Does homeowner's insurance cover tree removal?

Home insurance only covers tree removal if it's already fallen and has caused damage. General yard maintenance, like pruning branches or removing a dying tree, is not included in most policies. If you have a fallen tree on your property, check with your insurance company to see if it covers the price to remove it.

Should I remove a tree close to my house?

You should remove a tree that's closer than 10 to 15 feet to your home because it can pose major problems. The roots can damage your foundation and pipes. If it falls, the chance of damage to your home is significant.

Removing a tree that close to your home requires extra care and planning. You have to make sure that no parts of your home or roof are in jeopardy. Most professionals recommend extracting the roots as well as the trunk and limbs.

What questions should I ask tree removal companies?

  • Can you provide up-to-date certification and insurance?
  • What are your credentials and how long have you been in business?
  • Do you have a certified arborist on staff?
  • Do you have references that I can check before committing to a contract?
