Yes. Trailhead Tree Service, LLC is a registered Washington contractor (TRAILTS796RC), is a registered Idaho contractor (2271382), holds a City of Spokane Commercial Tree Service License, is bonded and insured, and has ISA Certified Arborists on staff. We will send a certificate of insurance before any job on request.
This is the question we get asked most, so here is every number so you can check it yourself.
Licensed
- Washington contractor registration TRAILTS796RC. Washington requires tree services to register with the Department of Labor & Industries, carry a bond, and carry liability insurance. Verify us at lni.wa.gov.
- City of Spokane Commercial Tree Service License. Required for tree work on City property and street trees. We hold it, and we are on the City’s certified arborist list.
- Idaho General Contractor Registration 2271382. Issued by the Idaho Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses, so we can work on the Idaho side of the line too. Verify at dopl.idaho.gov.
- ISA Certified Arborists on staff. Adam DeWitt (sales manager) is an ISA Board Certified Master Arborist, ISA’s highest certification, and Ryan Schulte (owner) is an ISA Certified Arborist. An arborist assesses every tree before the crew touches it.
- Wildfire risk reduction qualified. Defensible-space pruning done to the standard.
Insured and bonded
General liability insurance and a surety bond. We email a certificate of insurance before the job. Just ask. If a limb ever hits your roof, this is whose policy pays, and it should never be yours.
Why it matters when you compare quotes
A cheaper quote often leaves out one of these. When you compare, ask the other company for their L&I registration number and a certificate of insurance. It takes ten seconds to check, and it is usually where the price difference went.
