They did a super job and were polite, but there was a small communication problem.
Henry with Specialist Tree Service came the day I called and gave us a quote and came 2 days later and the job was done! I have to say, that the reason it was 2 days was because of rain. When the crew arrived, they went to work and in about 2 hours they were finished with the tree and everything was cleaned up. Amazing! We were really pleased with the friendliness and professionalism of Specialist Tree Service. Thanks to all of you!
In the end, I decided to go with Specialist Tree Service. I called them back a couple weeks later and Jesse promptly returned my call. He stated Henry's quote of $685 already included the 5% Angie's List discount. I tried to correct him since I had the quote in hand, but he said that was the price. If i wanted another discount, he "could do it cheaper in Greenbacks."
A cash price of $675 was agreed upon.
They showed up at 7am the next day with a crew of 4-5 guys. Neither Henry nor Jesse were with this crew.
We paid the $675 cash but were never given a receipt for the services.
My only concern with their service was the difference in quoted price between brothers and the lack of receipt after the trees were trimmed.
Sure enough, they even showed up a little early for the job! A crew of at least six guys (I think more showed up after I left for work) descended on our property like a well-oiled team of tree sculptors. In just a couple hours all five trees had been trimmed and all the branches hauled off to the chipper truck.
I could hardly believe the difference. Areas of our yard can now hope for grass instead of just muddy paths where nothing would grow. Unlike what I read on other company's review pages, there weren't branches or piles of wood chips or any evidence left behind, except five great looking trees.
While I don't think we'll be in the house long enough to need another good tree trimming like this, if we do stick around we'll definitely be calling Specialists again.
