Personal experience:
My neighbor had a HUGE and I mean HUGE tree that was right on out fence line but in her yard . That tree has worried me for years and when it stormed and was windy, I would actually pray for my house to be protected from that tree. It was a constant worry.
I discussed with her and even offered to pay half, if she’d have it removed but she said she didn’t want to remove it.
Well…a month ago, we had a storm (neighbors were not home at the time) and not even a bad storm, just rain. That tree had enough and fell. Thank the Lord, it didn’t fall on my house, however it did fall on her house. I felt so bad for her, but at the same time was relieved my house was ok. Come to find out, her insurance would not pay for it because they told her 2 years earlier to have it removed and she didn’t. I feel horrible for her. She said it costed $12,000 to have it removed. Also, after it fell, we could see it was all rotted on the inside.
Of course, she had someone come remove it, it took 16 hours for the tree removal. About 1/2 of her house is smashed and she said the ceiling on one side all fell in so the only see the beams. I haven’t seen any work or contractors come to the house and it’s still covered with tarps. Not sure what is going on (maybe trying to get insurance to pay or perhaps she doesn’t have the money to repair it??)
I say all this to tell you - if you are concerned, do not hesitate one moment to have it removed. It will take away your worries and may save your home and possibly your lives. Trust me, you will have no regrets removing it, but you may have regrets later on that you didn’t.
