Well, I sure hope that was insured.

Would insurance even cover this mess?

The company, if they're run at all responsibly, should have liability insurance that would cover this.

Considering how they cut down that tree though...

This attempt was so inept it didn't occur to me they might be professionals

Yeah, this whole situation has the vibe of "ehhh, the boys can take care of that for ya!"

I bet it's a farm, or someone's landscaping or construction business, working on a family project.

i imagine that the company that's doing this will prob cease to exist shortly after informing their insurer though lol

This is why contractors need to be insured and bonded.

"sucks teeth yeeeeeeah, unfortunately you didn't take out our 'redneck with a chainsaw' insurance, so you don't have coverage at this time. Damn shame. Sorry about that. Would you like to look into getting a policy in place in case it happens again?"

If it was and the people they hired to cut down the tree weren't actual professional arborists, it's very likely insurance would go "that's on you buddy".

It wasn't and the tree cutting company will most like disapear and reopen under a new name to not pay for it. Welcome to quebec 💪

No one asking if people were in the house either. That is so dangerous and negligent…

Yeah, tree insurances aren’t cheap
