WHAT ARE THEIR PROCESSES?

It is important to ask questions about your arborist’s experience and how they plan to complete the job. For example, if you need a big tree removed, find out if they will climb the tree or if they have a crane. Also, ask if they take care to avoid dropping wood on anything below or if they are mindful of where they place the heavy trunk. You should also ask if they haul away the wood and grind the stump. Knowing these details will help you understand what to expect on the day of the project.


ARE THEY INSURED?

Insurance is very important and you need to know if the company is insured or not because if an uninsured worker is injured on your property this could mean big trouble for you.
