This is the second time using Driscoll, and we are pleased with the service. Michael is knowledgeable and punctual. We had eight trees trimmed, and they left no traces of the work in our yard. Polite workers. Reasonably priced as well. Highly recommend.
The service for Driscoll Tree Service was outstanding. Michael came out to meet with me, explained the pros and cons of how to deal with my tree removal, and provided a clear quote for the service. The crew that came out to do the work was on-time, professional and did a great job. One of the trees they had to remove was tall and in a spot where they couldn't get any heavy equipment to it, but they were able to take it down in pieces without damaging my landscaping or fence. If you are looking for a professional and competent tree service, I definitely recommend calling Driscoll Tree Service.
When a tree falls in the forest, it is nobody’s problem. However, the repercussions can be dire if a tree falls on your property. Storms and strong winds often cause tree-related damage, especially if the tree is unhealthy or dead. The most effective way to prevent safety risks is by hiring a tree care company to inspect your trees and regularly provide the care they deserve. If a tree is severely damaged, it is best to remove it from the premises.
Tree removal can be expensive, even if you have homeowners’ insurance or other types of coverage. Before hiring a tree service to remove a risky tree in your backyard safely, check with your coverage provider to ensure they cover tree removal services. Homeowners’ policies usually cover the damages following a fallen tree, but most coverage providers exempt tree removal services. Consult a professional tree care company to learn more about tree removal services and insurance.
Many people with homeowners’ insurance assume their policy should cover tree removal services. This is usually the case if you didn’t cause the tree to fall, but there are several limitations property owners need to know before filing a claim for tree removal. Insurance providers look for reasons to deny payouts, hence the need to work with a trusted tree care company.
Homeowners’ insurance protects structures on your premises, including your house, detached garage, and shed. If the cause of tree damage is harsh weather or strong winds, your policy is likely to cover the cost of repairs and replacements. However, this only works if the tree was healthy before the incident. A tree in poor health already poses a safety hazard, and policyholders may deem you responsible and refuse to pay out. Insurance companies expect homeowners to maintain a healthy and safe lawn; failing to prune or trim trees is considered negligence.
Another incident that your homeowners’ insurance may not cover is when a tree falls and doesn’t cause damage. This is frustrating and inconvenient for homeowners since mature trees weigh thousands of pounds. In addition, a fallen tree on your property that damages neighboring property can’t be covered by your insurance and can open you up to legal action.
If your policyholders refuse to pay for tree removal service, acquiring tree removal insurance. This policy can be written into your current insurance policy, mitigating the expenses associated with hiring a tree service company to remove the fallen or damaged tree. We recommend scheduling routine inspections with a professional to identify potential risks before wreaking havoc on your premises.
