Can a Tree Service provider maintain safe social distance during Covid-19?



During a time when many Americans and global citizens find themselves confined to their home property, one often has the opportunity to observe their tree limbs more closely.  Many have routine work performed, however may not feel confident with their provider's preparation for the Corona Virus.  So can a tree service provider maintain safe social distance during Covid-19?  

Yes, however there are several important guidelines which must be adhered to.  
  1. Using our website, we can make this a Zero contact experience.
  2. Communications, updates, and payment details can all be arranged through our secure page. 
  3. Please don't approach us while we're working.  We genuinely need to maintain more than 6 feet of distance to ensure our team's safety and in turn yours. We answer FAQ here.
  4. We are not able to engage in hand shaking.  Thanks for understanding it's part of our strict personal hygiene protocols during this pandemic.
Tree maintenance is genuinely an essential service. Think about it, if prior to having a professional evaluate your property, you had no idea a large limb was only being held up by a neighboring arbor, and was positioned for a collapse onto your roof, you'd naturally view it as essential to have this cut down prior to crashing on your house right? On 4/20/20, we received a call from a Sugar Land home owner who thought she was prepared until the previous night's storm. She called and said a 20 foot limb had landed on her driveway, and had her blocked in. Her car wasn't impacted, however she needed to drive a family member to a critical medical appointment which couldn't be postponed. This is a prime example of why it's important to have a trustworthy contact in the Tree Service business.

Are you multiple weeks into self quarantine? Have you thought about what you'd do if your electricity, internet, satellite, cable, or phone service went out due to a heavy sycamore limb landing upon a cable or wire? New branch growth is often very surprising, and if not managed, can take over. Delfino can help you maintain personal safety indoors, and perform maintenance to your live oaks and all arbors, so your essential services can remain uninterrupted during this marathon.

Many Texans have told us they feel tricked when the person selling a service to be performed is not part of the team conducting the work. The great thing about us, is our Sales Rep (Delfino) also performs all the work on the ground with his small family owned company.  A small amount of essential planning and preventive maintenance today can result in saving your home from a decaying, weak, distressed river birch dying and falling, or even broken limbs flying in the wind and leading to broken windows, a crushed roof, torn shingles, (deck, porch, or fence), or the need to replace your dented crushed gutter system.

Hi everyone,
We are asked frequently by customers, "Why is it when I call other organizations for a service, a person comes out with a clip board, a clean crisp new shirt and a smile, however upon scheduling the job, I never see this person again? You seem like a nice guy, but let me guess, you won't be here if I hire your company right?" Honestly, these are excellent questions, and while there are a variety of answers, we do advise any home or business owner to ask three questions when you request a quote for service:
a) "If I hire your team, will you (sales person) personally be on the job site the entire time?"
b) "If you won't be on the site for at least 80% of the work, can you explain why?"
c) "What type of insurance coverage do you have?"

Based upon what we have witnessed first hand with our own boots on the ground, we feel these questions will serve you very well for a variety of services. We advise establishing a long term relationship with a locally owned and operated fairly priced team. It's as easy as ALDINE TREE. Related, if you need tree services in the Houston area, and are only concerned with the lowest price, we advise you to seriously reconsider this philosophy. Why? We have served Cypress, Memorial, Sugar Land, Bellaire and more for 20 years, and we are often called by clients frantically seeking emergency help after the job from the lowest priced bid goes wrong. What happens?

Here's a brief summary:
1) Many unsolicited "Door Knockers" will claim to have experience, but do not explain they can't climb safely. They offer a low price to use your home as a training ground. This is not only dishonest, it is extremely dangerous.

2) Often, individuals don't tell the truth about their insurance. If an accident happens, they dash to run away or escape, because they don’t want to accept any responsibility. They often have multiple aliases.

3) The cheapest bid often results in shoddy service. We’ve seen real examples, where the wrong tree is cut or Pruned too deeply, and causes irreversible damage or a premature death to arbors, and leave your yard curbside appeal a disaster. Ask yourself…...Do you really want this?

4) The lowest price bids often rush a project, and don't put safety first. We've been called when a tree was improperly cut, and landed on a customer's house, crushed a shed, took down a section of a fence, crashed on to a porch, broken windows, or even worse directly hit their neighbor's house. Customers have literally told us, it seemed like an easy job. We didn’t realize removing a dead limb could become such a nightmare so quickly.

5) Some companies offer an artificially low price, and then subcontract the work out to inexperienced people who are uninsured, and do not work for the company who provided the quote. It’s an unethical bait and switch. The insured group presents their credentials, however will not be responsible for the work they sell to another uninsured team. The person quotes, may pocket up to 50% of the money for the referral, and the subcontractors do not feel ownership in the job.

6) The lowest priced quotes often have unexpected surprises. Recently, a customer presented us a job quoted for $1,500. She explained the company cut one tree and had it laying in her front yard blocking her driveway. They left. She needed to access her vehicle, however couldn't leave due to the blockade. She called them to understand what was going on, and why they'd left. They stated the tree was in worse condition than they originally thought, and would now need to charge $1,250 more. They said they would not finish until they were paid the additional money. Most feel this is a form of extortion. Sadly, it is a con job often performed by grifters who initially seem friendly and above board. It typically results in the lowest price becoming significantly higher than any of the honest quotes.

7) Companies with a bad reputation often change their name to elude a poor reputation. Some even publish business cards and advertisements with multiple company names to make it seem you are receiving 2 or 3 different bids, however it's all the same group essentially bamboozling a customer into thinking they're making the right choice. This is intentionally deceitful, and it's sadly common in this industry.
