How We Built This List

  • Google reviews and ratings pulled via the Google Places API on 2026-11-09, sorted by rating weighted by review count.
  • Location. Companies with an address in Canton, MI rank ahead of companies based nearby, and nearby ones say where they are based.
  • ISA Certified Arborist on staff, where stated.
  • Proof of liability and workers' compensation insurance, which matters more in tree work than in almost any other trade.
  • Google rating weighted by review count.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a tree service based in Canton?

Yes. Two of the listed companies are based in Canton Township: Tree Guys With a Shovel and Art's Residental Tree Service Inc. The others serve Canton from nearby cities: Frank Jastrabek's Tree Service Experts Inc. from Westland, VanBelle Tree from Garden City and Arbor Man LLC from Livonia. Michigan does not license tree services, so whichever company you call, ask for a certificate of liability insurance and workers' compensation before anyone climbs.

Should I trim trees before a roof replacement in Canton?

Yes, it helps. Overhanging limbs scrape shingles, drop debris into valleys and gutters, and shade roofs so they stay wet. Trimming before the new roof goes on protects it from the start and gives the roofing crew clear access. We recommend trimming anything within ten feet of the roof. Schedule the tree work first so branches and debris do not land on fresh shingles.

Does homeowners insurance cover tree removal in Michigan?

It depends on your policy and on what happened. Coverage varies between insurers, so the best step is to call your agent or read your policy before you schedule work. If a tree has damaged your house or roof, take photos first and report it. Also confirm the tree service carries liability insurance and workers' compensation, since Michigan does not license tree services.

Does Roofing Army remove trees?

No. Roofing Army does roofing only, so we do not remove or trim trees. Any of the tree services listed here can handle that work. If a tree or limb has hit your roof, or branches have been rubbing your shingles, Roofing Army will inspect your roof for free in Canton and tell you whether repairs are needed.
