Quality Work, Quick Response Reasonable RatesSo how do you select a tree company? Based on price.. Yup, that is probably the biggest criteria. However, when it comes to tree work, you definitely want to choose selectively. Tree work is the 2nd most dangerous work in the world, rated just under commercial fishing. With the high degree of difficulty of this work, you better choose a tree company that will get the job done right. Here are the criteria..
Choosing a tree company that has tenure in the industry is a good move. If they have been in business for a long time, have experienced personell, are on the BBB, and have good reviews and ratings they are probably a reputable tree company.
There is no alternative then Experience. A tree company that has experienced staff in the industry is very important for successfull tree work to be performed
There are many tree companies out there today, that do not have regular safety talks, or safety meetings. With the dangerous nature of the work, a tree company should be meeting weekly to discuss safety topics. There should be a safety program that the tree company follows, with disciplinary actions if safety is not followed by an employee. A CTSP should be on staff, and if a company is TCIA Accredited even better!
It is an easy thing to do to ask for a tree companies certificate of insurance. If they don't have one, don't use them. There are an ever increasing number of tree companies that are fly by night with no insurance. A tree company that carries liability and workmans comp insurance is a necessity.
It is a very good idea to find a tree company that has a valid license to do business in your city or county. Also, ensure that the tree company has an ISA Certified Arborist on staff.
Check out the companies website to view their pictures. Usually a valid tree company has images of their equiment and vehicles. This is because equipment and vehicles make a huge difference in safety and getting a job done properly and efficiently. If a tree company has old rusty and falty equipment that breaks down half the time, they probably will not complete your job properly and in a timely manner.
