How quotes work

An arborist's opinion before a cut is made

No pressure to remove a tree that can be saved. You get an honest assessment and a written, fixed price before any work starts

  1. 1

    Free arborist assessment

    An ISA-certified arborist walks your trees, checks structure, health and what's underneath, and tells you whether pruning or removal is right.

  2. 2

    A written, fixed-price quote

    Climbing, rigging, cleanup, haul-off and any permit, itemized. About 30% of our quotes recommend pruning instead of removal.

  3. 3

    A crew that protects your yard

    Limbs are rigged down, not dropped onto the lawn or roof. We rake up every chip and sweep the driveway before we leave.

  4. 4

    Storm work, documented

    For insurance claims we photograph the damage, write up the removal and talk to your adjuster, so most homeowners only cover the deductible.

Real arborist skill. Honest assessments

“I started Heritage in 2007 after 11 years climbing for one of Portland's largest tree companies. I got tired of damaging cuts that ruined trees for a quick look, and tired of sales-driven advice to remove trees that only needed pruning. About 30% of our quotes recommend pruning instead of removal, even when that costs us the bigger job. We're not the cheapest. We're the right call.”

A massive Douglas fir was leaning toward the house after a windstorm. Heritage was there at 4am with a crane and had it down by noon. Insurance covered everything.

We wanted our view back without topping the trees. Sam knew exactly what to do, with selective limbing that kept the trees healthy and opened the view.

★★★★★
We asked them to remove a tree, and they recommended corrective pruning instead. It saved us $1,800. Honest people are rare in this trade.

★★★★★
A tree wedged between two houses, taken down by crane in 4 hours. Zero damage to either property. Truly impressive work.

★★★★★
Five years on the annual plan. They caught problems early on two trees that would have been emergency removals. The plan pays for itself.

Four stumps ground out. The free quote was honest, and they cleaned up so well you can't tell the stumps were ever there.

FAQ

Straight answers

Still not sure? Call. An arborist or our office picks up, not a call center

Do you really handle emergencies 24/7?

Yes. Trees on houses, trees blocking driveways, dangerous leans: call any time. We typically arrive within 60 minutes during business hours and 90 minutes overnight.

Do you handle the insurance claim?

For storm damage, yes. We document the damage, file with your carrier and supplement if needed. Most claims are paid in full, and the homeowner just covers the deductible.

What's an ISA-certified arborist?

International Society of Arboriculture certification is the industry standard. It takes real field experience plus exams on tree biology, pruning, risk assessment and care. We have 6 on staff.

Will you push removal when pruning would work?

No. About 30% of our quotes recommend pruning instead of removal. It saves the tree, saves you money, and it's why customers keep calling us back.

Do you grind stumps from trees someone else removed?

Yes. Send photos and rough measurements and we can usually quote over the phone. Most stumps take 30–60 minutes, and cleanup is included.
