Franklin, Field Representative for Roman's Tree Service came out to assess the work and provide an estimate. He was professional, knowledgeable and precise in his calculation for the cost. Very courteous and responsive to my questions. Pricing was competitive and I agreed to proceed on the spot. A team came out to cut the trees one day. The trees were removed the next day and the stumps ground down the third day. Everything was done according to the schedule we agreed to, in a timely fashion and the workers made sure the yard was free of debris and clean before they left. I would highly recommend Roman's Tree Service
Description of Work: We needed nine small trees and three stumps cut and all the stumps ground down 12 "

I had a few trees that needed to come out because the roots were damaging my home, I had two of the top rated companies come over for a quote and they were substantially less expensive. They were able to do the work much sooner than the others and they did very clean work. They cut up the trees and left me plenty of firewood.

3 workers on the job. Worked quickly and efficiently. Supervisor was very responsive when I had a concern during the process. Entered all 3 yards to clean up. Good job, reasonable price. Left yard in good condition. Cleaned up yard, side walkway, driveway and street area when chipper was used. Enjoyable to work with. A very pleasant experience and I fully recommend them.

Franklin's bid was the best of the three I got. We put off the project from right after Thanksgiving because the rain was knocking down too many trees, but Ramon's Tree Service showed up January 2 as promised. The job was to thin out the enormous weight of branches hanging over my house and allow enough sun into the lower tree (and my yard) to keep the tree from growing down towards the ground. Over two days they swung though my tree in leather boots (no spikes!) and cut, dragged,and chipped three truckloads of oak. My yard is difficult to work in - the branches had to be dragged 40 yards through Grandma's garden, there are five dogs and four cats. Everyone was very happy with the work. I pointed out to Franklin that they had left two large clumps in an otherwise transparent canopy. He explained that they were squirrel nests with babies in them, and not to be touched. The dogs and cats will be happy. I got a good price and excellent, skilled service. The tree looks great and I sleep a little easier. If you live in Ramon's service area, I highly recommend the company.
Description of Work: I have a very large live oak in my back yard, roughly 80 feet tall and 60 feet wide with a 6 foot trunk. We think it's about a century old. For the twenty years I've lived here I've been cutting it away from the house, but this year I gave in to reality. I called around and got three estimates Franklin from Ramon's tree service came out promptly, admired my tree sufficiently,and made an excellent bid (including an Angie's list discount).

Very professional. True to their word, did exactly what they said they said they would do all around the property and at a very fair price. Hard to find a company like this in this day and age. Franklin seems to be a very knowledgeable arborist.
Description of Work: They removed and disposed of a one large poplar tree and two smaller ones as well as trimmed a few large monterrey pines and some other types of trees around the property.

Franklin showed up on time for the estimate. He was very thorough in observing our property. He gave me an estimate the same day and it was close to another tree service. But, I thought Franklin was more professional than the other person who gave me a bid. They started the job about a week later and showed up on time. The guys always cleaned up at the end of the day.
Description of Work: Roman's Tree Service cut down a large dead tree, a large acacia tree, and trimmed numerous other trees on our lot. We live in Orinda so there are lots of trees and our backyard is on an upslope. They were very professional and I am happy with the work they did.

Prompt, professional, and competitive pricing (got a quote from 2 other contractors and Romans was the cheapest). The crew also cleaned up thoroughly leaving nothing behind. Totally painless process and I plan to use them again in the future.
Description of Work: Romans trimmed back four branches that were over the roof and some power lines. They also thinned out the tree to prevent it from falling in the future.

Impeccable service from start to finish. Excellent communication from the time I initially called for an estimate, through the time the owner came to check on the completed job. Everything went exactly according to plan. Workmen showed up when they were supposed to, didn't require any guidance or supervision from me, took the tree down quickly & safely, and expediently removed all the debris. The whole operation took less than 6 hours and the result is that it's as if the tree was never there in the first place! I wish every contractor was this good. I enthusiastically recommend Roman's Tree Service to anyone needing tree services.

