Tree Inspections

Tree Inspections:

Protect Your Home and Liability

For over 20 years, I’ve seen countless trees come down onto homes, cars, and balconies — damage that could have been prevented with a simple inspection. Insurance companies know that prevention is the key to avoiding costly claims, and homeowners should too.

Why Have Your Tree Inspected?

  • Root Rot & Instability – Hidden decay can cause trees to collapse without warning.

  • Fractures Between Forks – Wind stress often splits co-dominant stems apart.

  • Overgrowth & Leverage – Heavy, unbalanced canopies act like levers in storms.

  • Proximity to Structures – Leaning trees threaten homes, garages, and balconies.

  • Storm Preparedness – Inspections reduce the risk of catastrophic damage during severe weather.

 

Unexpected But True

  • Trees Don’t Have Brakes – Once a tree starts falling, it won’t stop halfway.

  • Your Neighbor’s Insurance Won’t Cover Your Tree – Liability falls on you, even if damage crosses property lines.

  • Gravity Always Wins – No matter how strong a tree looks, physics doesn’t negotiate.

  • Birds Don’t Pay Rent – Overgrown and dead branches invite pests and wildlife that damage your tree and property.

  • Insurance Companies Love Prevention, Not Excuses – “I thought the tree looked fine” won’t stop liability claims.

Peace of Mind

A professional inspection is proof of responsibility. It protects your family, your property, and your wallet. Don’t wait for gravity to file the claim for you — schedule your tree inspection today.
