Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a tree service based in Oxford?
Yes. Three of the companies on this list are based in Oxford: Timber Beast Tree Service, Arbor Tree Service and Father & Son Tree Services. Turman's Tree & Landscape is based in nearby Lake Orion, and LaFountain Tree Specialists is based in Oakland Township. Both serve Oxford. Whichever company you call, ask for a certificate of liability and workers' compensation insurance before any work starts.
Should I trim trees before a roof replacement in Oxford?
Yes, if branches hang over or near the roof. 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 the new roof goes on means falling limbs and debris land on the old roof, not the new one. Ask the tree service for proof of liability and workers' compensation insurance before anyone climbs.
Does homeowners insurance cover tree removal in Michigan?
It depends on your policy and on what happened. Policies often help when a fallen tree damages a covered structure, such as your house or garage. Removing a healthy or dead tree that has not caused damage is usually the homeowner's cost. Read your policy and call your agent before work starts. Take photos of any damage first, and keep the tree service's written estimate and invoice for the claim.
Does Roofing Army remove trees?
No. Roofing Army does roofing only and does not remove or trim trees. For tree work, start with the companies on this list and ask each one for a certificate of liability and workers' compensation insurance. If trees have been rubbing or dropping debris on your roof, Roofing Army inspects roofs for free in Oxford, so you can find out whether the limbs have caused any damage.
