Not always the homeowners fault
I agree it was a hack job. But we went out yesterday to look at a rush job a large pine had split from the heavy snow we got this past week and then the heavy winds. We looked at the tree it was leaning away from house but towards the garage. And since the morning it was getting worse. Back to the homeowner he asked for a quote we gave one he told us we were 400 dollars higher.He asked us if we were insured we told him yes and gave him proof workmans comp. and all.We asked if the other companies were insured. He told us yes I asked if they gave him proof. He said we were the first to show him in black and white. We received a call back asking how soon we could do the work. Being this the first time they ever used a tree service they just took the other guys word.The other guys had no proof of insurance. And he told us for the peace of mind knowing we were insured was well worth the extra $400.00 Sometimes people need just don't know until it's to late or they are told.
