Insurance is not paperwork. It is who is liable when a climber falls on your property.
We ask every homeowner to request our certificate of insurance directly from our insurer, not a photocopy we hand over ourselves. It covers general liability and workers compensation both - an uninsured climber hurt on your property can become your liability, not just ours, and that is the single most important thing we can tell you before you hire anyone for tree work.
A certified arborist credential means someone studied tree biology, decay patterns and structural risk, not just how to run a saw. Ours diagnoses every job before a crew is scheduled. The crew that climbs and removes is trained separately, in rigging and rope work - diagnosis and execution are two different skills, and we keep them that way on purpose.
For a tree already down or hanging after a storm, we run an emergency line. Most homeowner policies cover storm damage removal when it threatens a structure - we can help you document the damage for your claim before we start, which is often the difference between a covered job and a disputed one.
