However, I have run a couple of well-known tree services through the website and came up empty-handed as well. I would appreciate it if anyone who knows about them let me know your thoughts. |
The company is an LLC (limited liability company). This is basically a name registration, NOT a license. If the business card says the company is licensed and insured, I would ask for the license number and proof of insurance.
In my opinion, Google reviews are totally worthless. Some companies have thousands of 5-star Google reviews. I would suggest that you select 2 or 3 reviewer names from the recent Google reviews, and ask the company to provide their phone number so you can call to verify the review.
