A tree guy? Short on beer money?

They're called arborists and you act like this shite is done by Joe Blow off of Craigslist. That's not how it works and is stupid advice on your part.

"Find a tree guy short on beer money" and you'll find yourself asking the guy why he didn't have the proper license and insurance when he lands that tree on your house.

this, find a professional.

We had a cherry tree removed for $700, but they got to sell the cherry. would have been close to 3k if they didn't want the wood.

How do I know the guy is really licensed and insured? I recently hired a company to take down two trees behind my house and they gave me a flier that says they are licensed and insured but I don't know if that is true or not. Should I ask to see licenses and insurance papers? What is my liability if they tell me they are insured but then turn out to not be?

Yep, I contacted an arborist, and he subbed the job out to the local crackhead who probably wasn't covered under his insurance.
