It went well. Supply and demand drives prices upward after a storm, but you don't have a lot of options when a tree is on your roof. I had ttrimmed the tree, but the main trunk remained on the roof which was easily removed by a front-end loader.

It took a couple of days to get to me, but once they arrived, it was all hands on deck to get the job done. Had used them in the past and was happy with the experience, so they were the first ones I called and the first to respond.

They were AMAZING. Mike Drake, the foreman, came out to scope the job and give a quote. We called the office to accept and they scheduled the appointment for the work in 2 weeks. They arrived promptly today at 8:45 am. And I mean THEY! There were 6 of them in 4 vehicles 3 of which were hauling equipment behind them. The entirety of the work was done in under an hour including stump grinding, and taking all the debris and putting it through the shredder (or whatever it is called). They cleaned up after themselves completely. They were fast, professional, nice. I would use them again in a heartbeat! They even found a nest of 3 eggs under one of the bushes they taking to the ground and they were careful not to disturb it. How great is that!
Description of Work: Magnolia removed; removed very large holly bush and equally large bougainvillea; removed tree next to large palm tree; removed overgrown shrubs around a tree; trimmed back VERY overgrown plant that had topped the corner of the house and obscured the whole area.

It went well except they cut one branch we did not want cut. It was in a strategic location just right to shade our house in the late afternoon. I wish they would have asked before they cut, as they did with several other branches, but once cut they couldn't glue it back. So we will hope the tree grows more branches to cover that area. They did a good job cleaning up the cut branches. I was a little surprised at the cost of tree work this year. I got three estimates and they were all 30% to 50% higher than the cost to have that same tree trimmed three years ago.

What a great family of courteous and professional people. They did everything they said they would do, when they said they would do it, and at the exact quoted price. The Drake's and their crew took every care with our driveway and home. We could not be more happy with the job they did for us. To quote my wife, " Except that our tree is gone, you would never know anyone had been here." Highest recommendation!
Description of Work: Cut down and haul away a very large triple trunk Magnolia tree from our backyard, with a crane.

Excellent service from start to finish. We called and scheduled an appointment for someone to come by and look at what needed to be done. Mitch happened to be in the area, a few days prior, and called to see if he could come by earlier, which was great. He arrived and spent time looking at what needed to be done. Since one of the trees was extremely large, and located in the back yard, it would be necessary to use a crane. Mitch went over all of the details to make sure nothing was missed, and gave us an estimate to do the job. We were fine with the estimate, and actually thought it was great considering all that needed to be done. Mitch let us know that it would probably be a week before they could come out. He also told us that if he could come earlier, he would give us a call. Fortunately, he called the following Monday, and said that they could be here on Thursday at 8:30. On Thursday, everyone was here right on time. His crew hit the ground running and were extremely efficient. We did have one issue with an old pipe that went to a water softener that was not being used. We were unaware that it was still connected, and while grinding out a tree that was next to the house, it was accidentally hit. This was not the fault of the crew, since we had not told them about the pipe (we had no idea it was there). Being new to the area, we did not have a plumber, so I called a friend to see if the had one. I called my friends plumber and they said that they could not come out until the next day. Mitch was great and gave me the number of a plumber, who I called and within an hour and half, the problem was solved. From start to finish, Mitch and his crew were top notch. I will definitely call them again, the next time I need some work to be done.
Description of Work: Had 4 trees removed; 2 large, 1 medium, and 1 small and stumps ground. Also had row of shrubs removed. They also cleaned up a and giant OAK that had numerous dead branches hanging over the house and garage. Finally, they cleaned up a row of trees that were hanging over the fence between our property and the neighbor next door.

Each call to Mitch Drake and Sons got a very quick response and a set up date for an estimate. Likewise the estimate was done on time and the date for the work and cost were provided. On the date the work was to be done the team called to say they were on their way with an ETA. Work was always done quickly and clean up was complete. Each time the team was polite, friendly and professional. Will certainly use Mitch Drake and Sons for any future work.
Description of Work: I have used Mitch Drake several times since moving here in 2014. I have had them trim Oak trees at the front of my house and remove a Magnolia that was crowding the house and also trim back limbs of my neighbors very large Oak tree that were encroaching and would prevent construction of a pool and enclosure. The teams last visit was to remove a very large limb (+/- 18 ft.) from the same old Oak tree. Removal was only that section of the limb that was overhanging my property. During the process my neighbor came out to ask if the team would remove the rest of the limb on her property (+/- 12 ft) which they agreed to do.

Mitch and his company did a great job. Mitch's estimate was very reasonable compared to the other quotes I received. He is licensed and has all of his liability and workers' compensation. They arrived on time and did a great job in very short order. I have one tree in particular that I'm trying to save, they did what they could with all the mistletoe and we'll have to wait and see. Mitch was very helpful, professional and knowledgeable, including giving me advice on what to do with my problem tree. And, he caught things the other person didn't. Mitch arrived as well to make sure everything was done. They cleaned up and were very easy to work with. I highly recommend them and would definitely use them again.

Mitch Drake arrived on time for the scheduled estimate appointment. We walked around the property and I explained what we were aiming to accomplish with our trees. Mitch provided a written estimate that explained the scope of the work to be performed. We ended up going with another company based on their lower estimate and Angie's List ratings, but were very impressed with Mitch. We had previously used Mitch Drake approximately two years ago at my wife's office to remove one tree and to clean up a pecan tree. He was punctual, professional and did a great job overall. The next time we obtain tree service estimates, we will still call Mitch for his.

Everything went very well. They said they would arrive between 11:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. and were there promptly at 11:00 a.m. They had enough equipment to completely take down the tree, grind it up and clean up after themselves. They also removed the stump.

These guys made short work of a very difficult removal and took out some other limbs that could cause problems in the future.
Description of Work: I had a large limb broken off main trunk about 100' up and over my house. If that limb let go it would have went right through the roof.
