We Don't.
You know how it goes. You fill out a form on Angi or Thumbtack. Within an hour your phone is ringing off the hook — five different contractors, some you've never heard of, all calling at once. You feel hounded. You stop answering. Nothing gets done.
That's not how we work. When you submit a request here, we match you with one qualified, insured local crew for your specific job. They reach out once with a free estimate. That's it.
One form. One crew. One call. You decide what happens next.

What Homeowners Ask Before They Submit
Honest answers to the questions most people have but don't always ask.
“Will I get hounded by multiple contractors calling me?”
No — and that's the point. Most referral sites sell your number to five contractors who all call you at once. We match you with one. That contractor reaches out with a free estimate, and you decide what happens next. Nobody else gets your number.
“How do I know the crew you send is actually insured?”
We only work with contractors who carry liability and workers' comp coverage. Before any work starts, you can — and should — ask for a copy of their certificate. If a contractor can't produce one, don't let them on your property.
“What does it cost to use this service?”
Nothing. 518 Tree Service is completely free for homeowners. We're paid by the contractors in our network, not by you. There is no markup on the estimate you receive.
“How fast will someone actually get back to me?”
Most homeowners hear back the same day — usually within a few hours. For emergency situations involving fallen trees or storm damage, response is faster. If you need immediate help, call us directly.
“What if you can't find a crew in my area?”
We'll tell you upfront. We won't string you along or pass your number to someone who can't handle the job. If we can't match you, we'll say so — and suggest what to do next.

A dead tree doesn't get safer with time. A cracked limb gets heavier. Root damage spreads. What costs a few hundred dollars to handle today can turn into a multi-thousand-dollar emergency removal after the next storm — plus whatever it damages on the way down.
The best time to deal with it was last year. The second best time is right now.
