Bull City Tree Service

We have suffered a total of $10,885.00 in damages as a result of hiring Bull City Tree Service to remove a 95 foot tree in our back yard.After being assured by owner [redacted] of the ability of Bull City Tree Service to remove a 95 foot tree in the back of our home, we have suffered a total of $10,885.00 in damages between my home and my neighbor's house. I have $4885.00 in damages and my neighbor has $6000.00 in damages.From our first meeting, I had instructed Mr. [redacted] not to use our Trex deck as a collection area for the very large and very heavy log sections. I came home from work on May 26th to find thousands of pounds of timber stacked on my deck resulting in warping of the decking. Other damage to fencing,gutters, landscaping, siding on our neighbor's house and screened porch were unexpected and unacceptable.My neighbor graciously allowed the tree company to access our tree through her property with assurances that the company was adequately insured. During the interview and bidding process I requested and received proof of insurance in the form of a Certificate of Insurance from his insurance agency. This single page form listed the amounts of liability coverage for various types of damage; property, personal, medical, etc. No where on this form was there any mention of exclusions to his policy. Later, after filing a claim with his insurance, we found that in fact there was an exclusion on page 26 or so that prohibited the company from removing trees over 36 feet tall! Thus, his insurance refused to pay for our losses.Desired SettlementWe are seeking no further contact with Bull City Tree Service or it's owner as we have had to file a claim with our homeowners policy for our repairs. We would like to caution anyone considering their services.
