We called 5 other places to get quotes and no one would return our calls. Tom called us back, came and gave us a quote right away. He and his crew came to remove our trees and did an excellent job! They are very knowledgeable and great to work with! Highly recommend!!
Description of Work: We had some dead trees removed as well as some that were just getting too big and were starting to impede on the roof of the house (3 story house).

I had called a number of other tree places to get estimates and no one returned my calls. Specialty answered my call and came right away to give an estimate. They came when they said they would, had it cut up and cleaned up timely, and charged me the actual estimate. Great service!
Description of Work: We had a big branch that broke and was still stuck up in the tree, along with some general trimming on the tree.

Tom was great. He came over last week the same day I called, gave me the estimate, and said he would be back the following Tuesday. On that Tuesday he called to say he was coming, arrived 15 minutes later, did the work very skillfully to my complete satisfaction, and was on his way in 30 minutes. Tom is a gem amongst the stones. I've called tree services before; they've not returned my calls or not shown to provide estimates. In this economy, I can't understand why people won't jump at the chance for work. I give Tom my highest recommendation, and will definitely be calling him again.
Description of Work: Ground three stumps.

The came on time with the correct equipment to do the job efficiently and safely. They were very clear about what they were going to do and how they would do it. I would recommend this company to others looking for a tree cutter.

They came and and gave me quote when they said they would which is huge in my book. Considering another company took 2 days to come out and another never did return my call. As for the actual cutting of the branches they worked me in that week when they were expecting not to complete until the following week. They did good work. I did find it odd though that they didn't notify me when they were doing the work, especially since it was the week prior.
Description of Work: Had to remove 3 large branches from over the house.

He came exactly the time he had stated to do the work. The work was done to perfection. The clean up was complete. We were very pleased with the work and in the spring will have him back to do more work.
Description of Work: We obtained the name for this tree service from Angie's list. Mr. Bertrand came out and gave us a bid and it was accepted. We bought a house built in 1928. The previous owner did not do much to the property for 10 years. There was a 30 foot evergreen right in front of the house which visually cut the house in half. We also had a dead pine tree along with some other trees that needed trimming because they were encroaching the roof line. We had some low lying everygreens that were unsightly and had to be removed.

I found him in the phone book, and I called him up and explained about the tree limb to him. He came over and told me how much it would be, and when he would be able to do it. He called me and came over earlier because the weather was nice. He came over and got it done, and was out in like 10 minutes. He came when he said he was coming. He hauled it away and everything was good, and my tree hasn't died. The tree looks a bit lopsided now, but that is fine. I didn't shop around for prices. He knows what he is doing.
Description of Work: I have used Tom Bertrand of Specialty Tree Services for tree service. He is actually the one who came out and removed a tree limb for me.
