I looked at several different contractors for the job that I needed done. Tim’s bid came in under asking. When his crew had availability, Sandy scheduled for the next day for them to come in. They set up very quickly in the morning after confirming again the work I needed done. They progressed through the job seamlessly - they were very efficient and overall we’re mindful of the property which I appreciate it. I would highly recommend them to do any of your tree service or even lot clearing needs.

Sandy came out within hours of my contact and provided me with a terrific estimate. $525 total for cutting down the tree, removing it and grinding the large stump. Tim came out with his crew the very next morning and completed all the work within one hour. He was very professional and efficient. Extremely pleased. I would recommend him to everyone. A+++

We hired Tim to remove three large branches from two trees in our backyard based on a most satisfactory experience with him in the past. He gave no indication that there would be any problems, quoted us a price that seemed reasonable and indicated that it would be to remove the branches entirely. Or at least to the point where, as he stated, it would not make the tree look terrible. When the crew arrived they seemed to have no idea what they were there for. When I told them what I had discussed with, they swore that if we removed the large branches it would kill the tree. Tim never said anything about that when we first discussed the job. But I trusted their expertise so I told them to remove as much as possible without harming the tree. The crew worked for maybe two hours and while they did cut the branch off of one tree, all they did to the other was to cut off some of the smaller branches from the larger ones. Again, they swore that they’d cut off as much as they dared without killing the tree. This was not what we had agreed upon. They also damaged several decorative lights that we had strung up around our yard and left scratches on our fence. They insisted upon the full amount we had agreed upon of $750.00 and told me that if I had any concerns I could call the office and Tim would make it right. Foolishly, I gave them the full amount. They don't take credit cards and did not provide me an invoice. When I later called the office manager, Sandra, she seemed shocked that the job we had discussed had not been completed and assured me that she would contact Tim and make sure that he stopped by and took a look. When I mentioned the damage she said that people were supposed to remove anything fragile from underneath the tree but apologized for not saying so. I didn’t hear anything after that despite several calls and texts. When I did get a hold of her she was short tempered and claimed that I had called her while she was visiting a sick friend. I apologized for interrupting her at such a crucial time and she said she would make sure Tim would get back to me. For several days I heard nothing despite several more calls and texts. When I finally did hear back from her she rather snippily texted that Tim had stopped by to take a look while we weren’t home, despite the fact that we wanted to speak with you personally about this, and that he would refund us $100. I misunderstood the text and assumed he would be stopping by. When I asked for clarification she told me that the branches on the tree were too difficult to remove due to their proximity to the fence. This was never mentioned when Tim first came to our house nor did she say anything about the crew's assurance that removing the branches would kill the tree. If that had been the case we would never have hired him simply to remove some small branches. I told Sandra that we were not satisfied with this and she rather rudely told us that we weren’t tree experts and that as such we didn’t decide what the price was. She further said that as for my wife’s “little lights” we should have had the common sense to move them and that the refund amount was not negotiable, the balance of which would be in the mail that following Friday. That was almost a week ago and we still haven’t seen any refund. Needless to say we will never use this company's services again.

We decided to use Tim Mente Tree Experts based on the reviews as well as the fact that he was one of the lower bids. Tim Mente's crew was amazing. They worked together as a team to cut down and remove six large trees. One tree in particular was extremely tall , probably close to 100', with branches extending over our house. They expertly brought down every single branch safely without touching the house, shed, deck, rain gutters, fence, or any other structure of ours or our neighbors. They also pruned one tree in the front to shape it up and get the branches away from the house. They stump ground and hauled away all of the debris from our yard. When they were finished, which was much faster than I thought, it was like they were never there--except for the fact that several trees were gone, everything was cleaned and taken away. Excellent job! Real professionals.

Hired to count down three large trees, grin the stumps and roots. Job was done quickly. Damaged the fence an replaced the damaged portion for us. They did miss several roots and when asked about it said that when we get the landscaping done they would be able to put soil and did over it.

In the area for another job-knocks on all doors-i asked for it!
Very dangerous working crew-damaged my roof, my driveway, broke surrounding trees.
Did not leave only firewood, in fact took all usable material-after agrreeing to leave only fire wood.
Cost 200 to get someone else tp haul it away!
Subsequent tree care advised-all very bad cuts-all trees trimmed will die soon.Never use this service. bad bad bad

Tim M. when I called came out very quickly to give me an estimate. When I did call him he responded within
24 hours of my phone messages which amazed me because he got married and was coordinating all of this in between it.
We arranged a time and he came out and did the job outstanding. I got several quotes and his was the best in Montgomery County.
You would be amazed what they did in one day. I have used in the past other tree companies and Tim M. is at the top.

Overall it went really well. We had sort of a slow start there because of a miscommunication, and I could have been our fault. So, once we got everything going and scheduled. He really did an amazing job. We had quite a few quotes and he came in by far the cheapest and we are really happy and satisfied with the final job.

Tim provided an estimate that was fair and very competitive. His office then scheduled a date to take down the tree.
They cleaned up the site and were done as planned.

They were great from beginning to end. The estimate was fast and the best one. They were easy to set an appointment with. They were punctual, professional and very good at their job. They delivered exactly what they said they would.
