Affordable Cuts

My mother is recently widowed, dad died July 9, and wanted to have her yard cleaned up. She only called Affordable (ha ha) Cuts and the owner quoted her a price of $2300. He took down two sections of split rail fence (45 years old)that was so rotted my six year old could have knocked it down, cleaned out three flowerbeds, trimmed a few bushes, and removed a compost pile. About a half a days work at most. They didn't even haul the stuff away..they left it on the curb for trash pickup. He didn't cut the grass or clean up the area where a wood pile use to be. Some of the poles from the compost pile were dropped and left in my mother's backyard. My husband took pictures of this sorry job. I just want people to know to beware of this company. I called the owner and told him that I did not appreciate him taking advantage of my mother but all he said was that she agreed to the price. He did the bare minimum for the maximum price. Such a shame. My mother is living on a fixed income. Will report this to the BBB too. I placed this review on NextDoor and David Williams called my mother and told her that he was going to sue me for defamation of character getting my mother upset. My husband called him to tell him not to call his mother in law again and he was so rude my husband hung up on him. He did tell my husband that he had 30 man hours in the job. If you divide $2300 by 30 that equals $76.67 per hour for UNSKILLED LABOR...who gets that kind of money??? Do not call this company....HE IS A TOTAL RIPOFF AND SCAMMER!

During one of our recent storms a limb came down out of a tree and landed partially on my house and partially on the main power line to my house. After calling 3 others and having to leave messages and then on callback being told that there was a minimum fee that was pretty expensive I called Affordable Cuts. The phone was answered and after texting a pic of the damage I was given a quote that was much lower than the others "minimum fee". The guys came when they said they would and removed the limb from my house and cut it up. The crew was super nice and very professional. Also it was pouring rain at times while they worked. I cannot stress how much I appreciated the attitudes and quality of the work these folks did!

Services can be a bit pricey but the end result was awesome.

The job was completed while I was at work so I did not witness how it was performed. While I am satisfied with the trim job on the trees, I was not pleased that the mature azaleas near the trees were damaged by limbs allowed to fall down on them. 2 azaleas had half the bush broken away which will probaboly not grow back in. I also feel in retrospect that I overpaid for the work done. I wish I had obtained addtional estimates for this work before contracting.

They were all very good. My overall experience with them was very good. They were punctual. They were very, very careful to get everything done exactly right. The manager was always explaining what he wanted to do and why. Then when they got finished, he came back one or two times just to make sure that the brick was looking right and everything that we wanted was done right. They were conscientious. They know what they're doing. They want it done right. They were very hard workers. I guess, in general, just the overall job looks so good. I didn't think the price was too high.

In summary, I don't believe this project could have gone any better.  David's professionalism, on-time performance, quality, attention to detail, willingness to go the extra mile, as well as other attributes, were significant factors in the success of this endeavor.
