Yes, we have plenty of experience working with insurance companies for fallen trees and limbs, especially after storms. We will get the proposal to you and you will forward it to your adjuster and/or agent. We will gather the information from you to help work with the insurance such as the insurance companies name, your agents name, their contact information, and your claim number.
Here at B&R Tree Service we do our best to accommodate all your needs, and we develop a proposal that aligns with that for you. If that includes coordinating schedules with other contractors, we're happy to provide you with our availability so you can work with other contractors schedules as well. We do however ask to be the only contractors on site while we are performing the work. If you're having other contractors doing projects arond the same time as tree service is being completed please mention this to our office upon scheduling the estimate so we can notify our sales team and they can discuss with you during your complimentary consultation. We may recommend having certain contractors perform their work prior to us or after us depending on what is being done.
Trees with more difficult access are usually removed via crane. We provide the proper equipment to remove trees of any size, such as a certified aerial bucket truck to access tree canopies, a chip truck to hold wood chips from discarded wood (which we will haul away or leave for you to use as mulch) a log truck for removal of large wood, and a crane for jobs that require a hard to reach tree.
A member of our team will visit your property to evaluate the health of your trees, plantings, and landscape as a whole. We will walk you through our process, get a sense of your vision for your property, and answer any questions you may have. We will then draft a detailed proposal for you to include the scope of work that aligns with your needs, your vision, and the health of your property as a whole. If you won't be on site when we visit to complete the consultation we ask that you please mark your tree(s) with ribbon, spray paint, or another identifier so we can ensure we're reviewing the same work you're looking to have done.

Trees of the right variety placed properly and cared for professionally provide enormous benefits and have significant economic, environmental and societal value. Well-landscaped property can increase your homes value anywhere between 4.4% - 28%.
While emergency deadwooding can happen anytime, the ideal window for structural pruning is during the late winter or early spring while trees are still dormant. This timing minimizes stress on the tree and prevents the spread of certain diseases that are active in warmer months.
