Licensed and insured gets said so often that it can start to sound like a formality. In practice, it's the difference between a homeowner being covered if something goes wrong on a job and being personally on the hook for it.
If an uninsured crew damages a fence, a roof, or a power line during a removal, that cost usually lands on the property owner, not the company that caused it. Insurance also covers injury on site, which is worth thinking about given how physical tree work actually is.
Frederick County sees crews come through after storms offering fast, cheap cleanup with none of that protection in place. Asking to see proof of insurance before work starts takes a few minutes and any legitimate company will have it ready without hesitation.
Have you ever asked a contractor for proof of insurance before hiring them? What made you feel confident in who you chose?