They were fabulous, they came on time and they did a better job than expected. They told me they would be here at a certain time and I let them know I wouldn't be home until a certain time and that was no problem, they were there finishing the job and cleaning up after themselves when I arrived home. I would use them again and highly recommend them to other people!
Description of Work: They cut down a stump lower to the ground and also removed it below the ground so you could not see the tree at all, they also drilled that part.

Erick was very prompt when he arrived for the estimate. He performed his greeting and estimate professionally. Because I was going to be leaving the site for over a month, he arranged to trim the trees before I left town (2-day turn-around), because he told me he wanted to be sure that he did exactly as I wanted. For a young man, he was very courteous and very professional. I would definitely use him again, and highly recommend his company. My only complaint was that he was two hours late to do the trimming; I had to call him to find out why he hadn't arrived; but he had a "Tree Emergency." I'm not sure what would constitute such a thing, but he did arrive about the time he thought he would after my call. I leave this to his youth, and I hope he learned from it.

We needed to get 2 cedar trees (~30-40ft) removed and trim a couple other trees around our house. We got several bids for the work, all from pretty professional companies. Roman's original bid was in line with a couple other ones we got. We spoke Franklin, the crew chief, and he was very professional and courteous. After discussing bid prices he was able to rework their bid to be lower and we opted to go with them. They were pretty busy during the Nov/Dec period but they were able to come out a few weeks after as they promised. The crew seemed pretty professional and were able to do their work without much disruption. Franklin came by on occasion to check but was not there fulltime. The crew is Latino and spoke only some English. But the removal went off without a hitch as did the more standard tree pruning. We would consider them again for future work.

After talking with Franklin (the man in charge) he gave me an estimate of the job to be done. After a few week , three workers came to my door on time. They worked very h****** a very hot day 90/95 degree. they carried all that heavy wood up hill non stop. UMBELIVEBLE. A small damage happen to a common fence with my neigbor, which was address very fast. Mister Franklin came a few times to oversee how work was prosiding. Every time I need it to call him, he responded the phone every time with no need to live a message and waiting for an answer. Very happy with the overall job. Will call them back for more. Thank you very much

The owner Erik arrived right on time to provide an estimate to remove a large diseased and leaning Monterey pine in our sloping back yard. He was very professional and detailed and provided by far the best estimate of three we obtained. His crew arrived on time and did a complete job exactly as stated in the proposal. The cleanup was superb with the back yard in better condition than when they arrived. The crew were all very competent and congenial. We will certainly use this firm in the future for any tree work and recommend them highly.
Description of Work: We had a large Monterey pine tree that had already lost a limb and was diseased. It was on a rather steep slope in our back yard. They removed the tree to ground level as requested (no stump removal was requested) and cleaned up completely. One full day and two hours of a second day were required.

I had a huge oak tree fall suddenly in my backyard and it needed to be taken down. I called Roman's Tree Service and they sent someone out to my home the same day. Franklin came and was very knowledgeable and advised me of my options. He and his team began working the next day and worked for two days. They cleaned up at the end of each day which I certainly appreciated. They worked diligently and were very thorough. They were hard workers, punctual, respectful, and professional. I told Franklin that I wanted to keep the wood and asked if he could please cut up the pieces to my specifications. He obliged immediately. I was extremely satisfied and the price was quite reasonable. My yard is now clear of all tree debris (sawdust, tree branches, leaves) and the wood is stacked neatly. I am very pleased with the work and I definitely would ask them back if needed.
Description of Work: A very very large oak tree on a hill in my backyard had fallen on to my shed and my home. Franklin and his team had to remove the large branches that were laying on my home and my shed without damaging my home further. They then cut down the entire tree - it was out of balance and leaning. The tree was removed to the stump, the hillside was cleared, the branches, fallen leaves, and sawdust were removed and the wood was cut up and stacked exactly how I wanted it done.
