COI tracking · Tree service companies

Don’t let an expired COI ground your tree crews

Tree work sits in one of the highest-risk insurance classes, and municipalities, HOAs, and property managers demand a current Certificate of Insurance before your crews arrive. COI Tracker tracks every renewal.

The job

Where this gets hard

High-risk premiums make renewals slow and costly

Climbing, chainsaw, and crane exposure push your Workers’ Comp and GL costs up and renewals take time. A reminder 30 days out gives your broker room to quote before coverage lapses.

Municipal and HOA accounts drop you fast if coverage lapses

Public and community accounts run strict certificate checks; an expired COI can pull you off their approved list. Reminders keep your paperwork ahead of the renewal.

Crane and stump-grinding subs bring their own certificates

When you sub out crane lifts or stump removal, the client still expects those subs insured. Add each as a vendor and get warned before any policy expires.

FAQ — Tree service companies

Can I track my own high-risk policies here?

Yes — add each policy as a vendor with your broker as the contact. When the reminder hits, Request Update emails the broker for the renewal declarations page.

How do I keep certs current for every subcontractor?

Add each sub as a vendor, upload their certificate, and set the expiry. Reminders fire and Request Update chases a fresh cert naming your company.

What about the certificates I give clients?

Store the issued PDF — with the client’s AI endorsement — on their row so you can produce it the moment a municipality or HOA asks.

Which plan suits a growing tree service?

Free tracks 3 vendors to start. Starter at $29/mo removes the cap; Growth at $59/mo adds CSV import for loading a full crew and account list.
