Qualities to Look for in a Tree Contractor

More often than not, property owners look for ways to save money around the household and so many of us opt to DIY. However, there are certain things that require professional attention and expert assistance such as tree services. Whether you have one tree at home or several that requires a tree removal, trimming, pruning and other types of services, experts would highly recommend calling a tree contractor.

Of course, you can’t just choose any tree contractor you’ll find off the directory. Some of us would rely on the Internet to find a number to call. Any random tree contractor might not be the best choice. You must remember - this is a job for the pros. You need someone who is reliable and an expert on tree services. To make sure that you’re making the right choice, here are some of the qualities you should be looking for when choosing a tree contractor.

1. Local

First of all, it would be very ideal if you get a local tree contractor - one who actually services your area. It would be unreasonable, even impractical if you’re getting a tree contractor located many hours away from your property. Getting a local tree contractor would surely affect the pricing as well as the timeliness of the service.

2. Licensed Professionals

Especially for more complicated tree services such as removal or tree trimming, the government would require licensing or certification from contractors who would offer these services. To ensure your safety and the proper methods used when getting tree services done, then it is best to choose a tree contractor with the necessary licenses and certifications.

3. Fully Equipped

A good tree contractor is reliable, knowledgeable and fully equipped with tools and everything else needed to get a tree service done, no matter how big or small. For instance, if you called the contractor to get tree pruning services, but end up needing a tree removal or tree transplanting instead, the same contractor should be able to do the job. They should have the necessary tools and equipment so you won’t have to look for someone else to get these things done for you. Furthermore, if they have to source the equipment from someone else, it may incur more cost to you.

4. Fair and Honest

Most importantly, you need a fair and honest tree contractor. You must always be aware of the tasks at hand and how these tasks will be carried out. You should know in advance what the charges would be and the time needed to get the entire service done. In addition, you should be given reasonable and competitive prices. Ideally, a free estimate should be provided even before the contractor starts working on your trees.
