How to Hire a Tree Pruning Sydney Service
Something that property owners should be aware of is that all tree services are the same. Even though there are many reputable and professional tree services out there. There are also quite a few fly by night outfits around.
Questions to Ask a Tree
Service
A good way to find a
professional Tree Pruning Sydney
service is to ask them a few questions. The first and most important question
you need to ask is do you employ professional arborists? Arborists are trained
tree experts, the best services employ them.
The next question you
should always ask are you licensed and bonded? Most jurisdictions will require
a business license but some may require more. A good way to determine what
license a tree service should have is to ask your local government.
A more important question
that you should ask is are you bonded? A legitimate service should have what is
known as a surety bond. This means that they are insured and their insurance
company will cover the costs of any damage they do. A legitimate service should
have no problem showing you this bond.
Something to remember is
that your insurance may not cover the cost of any damage done on your property
by an un-bonded contractor. To make matters worse, you could be held liable if
a contractor without a bond damages your neighbor's property. Asking to see the
bond is a good idea especially for work done on rental or commercial property.
Another great question to
ask is what qualifications do you have? Ask how many years they have been in
business and what sort of experience they have. Also ask if they any sort of
specialized expertise.
Asking for references is
a good idea as well. Legitimate services will happily provide lists of
satisfied customers you can talk to. Companies that don't provide references
probably do so because prior customers have complaints about them.
Ask how long the service
has been in business in your community. You need to ask this be unscrupulous
services will often move from community to community leaving a trail of shoddy
work and irate customers behind them. Never deal with a service that can't
provide a permanent address in your area.
Finally ask for a free
estimate. A legitimate service will be happy to send an arborist out to your property
to do a free estimate. They should also be happy to provide free consultations.
Ask them to come out and do this that way you can talk to them and see if you
trust them before hiring them.
Asking a tree service a
few basic questions before hiring them can save a lot of grief and money. Most
importantly it can ensure that the job will be done right the first time.
