Cary, N.C. - Doug Malawsky, executive vice president and COO of HMI, announced that Takoma Tree Experts, Inc. joined its Authorized Member (AM) Network. HMI provides property owners, insurers, and others with a full suite of support services for trees and shrubs, including emergency removals, inspections, cause of loss analysis, and replacement cost calculations. HMI's AMs are a national network of arborists and professional tree care companies that support these products and services. Takoma Tree Experts will support HMI's programs in the Washington, DC, metropolitan area.
At this time of year, snow and ice storms bring with them great potential for damage. Clean-up can include debris removal, tree trimming, and tree removal as well as assessing damage related to an insurance claim. When a homeowner, commercial business or insurance company needs help, HMI refers them to a member of their AM network, knowing that customers will receive professional, knowledgeable, and ethical service.
"We are pleased to have an established company like Takoma Tree Experts as part of our network. They have provided tree care to the DC Metropolitan area for nearly 30 years," said Malawsky. "To ensure they are providing top-notch customer service and tree care knowledge, they employ ISA certified arborists, maintain state licensing, and invest in staff training so they are aware of the latest changes and innovations in the industry. Takoma Tree Experts will be a great asset to HMI as we continue to work toward a national standard for tree care in the insurance industry by combining the services of some of the best tree care companies in the U.S."
"We look forward to taking advantage of all the benefits that HMI offers," said William Marvil, owner of Takoma Tree Experts. "Aligning with them gives us an opportunity to be part of shaping our industry as they relentlessly pursue raising the standards for tree care. Licensing and certification are key indicators for individuals, commercial businesses and insurance companies that a company is qualified and working to a standard that far exceeds status quo. HMI works to ensure our customers know about those indicators and we are ready to provide expert tree care when they refer someone to us."
Members of HMI's AM Network provide property owners with risk mitigation services, tree removal/repair and replacement services, and all other services related to tree loss and damage recovery. Other services include reports to support subrogation actions, and replacement costs for lost trees and shrubs.
