"Dear Mr. [Member Name Removed]. We are sorry you had a bad experience with a tree service in our area however, we have not done any work at [Member Information Removed] Roanoke, VA, [Member Information Removed], and do not have any information on you in our system.

We take remarks such as the one you are claiming very seriously sir and would appreciate you retracting this claim regarding us and our performance. Please feel free to call our office to discuss further. (540) 890-6550. Thank you very much."

"Dear Ms. (removed member name), We are just seeing and replying to your review on Angieslist, and want to take a moment to reply and apologize to you for our service of late. I am afraid that we had to let our Operations Manager go the day before Thanksgiving, in late November of 2014, and your review is just one of many reasons for our severed relationship with him. We had to rely heavily on our OM, due to Tim's health over the last several years, and we want to apologize for not taking care of your tree needs, and especially since you are a previous customer that we have valued greatly. We hope you will accept this apology, and call on us again in the future to at least bid for your tree work. Thank you again for your past support, and may we hope you are doing well and will have a very blessed 2015. Sincerely, Paul Bunyan's Tree Service, Inc."
"Thank you very much for your kind consideration and for taking the time to write this review. If we can help you again in the future, we look forward to doing just that. Sincerely, Paul Bunyan's Tree Service, Inc."
No hesitation to recommend and will utilize for future tree work
Once I could not have the work done on the initial date they suggested, I felt like I had to initiate contact in order to be scheduled. We ended up having the work done 2 1/2 months and many emails and phone calls after we had initially discussed. I understand full schedules but wish that I had not had to continually initiate contact.
If there were a Communication category on Angie's List, that is actually where I would put the lower score rather than under Professionalism. Our proposal read that work would be done on the perimeter--removing deadwood as high as 20 feet and removing brush. However, our perimeter was not touched on the day the dead trees were cut down. I called and was told that I had misunderstood; however, they would send out a crew to "complete" the work. Then, the crew did not appear on the day indicated. I gave them a week and then called. We had been forgotten! A crew was then sent out promptly, but they only worked on one fenceline. So, I had to call again. I was told again that I had misunderstood which I did not appreciate. What else could "perimeter" mean? Especially since we had walked those areas during the initial consultation. After being told that there was no way that I would have received this service at this price I was made to feel that I was receiving something extra and was told that the crew would take hours to work the other fenceline. They took less than an hour when they came out. In fact, they proceeded to cut down live, healthy trees with a 2-3" diameter. Some were actually quite desirable trees--including a redbud. Thank goodness I was watching and could stop them. Now I've lost these trees and have a straight view over my neighbor's yard and out onto a busy street. I am devastated. I had specified "hazardous" limbs and the contract read "deadwood."
If Paul Bunyan would have stuck to the proposal, I don't think there could have been any problem or confusion. Instead I was made to feel as if I was asking for more.
Finally, whenever I would call the office to speak with someone (for example, with a billing question), I actually reached a "rollover" service. I'm not sure why one cannot simply reach the office. I had to instead leave messages and wait for return calls. Perhaps this is why they provide Lane's cell number, but he is often busy out in the field.
This company had come highly recommended, but I am quite disappointed and now I'm angry every time I look at that bare spot in my yard.
The representative who I work with, Tim, provides lots of helpful information about the insects and the treatment.
