Yes, we’re licensed and insured for tree work in Suffolk County, and we’re glad to show documentation before any job starts if you ask. Here’s what that actually covers and why it matters.
Why Insurance Matters More With Tree Work Than Most Home Services
Tree removal involves heavy equipment, large falling weight, and work near structures, power lines, and neighboring property. If something goes wrong on an uninsured job — a limb damages a roof, a rigging failure hits a fence — the homeowner can be left covering the cost. Hiring an insured company shifts that risk to the company’s coverage instead of your homeowners policy.
What Our Coverage Includes
- General liability coverage for property damage during a job
- Workers’ compensation coverage for our crew
- Documentation available on request before work begins
Questions to Ask Any Tree Company
Before hiring anyone for tree work, it’s worth asking to see proof of insurance directly, not just taking their word for it. A legitimate company will have this ready without hesitation. It’s also worth asking whether workers’ comp is current, since an injury on your property during an uninsured job can become your liability.
