The treeShield® Warranty Proves Its Value Following Hurricane Sandy

"After Hurricane Sandy, I had two treeShield® clients who were very happy that we had provided them Warranty coverage on their storm damaged trees."

 

David Gingrich, Assistant District Manager for Hartney Greymont


Hurricane Sandy caused significant damage to trees from Pennsylvania to Massachusetts. For property owners fortunate enough to be protected by the treeShield® Warranty, recovery was easier and less costly. treeShield®, the tree care industry's only structured warranty, enables the tree care companies offering it, to provide their clients with a superior level of customer service and themselves a distinct competitive advantage. Based on reactions from arborists following Hurricane Sandy the Warranty did that and much more.
  
treeShield® covers your costs to provide your clients with a wide array of services that may be required following a storm. Services, which may not be covered by a home owner's policy, such as tree and tree debris removal, hazard tree and limb removal, cabling and even restorative pruning, are covered. The treeShield® Warranty is a premium level of service in an increasingly competitive market.

What your colleagues are saying about treeShield®.
"treeShield® certainly helps us retain our current customers. Services like this will soon become a 'norm' in the industry," said Mike Cook, The Care of Trees Sales Representative. "Our customers really see the value of the service."
"Providing a Warranty definitely helps us attract and retain new customers," said Jason Parker, Davey Tree Sales and Service Coordinator. "When our clients have a claim, they're shocked, in a positive way, about how easy it is for them; there's no haggling."
Protect and retain your best clients by covering their property with the treeShield® Warranty, the only insurance-backed* service warranty in the industry that covers post-storm clean-up and restoration costs. Provide your clients with peace of mind and confidence that they are working with the best tree care company in the industry.
