Dave was great. He returned my initial call promptly, and we discussed his coming out to give me an estimate. He stopped by the house first when I wasn't home (which was fine), and then willingly scheduled a time to come out a second time because I had follow-up questions. Both on the phone and in person, he answered all my questions, was very knowledgeable, explained clearly what he recommended doing and why, and when he came to the house the second time he gave me an estimate on the spot. At my request, he broke out one part because I couldn't decide whether I wanted 2 particular limbs trimmed or removed entirely. He also told me that if I wanted him to take off a smallish limb on a separate tree that otherwise wasn't being trimmed, there would be no additional cost, and I should just write it on the estimate if/when I sent it back with a deposit. His estimate was comparable in price to other estimates we received, if not a bit lower (everyone had a slightly different idea of what needed to be done, so it was a little hard to compare). We chose him because we felt most comfortable with him, his recommendations, and his explanation of why he made the recommendations he made. He called about a week after I mailed the deposit in and asked if he could come the next day. Since he said we didn't need to be home, the timing wasn't a problem. He showed up the next day with 3 other people, and they got right to work as I was leaving. They cleaned up everything when they finished, and hauled away all the branches/limbs. The trees look great, and he did everything we agreed on in the estimate. I highly recommend him.
Description of Work: Removed a number of dead limbs (some quite large) from several fully mature oak trees, removed two large live limbs that were extending over the house from one of the trees. Removed smaller dead wood from trees when encountered it as part of removing the dead limbs. Took away all removed/trimmed wood.

I called + left a message on his website and he called me back within the hour. After we discussed the job, he called me shortly thereafter from his cell phone while walking around my property so we could discuss the trees. They were able to do the work right then -- cut down two trees, ground a stump, hauled away the wood. All on trust - it was done by the time I got home from work that day. After horrible experiences with some other tree services, it was a relief to see that some people still have a solid work ethic.
Description of Work: Evaluated state of some trees & bushes. I had originally wanted just trims, but we discussed the health and aesthetic appearance of two trees and he recommended removals (dying, ugly). They cut down the trees, ground 1 stump, hauled away the wood.

I got four quotes for my back yard tree removal. The oak was dead and leaning over, so I was concerned it might fall on my roof or the neighbor's roof during a storm or wind gusts. It required manual work to chop the tree in pieces by chainsaw as no other equipment could reach the back. DNA's price was the highest, and they recommended removing a second tree, and would not guarantee against damage to my fence. I selected another less expensive provider to do only what I wanted done, and who simply removed two sections of fence during the cutting to avoid any damage.
Description of Work: Provided a quote to remove a 35 foot oak tree.

Dave always showed up when he said he would -- from coming to do the estimate to doing the work. He called quickly with the estimate, he and his crew worked very efficiently, and he kept me apprised of how the day was going. I plan to use his company on a regular basis now to keep my yard in consistently good shape.
Description of Work: My yard was a mess! (I'm not proud of that, but it really needed attention.) Dave and his crew thoroughly trimmed the shrubs/bushes, weeded, did a little transplanting, removed a forsythia, mulched and laid stones.

They came out to begin the work immediately after sending in the signed contract and deposit. It was done in a jiffy- quickly, efficiently and they cleaned up completely the same day! They even cleaned up the yard beyond where they had left branches etc. They were wonderful! I would recommend them to anyone!
Description of Work: After having several estimates for cutting down several trees and trimming trees on our property, we decided to go with Dave. He came out a second time to survey our property to get a second estimate before starting work. We had several trees cut down and a bunch of high branches that were hanging over our home cut down.

DNA Tree Service is one of the few companies that still uphold their customers' satisfaction with honest and excellent work while treating customers with respect. These are definite characteristics of a business who wants to keep their customers for years, and not just for one time. We highly recommended him.
Description of Work: DNA Tree was the last of 4 estimates. Dave was recommended from a colleague who used his services in the past 2 years. We were very pleased with our decision. From estimate to contract to completion of the service, everything was performed with skill and professionalism. He performed everything in the contract. As expected he expertly cut the large trees and kept the property clean during and after the project. He completed this arduous job in one full day. Dave Kull is exactly as he says, full of experience and very knowledgeable.

Stay away from this guy. He sounds nice on the phone, but is a terrible businessman. THE WORST!
Description of Work: David, owner of DNA tree service was contacted by myself 1/10. I have trees that needed trimmed due to unusual amount of heavy snow. He came, gave me a written estimate, I sent him the required 10 % deposit 2/1/10. That was the last I heard from him until I called him 7/10. He told me he dropped the ball and would pull my paperwork to start the job. Never heard from him again until this morning 10/5/10. He told me he was sending back my deposit and was not going to do the job, Now the trees are my problem again.

Response from DNA Tree Service
To start I will say that we were unable to get out ta job and do the work as promised. My mistake. This is an aboration and I do not like to make excuses. I made a mistake and sold a very small job at a winter rate in an area that is out side the area where we normally work. That was right before 2 blizzards that caused extensive tree and shrub damage, a prolonged hospital visit for my dad, his funeral, caring for a mom with memory issues who later fell and broke her hip. I was hopful we could get outto them during the slow summer. A series of powerful thunderstorm has had us going no stop for two months now. This is not the service we pride ourselfs on....please read the other reports. Thank you, Dave.

