Altel Tree Service

unknown

We had a large dead cottonwood tree that was was threatening to fall onto a building, and another partially alive cottonwood that had made gardening extremely frustrating since they send out roots everywhere. Altel Tree Service took down the trees without damaging any building or even other trees. We were very impressed with the work done.

Martin told us he would arrive by 8:30am, and despite the fact that it had snowed overnight and a couple of inches of snow was on the ground, they arrived on time and got straight to work. They worked non-stop throughout the day - even when I came out several times to tell them I had hot coffee for them inside, they never stopped working. It rained the second day, but they still came out on time and worked until dark without stopping. We were amazed at how fast they worked, and the accuracy of where the branches and wood fell -- there was a tv cable running through the fir trees, and the oak tree is squeezed between the house and the garage, with a fence right below. We were initially concerned that large branches or heavy wood rounds would smash the rooftops or take down the fence or the cable, but after just a few minutes of watching in awe as the branches and rounds landed safely without damaging anything, we stopped worrying.
In a nutshell: Martin knows what he is doing - you can tell that he's been doing this for a long time. His price was right in the ballpark with the other quotes we received, too. We chose this company because they are licensed and bonded, but also because we could tell that this is an honest, hard-working guy who values his reputation, and who takes pride in a job well done.
We were very happy with the outcome, and would recommend this company to anyone.
