Let me add that Saturday night the area had a violent storm, heavy rains, wind with a tornado nearby. No doubt Pinellas Tree Service had ringing phones and many requests for their services. My wife and I very much appreciate their prompt attention to our problems and rapid response.
We could not be more pleased with their help.
As an aside, it's easy to find unlicensed. unbonded "tree services" (usually two guys, a truck and a ladder), Pinellas Tree gladly shows proof of proper bonds and licenses.
"I do not see in my records that we worked for this homeowner but I can offer some information. As a business owner for 39 years, currently a professional tree service that has a Certified Arborist,can give proof of Workman's compensation & general liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 coverage, and that has the proper personnel & equipment,and actually has a office or business location,to stay in business the company needs to get $75 per.man hour minimim.(this info. has been well documented),. I wounder if the home owner thought about travel time & time to dispose of cuttings. Sounds like the homeowner made out pretty good as long as long as they got a quality job."
.Later when I understood a little more fully what I had done, I realized that I had been taken. Should have told to carry out the contract and what he didn't do, we could have gotten done by another service for less than $2500. The Invoice that followed reinforced that idea: difference between the original contract and invoice - 1 live oak.
When I notified our property manager, she agreed that the invoiced amount was far too much (after the fact, $3000 would have been appropriate). She spoke to the manager of Pinellas Tree Service who rejected any change in the contract as signed by me at the time of the cutting. So, I paid $2000 out of pocket (for my mistake) of that $5,000 and the association paid the rest.
Bottom line: the company probably is a legitimate tree service - they did a good job and cleaned up well after - but beware that this company will likely step in if they see an opportunity to cash in! Good work, poor ethics!
"The original proposal was for $4,950 to professionally prune the trees, this included pruning the trees away from the buildings, raising and crown cleaning. They rejected the proposal and only wanted to prune the trees away from the buildings and raise for $2,450 which was agreed to. Upon arriving to supervise the work Tony (owner) discussed the job with the board member in charge before starting the job. Tony explained that without doing the crown cleaning that we would not be doing the quality of work we are used to doing. The last thing we want is to do the job and then have a customer not happy with our work and have everyone asking why didn't you cut this or that.After some discussion it was agreed that the right thing to do was to do the crown cleaning and to include another large Oak and some smaller trees to complete the job for $5,000."
