Description of Work: This "Family Tree Service" did not show up for our appointment! They did not call...they did not return my calls...then they showed up 2 days later unexpectedly! I don't like that, I don't appreciate that! Very unprofessional...telling me they don't work with Angie's list anymore because they don't make any money. I told them that was not any of my concern! |There was a guy sleeping in the car in my driveway as the other guy told me they had a minimum and what I needed done was too small of a job for them to do... even though I had purchased a special deal with Angie's list. I would NEVER use this company. It was a total waste of my time. Now I can't get my money back for the services that I payed for in advance. I'm not a happy Camper!!!

Description of Work: Did not honor the deal for $250 worth of service. First provided an estimate with the total including the $250 then when it was time to pay up said that the estimate was in addition to the $250. Complained that they wished Angie's list would have offered that deal in the first place. Bottom line: way overcharged for what was done because the deal was not honored.

Description of Work: This is a scam. After many call I finally got them to come out. Instead of performing the $250 service they told me they could not even show up for less than $400. I protested and they agreed to do the minimum amount of work. Then they told me they would put me on the schedule. This was in early March. I called the EVERY week and they kept putting the job off - they never came back. When I last spoke with them they told me the same song and dance about needing a minimum of $400 to have a crew to come out. we went through the same song and dance until they finally said they would not do the job they promised to do - after waiting nearly 3 months. I'm disgusted. Do not get sucked in by these scam artists. It is a fraud.

see above and again: they climbed 15+ 100+ foot tall oaks. trimmed them out for dead wood and dangerous limbs over the structures; they repaired work done previously done on a 100+ foot spruce; they cleaned up and removed all the dead wood from the trees as well as several dead trees they cut down and turned to firewood sized pieces which they stacked; they were punctual, polite and knowledgeable; they came 2 days after I called. I am a happy customer and would recommend them to all.
Description of Work: I live in a grove of 100+ foot tall oak trees, we just purchased the house and the trees 15+ had not been trimmed in years. a family tree service came immediately when I called, they did a yeoman job climbing each and every large tree, they cleaned out all the dead wood , they even took care of a neighbors dead tree gratis, they cleaned up fastidiously and cut off stumps from previous tree work, all in all a great job and then they gave me a discount. great arborist knowledge and excellent tree skills both in the air and on the ground

I had to call the emergency/after hours number in order to reach someone. I was told there were issues with the calling service so please be patient, he will get back with you. They came and assessed what I needed done. I was told that it will be $300 to grind the two tree stumps however they did complete the work within the $99 for $250 worth of services. I am pleased with the work. I now have to figure out what to do with all of this sawdust thats in my backyard.

Let me start out in saying that I am a person of my word and expect the same in doing business. I contacted this tree service for a removal of tree and stump from my property. They came out the same day (which was good) and I was told that they could perform this the same day. I was impressed with this timeline. Sure enough, they came out and the tree was gone. But upon the paying for the services, I wanted to pay with a check and asked for an invoice, but was asked to pay with cash and would get the invoice emailed to me ( I should have known better). But I state again, I was impressed with the timeline. I was told the job was $350. So they asked for $300 that day, and that I would pay the rest upon getting the stump by the end of the week. The end of the week came and went. I have made numerous calls to find out when the job will be completed ( Note: I have made). I was told over and over again that by the weeks end or when the equipment gets fixed...But to no avail...In Mar ...I received a violation from my HOA about the stump left in my front yard. I called and told the Tree Service of this new development and was assured that this will be taken care of ( Note: I called). I was told by weeks end AGAIN. As of today 3/12/2015, I still have not heard from them at all. I guess they received most of the money except $50 so why would it matter to them. I would not recommend this service to anyone. The lack of follow-up is not good customer service. They asked me to review their company and I told them that I would. So I am doing so, because as I stated I am a person of my word. But lesson learned. Thanks ADDITIONAL COMMENTS ADDED: A Family tree service, upon reading my review, reached out to help gain my satisfaction with their company. We discussed the issues that were stated above. I had to hire another service to remove the stump from my yard which cost me extra monies. They apologized for the inconvenience and covered part of the monies spent with the other company that had finished their work. I think this was only fair and I thanked them for trying to straightening this ordeal out. Thank You

Mr. McCartney & his team worked skillfully & quickly to tackle the challenges of some very tall & large tree branches hanging over the house. His ability to analyze the safest and most effective ways to accomplish what he needed to do, showed his experience and agility. We were in awe watching him work in tandem with his men. We really appreciated their professionalism.
Description of Work: Trimmed three trees that had grown over our roof. They also cut up the branches and, as requested, put them in the adjacent wooded part of the yard. Additionally they blew off the debris from the lawn by the trees.

First off, I got some estimates (3) from Tree service places that left business cards on my mailbox over the last couple months. (I guess they saw my trees needed some trimming.)Then (as always) went to my Angie's List account and searched Tree Service companies in my area to do the work needed. I made an appointment with Martin from " A Family Tree Service" and Charlie came with a crew of 2 guys to give an estimate that afternoon. The estimate given was much lower than the others so I gave them the OK to go ahead with the work. I was very satisfied with the work they did and will use them in the future. They did excellent work and cleaned up the work area.

