professionals to come out of the woodwork. Do not be a victim. Make sure you use only professionals who:

• Are fully insured for property damage, personal liability and workmen’s compensation.

It is wise to get more than one estimate when possible. In case of removals, have a clear understanding of who removes the limbs and debris from the property and whether or not the price includes stump removal and clean-up. Your tree may have value as firewood or chips, either to yourself rf if sold to others, and should be considered in the estimate.
The National Arbor Day Foundation has published a bulletin which shows you how to handle the repairs that you can do yourself. Homeowners can make many of the tree repairs necessary after a storm if they have the proper knowledge.
This information is provided us-, ing easy-to-follow, step-by-step illustrations in the Foundation’s bulletin called “When a Storm Strikes.”
“When a Storm Strikes” will show you how to prune storm-damaged trees, how to repair tom bark, how to treat partially uprooted trees, and how to restore the form of broken conifers.
The bulletin also provides tips on the types of repairs that should be made right after a tree has been damaged by lightning, and repairs that should wait six-to-twelve months.
