Are there tried and true ways you can work with your clients when bidding jobs to help them keep thier out of pocket expenses down in those situations when its going to be paid for by insurance - but there is going to be a deductible.
Also, has anyone ever known an insurance company help the homeowner pay to have a tree removed when its falling onto a house is emminent? I have had several clients recently tell me thier insurance company has told them they would cancel the policy if they don't have a tree trimmed or removed.
My thoughts are that sometimes when a homeowner calls me and I look at a 60' tree leaning at a 15 degree angle over thier house, with a 6' long split down the middle, that it would be to the insurance companies benefit to pay to have the tree taken down, rather than wait and pay for the tree to be removed from the rubble that is left of the house, and for the damage to the house... Any advise from experience would be greatly appreciated.
