What people ask us
How do I choose a tree removal provider?
Picture this yard: a big oak near the roof and three different quotes. Ask each provider for proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation. Ask how they will protect the house, lawn and fence. Get it in writing. A clear quote lists the work, the cleanup and the stump. Productionresistance Tree Service connects you with independent providers, but you make the final choice.
Does Productionresistance Tree Service remove trees?
No. Productionresistance Tree Service is a referral service. It does not cut, climb or haul anything. When you send a request, it connects you with an independent provider in our network who may be able to help in the St. Paul area. The provider does the work and sets the price. You agree to terms with the provider directly, not with Productionresistance Tree Service.
Is it safe to take down a tree myself?
Say a tall tree leans toward the garage. A small mistake can send a heavy trunk the wrong way. Large limbs, power lines and wet or frozen wood raise the risk a lot. Most homeowners are safer hiring a trained provider with the right gear. Keep people and pets well back from any tree that looks unstable.
What should I do if a tree falls on my house?
Get everyone out and stay clear of the tree and any fallen wires. Treat downed lines as live. If anyone is hurt or lines are involved, call local emergency services. Then take photos for your records. Request a callback to check provider availability for emergency tree removal. Contact your insurer about the damage.
Will insurance pay for tree removal?
It depends on your policy. Some policies may cover sudden damage, like a storm tree that hits the roof. Dead or unhealthy trees removed before they fall are often not covered. Check your policy and ask your insurer. Providers can often help document damage for a claim.
How much does tree removal usually cost?
In the U.S., a small tree may run a few hundred dollars. Large or hard-to-reach trees can reach several thousand. Price depends on height, trunk size, location, nearby wires and cleanup. Stump grinding is often quoted as an add-on. These are typical ranges only, and every job differs. Get a written quote before any work begins, so you know what is included.
How long does a tree removal take?
Many small jobs finish in a few hours. Large trees, tight yards or several trees can take a full day or more. Timing also depends on weather, because wind, ice and soggy ground can delay work. Availability varies by provider, so ask for a start window when you get your written quote. Some providers can respond quickly after storms.
Should I get the stump ground out too?
Picture a bare stump by the patio. It can attract pests, sprout shoots and trip someone mowing. Stump grinding removes it below ground so you can plant grass or build there later. It is often priced separately, so ask. A clean, finished yard also helps the look of your home if you sell.
