We used Tip Too for the removal of a large tree in our backyard. Tom came out to give us an estimate and was very knowledgeable and answered questions about several trees in our yard although it wasnt related to the service. He made great recommendations and was very helpful. When the tree was removed the team was quick and professional. There was one issue with the work but the owner was willing to work with me to remedy the issue. Overall we had a great experience and would use Tip Top again

I needed 1 large, dead, Elm tree and 2 dead Arizona Cypress removed. They showed up exactly when they said they would. They made short work of all the trees and they cleaned up so well it was like they were never there. The workers were awesome. Jim Lewandowski provided excellent customer service. I would definitely recommend them oh, and I will definitely use them again.

We have used this Company on several occasions at two locations. Crew always on time. Provided clear communication respects job and end results. Very impressed by the workers leaving a clean job site without any debris upon completion. The cost is very competitive considering the excellent detailed overall job. Office Staff very concise as to scheduling and proposals. Nice Work Tip Top!

The crew was punctual, personable and very professional. They arrived at the promised 7:30 AM start time and by 8:05 they were raking the last remnants of leaves and debris into their rig to depart. We were given a quote of $425.00 at the time our contract was signed and that was the amount we paid at the conclusion. We have a guest house that sits precariously close (within 6 feet) of this tree which concerned us; but we shouldn't have been; the crew were alert to that hazard and avoided it without hesitation. The crew worked as one, like a well oiled machine.

The son of the owner + one employee did a professional, on time removal of four (4) trees. The contract was made with the owner/father. He told me his son would do the work. We agreed on a price (reasonable from the price I got from another contractor), a date and time. The son + one employee were on time; they were friendly; they were courteous; they shared a sense of humor; told me what they were going to do ...and did it. I strongly recommend them.

The work was done in an expeditious manner and as contracted. The Sycamore's were fairly close to the house and removed with caution and without incident. The neighbors tree was trimmed without making look like it had been. The Italian Cypress were cleaned up nicely and look great. I will use Tip Top again.
