Very quick to return my phone call and set up an appointment for an estimate. They ran a little late in getting to the estimate appt and called to let me know they would be late -- understandable with all the work from the storm going on. The price was very reasonable and the work was done quickly, great job.
Description of Work: Had several tree limbs removed from a tree and one fallen limb from the Halloween storm removed,

This was the second time that I used them, and they did great. They showed up when they said they were going to show up; actually, they called and came a couple of days early, which was great. They did all the work as promised and cleaned up after themselves. The price was exactly what they had quoted me. I would rate them highly and would use them again in the future if necessary.
Description of Work: I used Stumpy’s Tree Service Inc to remove a tree for me. The tree was about sixty feet tall and had a diameter of four and a half feet.

I was nervous about this tree because it was in such bad shape, but I could tell they were professionals and I was completely satisfied.
Description of Work: The tree in front of my house was a 130 year old maple owned by my town and had previous damaged my roof in a storm 4 years ago, and further damaged in hurricane Irene, so the town contracted with Stumpy's to have it removed. They were awesome! This tree was close to my house and right next to power lines, but they were able to take the tree down carefully in pieces, making sure not to do any damage. They had all the necessary trucks and equipment, worked well as a team, got the job done in a little over an hour, and even did a great clean up job. I was very impressed and if I ever need any work done or know someone looking for a tree service, I would be happy to recommend them.

We were very pleased with the service provided by Stumpy’s Tree Service Inc. Company. They are very reliable. They called us before the service to talk about estimates. I also received a customer service call after the service was done. They seemed to be very concerned about pleasing their customers. The crew was very professional. They were very thorough. They did what they were supposed to do. They cleaned up well afterwards. Their estimate was exactly what I paid. I would use them again in the future.
Description of Work: I used Stumpy’s Tree Service Inc. Company in July. They removed four weak trees in our yard.

I had a different tree removal service provider remove a tree from my property which had fallen during the hurricane. The work was to be done in two parts. First they would remove the tree (which they did) and later would come by remove the stump. Unfortunately they never came back to remove the stump and didn't return any of my calls. I called Stumpy's to see if they could remove the stump. The women I spoke to on the phone was curt and wouldn't let me finish the details of the service I was requesting. She said that they wouldn't do work for anyone who had a bad experience with a previous provider because that would mean that I would not be happy with anyone's service. I was quite offended by this backhanded jab at my character particularly when she didn't even listen to what I was saying. I was happy with the tree removal by the other provider but simply couldn't get them to come back and do the stump removal. With winter coming I simply couldn't wait any longer. This was the most unprofessional experience that I've had with any service provider in a long time. And quite frankly, Stumpy's owes me an apology.
Description of Work: Did not want to perform stump removal service.

Response from Stumpy's Tree Service Inc
As I explained to the member, at this time, Stumpy's is not doing estimates for unfinished work done by another company. After trying to explain this to this gentleman, he then made it clear he was going to report us to Angie's list although, we had not done any work for him and cannot, at this time, clean up messes created by another company. I am sorry he was not happy with our policy, but I feel it important to let customers know if we cannot meet their needs.

When a large Poplar fell during the store I called them and left a msg. I also emailed with my address and phone numbers. I knew they would be in high demand so I wanted to get on their list and a call-back asap.They never called, or emailed. Automatic F! I don't care how busy you are or what the circumstances are. No call-back is an immediate red flag to me.

Please accept our apologies. We attempted to respond to over 2,000 calls from August 28 thru August 30 and if your call was not returned, I apologize. Also, we were without computer access for 3 days. It was a tough storm all around for many and we are sorry for the inconvenience.

