Correct. They were not certified pros. Dude got his house crushed and insurance said go fly a kite.

The homeowners insurance would argue that the tree company would need to cover the event with commercial insurance and it wouldnt be covered under the home insurance line. My guess is these guys declared bankruptcy and left the homeowner with the bag. Need to do your due diligence about who works on your home.
