What to look for

When looking for a contractor for your fire preparedness needs, consider these points:

  • Confirm that they have a Contractors License through the California State License Board.
  •  Request multiple bids from multiple contractors (at least three) to be sure you are getting a fair quote,
  • Get three references from each bidder and review past work in person.
  • Ensure the contractor has insurance and workers’ compensation insurance for employees.

Certifications

  • Look for ISA (International Society of Arboriculture) Certified Arborists and/or Certified Tree Workers (look for their ISA ID # and check here: www.treesaregood.org/findanarborist