When I called Stumpy's I spoke with a very friendly woman who arranged for Jeff to meet me at noon a few days later to take a look at the yard and give us an estimate. Jeff showed up at noon 'on the dot'. He walked the property with me and we talked about what needed to be done. He wrote up a quote, including a diagram and detailed description of the work to be done. We had already received one other quote from another company and decided to hire Stumpy's because they seemed more professional and gave us a more reasonable quote for what we needed done. On the morning that the work was to be done, Stumpy's showed up right on time. While one man was up in the bucket truck trimming the trees away from the roof, another trimmed the hemlocks. They worked together on the crab apple. They chipped the tree and the limbs, raked the yard where they had been working and left everything looking beautiful! We were impressed with their professionalism and also the quality of the work! About a 2 weeks later, tropical storm Irene blew through the area and now we have more tree work to be done. I'm confident that we'll be using Stumpy's services again very soon!
Description of Work: We had 2 tall trees overhanging our house that needed to be trimmed back away from the roof, 2 overgrown hemlocks in need of reshaping and a crab apple tree to be removed.

We solicited three bids. Stumpy's was the most detailed bid, and also the cheapest. They made the whole process a piece of cake, start to finish. They even offered to cut down a couple of branches from other trees, at no extra charge. They had to use our neighbor's driveway to get to the trees, and they were extremely careful to not damage anything on our neighbor's property or ours. Next time I need tree work done, I am calling one place: Stumpy's. Worth every penny.
Description of Work: We needed to remove a tree and a huge wisteria vine that grew up next to the tree and had completely entangled itself with the tree, all the way to the top (30-40 feet high). Both the tree and the vine were straddling the property line with our neighbor's house. We wanted to remove the tree and the vine, and have both stumps ground down.

I recently contracted Stumpy's Tree Service for the removal and pruning of several trees and bushes. I was completely satisfied with the whole process, from making the appointment(s) with Anna in the office, meeting with Mark to estimate the work and the actual work completion. The estimator arrived right on time and was happy to discuss several options with me. He listed each of the trees and provided a separate estimate for each portion of the job, allowing me to decide the work I wanted to have done that still fit my budget. When the workers arrived on the appointed day, they got right to work. Each member of the 4-person team was proficient and pleasant to deal with. I was most impressed with the way all team members transitioned seamlessly from working on individual jobs to joint efforts. The work was completed in about 2 hours - I thought it would take much longer - and they cleaned up everything afterwards. I would highly recommend Stumpy's Tree Service for both price and quality.

The work was done in a very professional manner and at a fair price. I could not be more pleased, as they cleaned up the work area better than if I had done it myself. They did such a good job, I could schedule a cookout on the patio for tonight. I would recommend Stumpy's Tree Service to anyone who needed tree services.
Description of Work: At the end of June, I received a proposal to remove a large Red Maple which had two trunks, that was estimated to be about 45 years old and to prune a massive Sugar Maple that is well over 75 years old that are located in my back yard. The estimate for the removal was $575 and the pruning was $325, for a total of $900. About 10 years ago, I had had a Norway Maple, much smaller than either of these trees, removed from my front yard and that cost $1500, with the stump ground. As scheduled, Stumpy's arrived today, with 4 massive trucks: one with an enclosure with a massive chipper, a bucket truck, a crane and logger. The workers surveyed the property to determine how to address the work and relocated my patio furniture, grill and potted plants to an area where they would not be damaged. The crane truck had to maneuver around utility lines from across the street to the house to the location that he had to set the outriggers and raise the crane to remove the double tree. With four or five cuts and lifts, the tree was removed to the ground. As this area is a mulched area, we chose to not grind the stump, the stump protrudes about 2 inches at the highest point and will be covered with mulch. In the meanwhile, the bucket truck was used to prune the Sugar Maple, which towers over my 2 story home. As the trees were being cut, one of the workers chipped the debris. When all the cutting was done, they collected all the branches, twigs and leaves and chipped them. They followed this up by raking the sawed chips from the area around where the trees were cut and used a leaf blower to collect the finer particles. Upon completing the cleanup, they replaced the patio furniture, grill and plants exactly as they were.

When I emailed, they called me back right away, even following up when I did not get back to them right away. Once we connected, they sent someone out to give an estimate the next weekend. Once we got the tree trimming date, it was pretty far out from the day they wrote up the estimate. But when I called to move the work date up, they were very accomodating and moved it up a week. Everything was cleaned up before they left. And they called again to make sure I was satisfied. Great customer service.
Description of Work: They did extensive prunning to 2 very large trees, cut down 2 smaller trees and ground down those stumps.

