ATTS removed a small palm in front our our home in late November (2015). The cost was $350. We were told they would come back to remove the stump with a grinder whenever we wanted to schedule it. After the holidays, we requested them to come remove it. They have now promised us five (5!) different dates to remove the stump and have not kept their word on any of these dates. This past weekend, I spoke to Wayne (again) and he promised me (again) that it would be removed on either Saturday or Sunday. Well, today is Monday and the stump is still there. My guess is, because they quoted us for the stump removal at $50, it's not worth their time. Coincidentally, every time I called and asked about the stump removal, I was met with, "Well have you decided to remove the trees in your backyard, too?" The backyard tree removal is a very expensive job and I feel like I'm being held for ransom: the stump will be removed if and when we agree to thousands of dollars of work in our backyard. This is not an ethical way to run a business. To do half a job and leave an unsightly stump in front of someone's home for months shows a lack of consideration and respect for one's clients. No, thanks. We'll be contacting another service to remove the stump AND for the big, pricey job in the backyard. So disappointed.

John helped me install drywall in the kitchen and garage after the Austin snow storm caused a burst pipe and a chunk of water damage. John was very fairly priced, professional, prompt, and responsive. He specializes in drywall and does a wonderful job! Highly recommend.

J.T.C started on the scheduled start date and finished on the scheduled finish date. They removed and replaced approximately 60 feet of driveway in one week. The job was kept immaculate between phases and there were no surprises. I would highly recommend Jason Turner Cardosa for your concrete...

It was capably removed but came back within a few weeks. 911 came out again without hesitation, removed it and took additional steps to ensure it does not return. The service providers, Perry and Arturo, were awesome. Neat, tidy, efficient and thorough. Went the extra mile in my view.

FAQs for snow removal projects in San Diego, CA
Before hiring a snow removal company, it’s essential first to ask questions to understand the details thoroughly. Since every company has different policies and snow removal methods, it’s best to clarify upfront before you’re left in a heap of snow. Some starting questions to consider include:
What are the procedures for a snowstorm? Do I need to call you each time, or do you automatically come out?
Do you wait until after the snow has stopped falling or make multiple passes throughout the storm?
What is your method of removal?
Do you use salt after the snow is removed? Is it pet-safe?
How does your billing work? Do you bill extra for blizzard conditions?
Can I sign an annual contract, or do you bill for each storm?
The cost of an annual snow removal contract is $200 to $600. This cost is significantly impacted by the area you live in. Places that don’t receive considerable snowfall might charge less for an annual contract, and those areas that get heaps of snow throughout the fall and winter can expect to pay on the higher side. In addition, property size, expected response time, and extra services like clearing a sidewalk can also impact your cost.
Yes, most states require that snow removal companies be insured under workers' compensation. This protects the employees financially if an injury were to happen (and when dealing with ice and snow, it’s possible that injury could occur). In addition, most states require snow removal companies to be covered under general liability, which would help cover the cost of any property damage incurred during the removal process.
Depending on where you live and your average snowfall, removing snow from your property yourself with either a shovel or a snowblower is reasonable. A snow shovel costs around $60, and a snowblower can range from $100 to $2,300. However, taking a DIY approach to this isn’t always the best option. In these cases, it’s best to hire a professional snow removal company:
If you have a large property or an extended area that needs clearing
If you have certain health conditions, such as mobility issues
If you want to save time or need the snow removed ASAP
If you live in an area with frequent heavy snowfall and want to offset your time spent
If you lack the space to store snow removal equipment
It’s no surprise that removing snow from your driveway makes coming and going significantly easier and lowers the risk of falling. However, it’s important to note that if you don’t remove snow from your driveway, you run the risk of damaging your paving. As the snow melts, water can seep into your driveway. This can lead to the formation of cracks. When the water freezes, this expands the minor cracks, leading to more significant damage.

Annual snow removal costs can vary depending on the size of your property, your location, and any extra services you’re interested in. We’ll help you figure out the cost of an annual snow removal contract, along with DIY options to consider.
Snow throwers and snow blowers are often named interchangeably, but they aren’t the same. Learn the main differences between a snow thrower vs. snow blower.
