Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a tree service based in Ortonville?

Yes. Three of the companies on this list are based in Ortonville: The Tree Meister LLC, SavATree - Tree Service & Lawn Care and Exact Tree Service. Two others work nearby. K N K Tree Service, LLC is based in Goodrich, about 3.5 miles away, and Mr. Stump is based in the Village of Clarkston, about 6 miles away. All five list tree removal or trimming among their services.

Should I trim trees before a roof replacement in Ortonville?

Yes, it helps. 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 keeps branches from rubbing on new shingles and gives the roofing crew clear access. Schedule the tree work first, then the roof, so debris from trimming does not land on finished work.

Does homeowners insurance cover tree removal in Michigan?

It depends on your policy. Coverage usually turns on what the tree hit and why it fell, so read your policy or call your agent before work starts. Ask the tree service for photos and a written estimate, which can help with a claim. Michigan does not license tree services, so ask for a certificate of liability and workers' compensation before anyone climbs. ISA Certified Arborist is the voluntary credential worth looking for.

Does Roofing Army remove trees?

No. Roofing Army does roofing only and does not remove or trim trees. For tree work, contact one of the companies listed above. Once the limbs are cleared, Roofing Army can inspect your roof for free in Ortonville and look for scraped shingles, debris in valleys and gutters, or damage from fallen branches.
