Description of Work: Cortese removed a large dead limb as well as many small limbs from a large tree in our backyard. The entire experience was great, everyone from the specialist who came out to inspect the tree to the two service men who performed the word were knowledgeable and friendly. I feel confident that we made the right decision by choosing them over the two other companies we had received quotes from.

Description of Work: I used Cortese previously when living at another house. When I called for an estimate for my current house, the arborist appointment was quickly scheduled and estimate given the same day. I have a lot of trees and expected a big ticket. The issue I have was that the scheduling of the actual work took phone calls, emails, and five weeks before their crews were available. When the crews did come out, two trees were missed. After an email exchange, they were cleaned up the next day. Cortese did a good job and left no debris from the 15+ trees and shrubs that were pruned. If you're not in a hurry, consider them for your project.

One of the trunks on a tree that had bowed and looked as if it would come down. Upon calling, Tom set an appointment to come and look. He gave me two options with prices, to remove the trunk or to have a person trim the upper portion to allow the trunk to partially spring back and see if it would continue to straighten. I chose the latter option. I asked that I be notified the night before so that I could secure the dogs while the work was to be done. I was called one night and the work was done, all within a couple of weeks of the estimate and earlier than promised. We were pleased with the result. We did get a phone call a couple of days later to ask if we were pleased with the work.
Description of Work: Upper branch was trimmed to restore shape of tree.

Tom spent a good amount of time explaining that there was no major problem and how to take minor action to correct disturbance, he was friendly and obviously very knowledgeable.
Description of Work: Tom Schmidt came out to the house to look at some trees that had been giving us trouble. This was a free estimate.

This is a quality, very professional company that knows what it is doing. They are high priced, but we wanted the job done right since our and our neighbor's houses were involved. They broke the estimate down tree by tree so we could pick all or any part of what we wanted done. We have another dying tree that they gave an estimate on that is not close to the house, and the person giving the estimate said we could probably get another company to do it for less than they would charge, so we didn't have them take down that tree. They coordinated having the power lines dropped with their work, came when they said they would, brought the equipment needed, and finished when they said they would. They did the work without our supervision while we were at work. It didn't seem to us that the volume of two of the trees had been reduced by 25% as they had said they would do, so we called them back and they came back and took out more limbs. No problems.
Description of Work: Took down a small red oak and a red bud that were close to a neighbor's porch. Wires had to be dropped to take down the small red oak and the red bud. Maintenance-pruned two healthy large white oaks and a healthy red oak that were close to our house, reducing the volume of each tree by 25%. moved all wood and brush.

I received a free estimate prior to any work being performed. David (the arborist) arrived as scheduled, and went over various options and recommendations with me. We agreed on the work that would be performed, and he provided an estimate that day. The work was performed approximately 2 weeks after the initial review and it also went very well. 3 workers arrived as scheduled, and completed all of the work in approximately 6 hours. All waste was sent through a chipper, and all areas that they worked in were raked and cleaned - once they were done, there was no debris left on the ground. A couple of days after the work was completed, David (the one who provided the estimate) arrived to review the work that was done. He wanted to make sure all of the work was to my expectation - when I stated that it was, he then gave me the invoice. If there were any issues, they would have been resolved prior to delivery of the invoice. I will use Cortese again next year for more pruning.
Description of Work: Removed (3) trees - a 50+ white pine, and (2) cherry trees that had grown into a post oak. Also pruned numerous trees that were overhanging the house or needed to be cleaned-up.

We contacted Cortese Tree Service for an estimate. A gentleman came out as promised to provide us with an estimate. The work was scheduled the following week and was completed as promised. We were charged exactly what we were told the cost would be and the crew was courteous and prompt in performing their duties. We have found that it is difficult to find competent and conscientious contractors in this city and we were overwhelmed by this company's wonderful service.
Description of Work: Several limbs were trimmed back and two trees that were growing around some power lines were removed.

So far our poor Maples are surviving---after years of neglect by previous owners---many of our neighbors trees have died, so we are happy.
Description of Work: We treat our trees and shrubs every year. With David's help, we hope to keep our trees alive as long as possible. He is very knowledgeable and does not suggest unnecessary treatments.

He quoted us $750 to have the maple tree cut down and have the stump and two other stumps ground down (the previous owners had trees cut down, but left the stumps). However, when the men came to do the work, they didn't grind out the stumps, but they didn't charge us for it. We later found out (from a friend) that grinding out the stump was unnecessary in a wooded lot and would have been a waste of money, so the workers saved us from ourselves, and saved us $250, which we appreciated. I appreciated the fact that the company is Eco-friendly (i.e. it would have been easy for the estimate man to recommend cutting down the pine tree, even though it was still mostly healthy). The employees that we met were very friendly and professional. My only complaint is that I emailed them but didn't hear back and that it took my husband calling to actually get an appointment made; granted, I don't know if they actually got the email because I sent it on a weekend.
Description of Work: We heard about this company on the local NRP station (WUOT) picked this company because they support (underwrite) the local NPR station. They came out and gave us a free estimate. The man that came out to give us an estimate was very knowledgeable about trees. We asked him to look at two trees (a pine and a maple) in our back yard. He said that the maple tree had died and needed to be cut down, but that the pine tree had gotten its roots tangled up with another tree, but that it was pretty resilient and might come back, so he suggested waiting rather than cut it down since most of the tree was still healthy. They did cut down the dead maple tree in our back yard.

Cortese staff came to our house, examined the situation, gave advice on which branches should be removed to eliminate current and future hazards, and provided a written estimate. We accepted the estimate, and a couple of weeks later their crew came and trimmed the branches while we were at work. When we came home, the branches were gone and there was almost no other evidence that the crew had been there (they had cleaned up everything).
Description of Work: Removed large dead branches from very high in the canopy of a tall oak tree, and pruned some other branches from trees near our house.

They did a good job and I was impressed with the dedication they showed getting the job done. They used professionalism cutting the trees down so that the trees did not hit anything on my property. They used extra care not to tear up my lawn while working and they cleaned up all of the debris before leaving the job. I was comfortable with them out on my property and it only took two days for them to complete the job.
Description of Work: They cut down 3 pine trees in my front yard, stumps included.
