Everything You Need to Know About Waltham Tree Services
What should I check for once my Tree Service in Waltham has finished working?
Every tree services project is going to have different results, but here are a few things to check for once any tree services company has told you they've finished the job:
- Obviously you want to do a visual inspection. Even if you're unfamiliar with tree services work, this gives you the opportunity to ask questions (even basic ones like, what did you do?).
- Ask the tree service to describe what they did. Whether your tree services project was a repair job or a building job, have them run you through what was done.
- Compare the description provided on your tree services project estimate to the work completed. Did the professional do what was promised?
- Request that the tree service do a follow-up visit to check on the work. Most professionals are willing to do this, especially if you ask them.
How does invoicing/payment work for most Tree Service projects in Waltham?
Every project differs, but you should ask any tree service for an estimate, before they do any work. In fact, ask for their general payment terms before any tree services work is done.
If the job is large and going to take longer than a day, it's common practice for tree services to request a down payment. Usually, this will be around 25% so they can commence work on your tree service project.
If it's a quick job, you'll likely be given an invoice/bill when the job is complete. Then it's up to you and the tree service to determine if you pay immediately or can send payment at a later date.