The work was done promptly and efficiently, and it did not take long from the date of his evaluation until the day he was able to complete the work. The equipment did leave large tracks/divots in the yard that I wish he would fill in as part of the service. Also, be sure to look for the coupons on his website-- he did not mention them, but when we asked, he honored the advertised deal, and the coupon saved us 10%.

gutter cleaning
  + -1 more
I have used mr Dave for over 5 years to clean gutters nad to remove trees. Including 2 stubborn Holly trees, to the ground stump. However, during a recent gutter cleaning the workers knocked off one of my gutter pipes and I asked that they reattach it. When they put it back they failed to put both screws in and I warned that I thought it was pretty precarious. Unfortunately a month later , it did indeed fall down again. I called and asked that they come out and replace the pipe as soon as possible. mr. Dave left me a message a week later and promised that he would get someone over to put the gutter back. I returned his call, thanked him and told him I understood there were a lot of storms in the area, I would be travelling, but just come in to the yard and put it up. Four weeks past and I did not hear from Mr. Dave, nor did anyone come to replace my gutter. When I returned from my trip, I left a very stern and disappointed message regarding the failure. Mr. Dave left me a message that included the following information 1) they had been very busy, 2) he had been gone 2 weeks, 3) the gutter was probably loose anyway, 4) you probably already got someone to put it back. When I heard the message I was even more disappointed... somehow there seemed to be a disconnect. Mr. Dave did not apologize, he only explained, and his explanation saddled the bulk of the blame on me, nature and coincidence. I called back and expressed my disappointment again and ended by stating that I did not appreciate the treatment of an otherwise loyal customer. A simple phone message indicatng it was not going to get done as promised, or that he had to go out of town for two weeks and he would not be directing anyone else to do it, either would have been acceptable notice. BUT he did nothing until I called angain angry, and then he proceeded to tell me why I had no right to be angry, and he was going to cut off my year round gutter service as well, effective immediately. WOW.... so I suppose if I had just not said anything and simply found someone else to do it I would not be punished. As I think about it now, I suppose if I had just offered to pay for the reattachment, it would have gotten done. The underlying tone of his final communication with me was that he had a lot of other work and he did not need mine. I am very saddened by these events. It is unfortunate that longtime customers do not warrant the same respect and attention as new $$$$. If he had jsut told me he needed me to pay for services inorder for him to keep his promise to correct, I would have.I will miss DNA.
Description of Work: I have used mr Dave for over 5 years to clean gutters and to remove trees, $65. Including 2 stubborn Holly trees, to the ground stump. $350-$750. They also installed the gutter guards on my house.

I had used DNA Tree Service a few years ago and was very pleased so when a tree limb was damaged during one of the recent storms, I gave them a call. Dave Kull promptly came to my house and estimated the work required (this included the removal of two pine trees as well). We mutually agreed, because my damaged limb wouldn't cause any damage if it fell, that they would take care of more urgent work first. Dave was very good about keeping me informed of when they would be able to come out to the house. Dave is professional, knows his business and does good work. The cost was very fair considering the nasty stories I heard from co-workers about price gouging after the storms. He doesn't try to sell work that isn't needed. In fact, he was very upfront with me when I asked for work that he didn't think needed to be done. I really appreciate that kind of honesty.

The service they gave was excellent. They were very careful. They cleaned everything. They came when they said they would. The person who came here went through everything ahead of me. He answered all my questions and took the time to look at all the trees. He gave me a lot of suggestions, and he was not pushy at all. Overall, I had a very good experience with them.

Dave had done a couple of estimates for me, but I was not able to give him the go-ahead until late July. That was right after one our fierce summer storms and DNA was fully booked. However, he was able to get to me within ten days. When the crew arrived they went straight to work and did an excellent job. They were professional, polite, and efficient. Dave came back in a couple of days to grind the stumps. The job went very well.
Description of Work: I had DNA cut down and remove approximately four or five trees (small to medium size) in the backyard; two tree stumps groundup and removed as well as tree limbs that hung over my house. I also had them remove debris in the back and side yard from current and past storms as well as an old log. I also had the old hedge and pine tree on the front of my house cut down and taken away. Accessible hedge stumps were ground too.

I selected DNA Tree Service because of their high Angie's List rating. I was not disappointed. After the recent major thunderstorm, I noticed several branches in my front yard that were in danger of falling. Amazingly, Mr. Kull, the owner of DNA tree service, stopped by to look at my situation the same day I called. I paid a 10% deposit, though I would have to wait for my turn for service, given all of the work this storm generated for DNA. When the DNA crew arrived less than two weeks later, they were extremely efficient and professional. The offending limbs were handled in short order, and after the DNA crew's cleanup, my front yard looked better than it did before they arrived. I am completely satisfied with their work and I would definitely use them again.