I met with the agent on a Saturday, I believe, and told him what I wanted done to the three trees. I was very explicit that I didn't want any branches extending over my driveway. The following week, they came while we were at lunch, without calling or letting us know they were coming. They did some trimming, but ignored my directions. They finally returned my phone call and explained that, in their judgment, the trees should not be trimmed that severely.

See above statement. Went very bad. Warning: do not call this company!
Description of Work: Gave estimate of $500.00 to down one dead tree and grind the stump. This did not include cutting the tree up or hauling it away. This was totally out of line and $300 more than previous estimates obtained. He refused to acknowledge that I had paid for $295.00 worth of services like he advertised. He said I had only paid $99.00 and it would be $500.00 more to cut down the one tree! He took up my time and was not ethical in his offer of $295.00 in services. I hope no one else has to deal with this scam!

They were courteous, and we discussed all tree services that were needed, but I only wanted to do the $250 worth today. I think I got $99 worth-- they trimmed one long hedge along our driveway that hung out, and did a nice job of cleaning up and blowing off. They were unable to trim the top, too high. If they had gone the extra mile, and taken off a very easy long, low branch sticking out toward the house, I would have been thrilled and tipped $20. It would've made the service worth $200 to me, even though it was a small, easy thing. But instead, I'm a little disappointed- I didn't feel it was $250 worth. It was nice to get the hedge trimmed, and I am sure THEY are disappointed I didn't want to do more today (they brought 3 guys). But that was why I took a deal, it was what I had to spend right now!

i honestly don't understand what happened. We evaluated your property within 1 week of your request and completed the work within another week. Im not sure if your negative review has to do with the fact that you expected my team to clean up the 6 pine trees you cut down in your backyard for $100 .I informed you that the $99.99 deal you purchased was going to be applied for the two pin oak tree prunings in your front yard and if you wanted to add on more work itll be an additional charge.

Company was very responsive in the beginning. Three men in a old pickup truck arrived on time. The cutting down of the tree went fine. However, they did not have a truck to haul away the debris, so they had to stack everything in my front yard until the next day. And I was told that the truck that hauls the stump grinder was in the shop so that would have to wait. I was promised that they would be back the following week to grind the stump. After about 5 phone calls and 2.5 weeks later I finally gave up and called someone else. The other company came out the next day and took care of it for me. Luckily I only paid for them to cut the tree down and not to grind the stump. Response to your reply: No one ever answered one of the numbers on your card (678-334-8503). I also called the other number on your card (404-333-TREE) and actually spoke to someone several times. He said he was your partner.

We agreed to perform the tree removal and stump grinding on your property.Upon completion of the tree removal we both deceided that the right thing to do would be for you to take down the section of fence so we can grind all surface roots .You informed me you were headed to Washington and upon your return would make arrangements to have that done and once it was i would be notified.I never received 1 call stating you were ready to proceed so i don't know what number you were contacting cause my cell number is on my card that was given to you on our intial consultation.I

I spoke with Charlie at family tree service. The appointment was scheduled for 9 this morning. At 8:15 am, they called to say they were on another job and would have to come later. We pushed it back to 12. They even said they would give me a call 45 min. before they come. I never heard back. I get a call 20 min. ago & said they were at my house. Luckily, I was only 5 min. down the road. I came home a gentleman named Felix has a truck, chain saw, rope, chains & a crew. He said they didn't have the right equipment. He called office & they said to start on it & stack the wood in my yard. I said that was not acceptable. He said they would come back tomorrow & take the wood away. I wasn't sure they would actually come back to get it. They said I was being difficult. I am getting a refund, but am very disappointed with the company that received so many positive reviews.

Yes [member name removed] is correct we agreed for the work she wanted to be done on her property to be performed on 2/20/15 The morning of I informed [member name removed] that I was dispatched to a emergency tree removal that consisted of a large uprooted oak tree that had to be dismantled safely with the use of a 40 ton crane and will time consuming .She agreed to have us reschedule for that afternoon.As soon as the dangerous part of the crane job was complete I sent 3 of my men to her home to trim the birch tree limb over her driveway while I completed the clean up of the oak tree removal in Atlanta .The plan was to have my men trim the branch from her tree and stack up all the resulting debris so I could drive by and pick it up with our grapple truck between 5-6 pm that evening.The entire job would have not taken more then 30 minutes.Explaining this to [member name removed] she continued to disapprove of my method of operation stating that she will no longer require us to perform the job and will be seeking a refund.I sincerely apologized to [member name removed] for the inconvienece and even offered to perform the work FREE of charge to make [member name removed] understand that we hold ourselves acounttable for our actions here at A Family Tree Service and strive to provide an outstanding customer expierence that you will not find anywere else.Our company policy is simple, if your not happy for ANY reason the job is FREE.[member name removed] declined.

A Family tree service and his crew are simply the most knowledgeable, experienced and professional tree care service providers in the area. Charlie and his crew did an amazing job with our trees. From scheduling the estimate to finishing the job, Charlie was easy to work with, honest, up front and professional . They cleaned the area to the point where you couldn't even notice they where even there. I got estimates from 3 tree services and A Family Tree Service was the only one that was on time, listened to what I wanted, and the only one to point out that our Chinese Elm had a fungus/disease. They were also just as competitive as those that showed up late but Charlie seemed much more knowledgeable about the trees and took the time to listen and explain what he needed to do. They showed up on time the day of the trimming with a team of guys and trucks.
Description of Work: Had them remove several large pine trees with the stumps that were located In my yard.
