Is there a tree service based in Birmingham?

Should I trim trees before a roof replacement in Birmingham?
Yes. Overhanging limbs scrape shingles, drop debris into valleys and gutters, and shade roofs so they stay wet. We recommend trimming anything within ten feet of the roof. Doing it before a replacement means nobody is dropping branches onto new shingles, and the roofing crew has clear access. Michigan does not license tree services, so ask for a certificate of liability and workers' compensation before anyone climbs.
Does homeowners insurance cover tree removal in Michigan?
It depends on your policy and on why the tree is coming down. A tree that falls on your house or another covered structure is often handled differently from a healthy tree you choose to remove. Read your policy and call your agent before work starts. Whoever you hire, ask for a certificate of liability and workers' compensation, since Michigan does not license tree services and insurance is the credential that matters.
Does Roofing Army remove trees?
No. Roofing Army does roofing only, so we do not remove or trim trees. For tree work, use one of the companies on this list. Once limbs are cleared back at least ten feet from your roof, it is worth checking the shingles, valleys and gutters for damage the branches left behind.
