Pick a company that has been around for several years. Why experiment with someone that is unproven? Ask them for their work history and number of years incorporated in Florida. You can easily verify this through the Florida Division of Corporations’ Sunbiz.org web site.
Do they know and understand your county, city and Florida state tree removal, permitting and trimming rules? Test their knowledge!
Require them to produce at least three recent references. Again, Trust but Verify! Visit those properties. Call their references. Check with the BBB to see if there are any complaints filed against them. Are their trucks clean, neat and properly lettered? Do they have the license number decaled on their trucks? Do they have a physical address where you can find them? Or are they operating out of a P.O. Box or a storage yard?
