San Diego Tree Removal
What Are Their Prices Like?
If you have received an estimate and the prices seem too good to be true, they probably are. While it makes sense to always want to find the cheapest deal, a San Diego arborist that offers extremely low pricing is likely to lack insurance, experience or certification, or perhaps all of the above! It’s also possible that they have no intention of finishing the project completely.
Meanwhile, there are some tree services that ask for prices that are way too high for the San Diego market. If you are not sure about how pricing works in the area, getting an estimate from three or more companies can give you an excellent idea of what to look for. Get all of your estimates in writing to ensure nothing changes unexpectedly.
When you’re looking at your estimates from various companies, it is important that you are comparing apples-to-apples. Ensure that the services you are seeing estimated are matching between competitors. An example might be that a tree removal contractor that removes a tree in small sections will likely be more expensive than one that simply fells the tree all at once.
Remember, though, that felling a tree is riskier, and can damage your property if the provider is inexperienced. This is why felling a tree is usually cheaper.
The Scams Are Out There: Avoid Them!
The very easiest way to avoid a scam is simply to not pay until the work is complete. And by that, we mean complete TO YOUR SATISFACTION. There have been a variety of situations where San Diego property owners pay for a project upfront, only to never hear from the company again. Let’s face it: tree services require no materials to be purchased up front – why should a professional require money before the job begins?
The door-to-door contractor is also a must to avoid. These are typically predators and con artists that prey on homeowners, with a particular focus on seniors. These door-to-door scammers are particularly present after natural disasters such as heavy rainfalls, earthquakes or flooding. This is because tree services typically face higher demand for emergency tree trimming and removal services during these difficult periods.
Remember that it never hurts to get a second opinion, especially if someone has approached you to sell you tree services.
