Look
for established businesses that reside in your city or service your
county.
Make sure the vendor you choose is fully
insured to cover liability for personal and property damage and worker
compensation. Ask
to
see current
certificates of insurance. You could be held liable for injuries or
damages that occur if the firm is not properly insured.
Find out if the
vendor has any certifications or belongs to any professional
associations such as the International Society of Arboriculture
(ISA).
Many vendors employ Certified
Oak Wilt Arborists who have received special training
on the Identification and Management of Oak Wilt in Texas.
Make sure you are dealing with
a reputable vendor. Ask for local references from recent clients that
contracted for similar services. Get more than one estimate and understand
what services will be rendered. Ask questions and have them explain
what they will be doing. If
you don't feel comfortable, contact another firm for an estimate.
Always get it
in writing.
Finally, use the resources on
this website to educate yourself about Oak Wilt so that you
can ask intelligent questions
and
make
informed decisions.
