A useful quote starts with what's actually on site.
We put the scope in writing so you can see what's included, what isn't, and what needs special attention before anyone starts a saw.
Walk it through
We review the location, access, timing and the work you want done. Photos help us prepare.
Written scope
We describe the work and note relevant hazards, site conditions, photos and options.
Approve the plan
Review the proposal and exact scope before authorizing work. Electronic acceptance can be arranged when offered for that project.
Your proposal, right on your phone.
KVM proposals come as a link you open on your phone. It opens under a pile of leaves (or snow, blossoms or corn, depending on the season) that a leaf blower clears away. Then read the plan, tap the photos to bring them to life, and sign with your finger. You still get a printable copy for your records.
- A new look every season, plus holiday surprises.
- Ask about any part of the plan right from the proposal.
- Tell us where you stand with one tap: ready, not yet, a question, or a different direction.
- Sign with your finger.
- Share, print or save your copy.
Site-unseen estimates
Some proposals are prepared without a site visit, from your description, photos and conversations. If conditions on site differ, such as the size of the tree, the amount of material, access or ground conditions, KVM discusses any price change with you before doing the affected work.
A real plan.
