An inspector flagged a hazard tree before closing — or your insurance company sent a letter. Both come with a deadline. That's the job we move fastest on.
It's a common line item in this part of Alabama: the home inspector notes a dead pine in striking distance of the roof, a heavy limb over the garage, or a leaning trunk the buyer's lender doesn't like. Suddenly tree work is standing between you and a closing date. What the transaction needs is simple: the hazard handled quickly, and paper proving it — a written quote up front and documentation of completed work for the file, which agents, buyers, and lenders all accept. Tell us your closing date on the first call; deadline jobs get scheduled like deadlines.
The other version arrives in the mail: your homeowner's carrier requires removal of a tree or limbs over the dwelling as a condition of renewing or writing the policy, by a stated date. These letters are routine for insurers and stressful for everyone else. The play is the same — get the work quoted and done inside the window, keep the paperwork, and send your agent the documentation. If anything in the letter is unclear about what exactly must go, ask your insurance agent to confirm scope in writing before the work is quoted, so you pay to satisfy the requirement once, not twice.
That's a negotiation between buyer and seller, usually settled through the repair addendum like any other inspection item — sometimes seller-paid before closing, sometimes a credit. We don't give legal or contract advice; your agent handles that part. What we handle is the part everyone agrees on: a fair price, fast scheduling, and clean documentation.
If you work listings in Covington County, save this number. When an inspection turns up a tree issue, one call gets your client a free quote fast, honest pricing they can show the other side, and completed-work documentation for the file — which keeps your closing on the calendar. That's the whole pitch.
Tell us the closing date first — transaction and insurance-deadline jobs get scheduling priority over routine work. Most single-tree hazard removals are a one-day job once scheduled.
A written quote before the work and written confirmation of completion after — what agents, lenders, and insurance carriers typically ask to see. Photos of the completed work are easy to include; just ask.
Ask your insurance agent to confirm in writing exactly what must be removed or trimmed before you get quotes. It's a five-minute email that prevents paying for the wrong scope. We can't interpret your policy — but once the scope is clear, the rest moves quickly.
On a deadline? Say so on the call — that's the queue we move fastest.
