Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a tree service based in Pleasant Ridge?

None of the listed tree services are based inside Pleasant Ridge. The closest is Cherry wood tree service, which is in Hazel Park, the next town over, and serves Pleasant Ridge. County Tree II LLC is based in Warren, about 4.9 miles away, and Tree Service of Troy is based in Troy, about 6.2 miles away. JCS Tree Care Professionals LLC in Southfield and Elvis tree service LLC in Farmington Hills also serve the city.

Should I trim trees before a roof replacement in Pleasant Ridge?

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. If you trim before the replacement, branches and debris land on the old roof, not the new one. Before anyone climbs, ask the tree service for a certificate of liability insurance and proof of workers' compensation.

Does homeowners insurance cover tree removal in Michigan?

It depends on your policy, so read it and call your insurer before you hire anyone. Policies generally focus on damage a fallen tree causes to your house or other covered structures. Trimming or removing a healthy tree is usually treated as routine maintenance. Take photos of any storm damage first. Michigan does not license tree services, so whoever does the work, ask for a certificate of liability and workers' compensation.

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 tree services listed above. If a limb has already hit your roof, or branches have been rubbing your shingles, Roofing Army inspects roofs for free in Pleasant Ridge. That way you can find out whether the roof needs repair once the tree has been dealt with.
