1.
Is there a cost for the estimate?
No, all estimates are free of charge! Call our office and we
can arrange to have an estimator meet you at your property, or he can
leave an estimate for you if you can't be home.
2. How long does
it take to get an estimate?
1 to 3 days. We can be there within hours if it is an emergency. However,
we are glad to call to set up an appointment to meet you at your home
or place of business at your convenience.
3. How long is the price
quote good for?
We guarantee our price for 90 days, unless a different term is specified
in writing by the estimator.
4. Once approval on
a job has been given, when can the job be completed?
During our busy season starting in mid-April and continuing through
October, it takes approximately 4 - 6 weeks from the time you approve
your work and completion of the job, unless it is storm work which
takes a priority in our scheduling. In the winter months our work
slows down so we can complete a job normally within 2 weeks depending
on weather. Our prices go down in the winter as well- so it's a great
time to have tree work done!
5. Once the job has been completed,
how do I pay?
Our terms are "Payment in full due upon completion". Once
the job is finished, the foreman will present you with the invoice.
You can pay the foreman directly with a check made payable to Josh Newsome's
Tree Surgery, or cash. If you would like to pay using a credit card,
you will be instructed to call the office and there is a 4% surcharge.
We accept all major credit cards. If you can't be home when the work
is done, the foreman will leave an invoice in your door. You may mail
us a check or call to pay by credit card.
6. Are we licensed and insured?
This is a very good question, and should be asked of every contractor
you are thinking of hiring. Josh Newsome's Tree Surgery LLC is licensed
and fully insured. We are also licensed as required with the various
municipalities. We will be glad to provide copies of our licenses at
your request. We are also fully insured with liability, vehicle insurance
and Workers Compensation. We will be happy to provide you with proof
of insurance. Please always make sure to ask for proof of insurance
before a contractor comes on your property to work.
Frequently Asked Tree Answers
1. Does your company
spray trees with pesticides for insects?
No, we don't believe in the use of pesticides to control insects in
most cases. We feel that if your tree is healthy it can withstand an
attack from common insects. We recommend maintaining your tree with
regular pruning and fertilizing to keep it strong and vibrant. However,
in some cases the use of pesticides are necessary, and we can recommend
a reputable company for you to contact.
2. Do you top trees?
Topping is no longer a recommended pruning method to cut a tree down
in height. It is actually harmful to the health of the tree. Your estimator
can discuss other methods of pruning to maintain a certain height, and
to try to repair trees that have been damaged by previously being topping.
3. When is the best time
to prune a tree?
There are different times to prune different trees, for example most
flowering trees should be pruned after they bloom in the Spring, and
Maples and many other types of trees can be pruned most times of the
year although Spring and Fall are normally the best times. It is best
to discuss pruning with the estimator, because every tree is unique.