They removed the trees from the property and even ground down the stumps. Chris from Stumpy's showed up for the estimate EARLY on Saturday which was awesome for us. Who wants to wait around on a weekend? He gave us a few estimates. One estimate was for the work completed in pieces and one estimate was for the work completed as a whole. The discount to complete all of the work in one day was substantially less and we opted for that quote. Their customer service was SUPERB! The ladies in the office called to confirm and followed up to see if we were pleased. We did encounter one problem. The guys trimmed three of the wrong trees--they were trees on the edge of the property that we really didn't care about. It was an honest mistake and they came out to rectify to the situation within one week. Chris knew each species of tree and even gave unsolicited advice on other shrubs and trees in the yard. My boyfriend, who is VERY difficult to please, made a point of telling me to submit a review on Stumpy's. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs tree work. They are very professional.
Description of Work: We had to have 4 trees removed and several more cleaned up. Some of the trees were VERY large and very tall.

Jason, Manny and Oscar were very efficient and left the job without any leaves or bark on the ground. I was very happy that they could do such a good job in a short amount of time.

Stumpy's was excellent from start to finish. Jeff arrived for the free estimate exactly when he said he'd be there. Their estimate was the lowest of three estimates by far. I was actually a little nervous that their quote was so much lower than the other two. We needed the tree removed within two weeks and they were here within a week to do the job. They called the day before to let us know they'd be coming in the morning. I left for work in the morning with the tree in the yard and when I came home that evening all traces of the tree were gone. The yard was clean. The stump was gone. I would never have known that they were here, except that the tree was gone. I couldn't ask for a better job.

We called several companies give us opinions & estimates on pruning, 2 large mature trees, removing 9 others and 1 large, mature shrub, removing a large pile of brush & grinding all stumps. This was the first phase of a project to improve our yard.The trees to be removed were all at the back of our yard in an area that is always slightly damp so protecting the yard from damage during the removal was a concern. Stumpy's gave us a very competitive price and did a great job! They were punctual, efficient, & very careful to protect the yard as much as possible. They were great - we'll call them again in the future & recommend them!

They did get back to us quickly and did the estimate in a very timely manner. We thought it was a good and fair estimate, but we haven?t decided if we are going to do the project yet. The price to remove two trees was $700 each and the third one was $800. They seemed very professional and told us exactly how they were going to do the tree removal. We would probably hire them when we come around to doing the work.

There was an issue with a very narrow gate opening in our stockade fence to access the backyard with the chipper. Two other tree companies said they couldn't do it without removing fence or craning it over. Taking a look and removing the outer set of tires, the fellows of Stumpy's squeaked their grinder through the gate and got the job done on the spot--the day of the estimate. We were pleased to have this done at a reasonable price.

Very well. It was hard to see the hemlock go, but they removed it very carefully so as not to damage the surrounding trees or the house.
Description of Work: I called Stumpy's to come and give an estimate on removing a 30 foot poplar and to remove branches from the yard that had fallen in several storms. they came out the next day and in walking the property they pointed out to me a badly cracked 55 foot hemlock that I had not noticed and that was close to the house. Based on the tree's proximity to the house and the potential for it to do damage if it came down. We added this into the job. The next day, in the pouring rain they came and took care of all of the tree work.

Jason showed up to give us a quote the same week we called and was very nice. After he presented it to us, we booked them right away because our only other quote was for almost twice the price ($3500). They called us a week later and asked if they could clear some snow from our property so they could get their equipment to the trees. Later that day they showed up with a bobcat and cleared snow from a large section of property. They were back the next day with a crane, flatbed, cherry picker, and about 6 guys. They were having fun with their work, and cheered loudly as they pulled one of the largest ash trees up with a crane. I would definitely use them again as they were very nice, did the job well, and were by far the cheapest.
Description of Work: Removed seven large dead ash trees.
