Completely unprofessional.
Description of Work: Contacted Smitty's tree sevice for an estimate. I then made an appointment with them for 6/27/2017 to come to my home. I tolde them I would stay home so I could have an opportunity to discuss the scope of work to be done. Estimator never showed up or called. Completely unprofessional organization that does not deserve the A rating on Angie's List.

Response from Smitty's Tree & Arbor Service Inc
Hey [Member Name Removed], I am sorry to hear about your experience. Smitty's is a family owned and operated company that has been around for over 60 years. We are extremely prompt and estimates are always done the same day or next day. I apologize that your estimate did not go as planned. Our records show you called on 6/26 to set up your estimate for 6/27. However, you called back on 6/26 and said you needed to reschedule the estimate and we have never heard back. I have reached out multiple times since seeing this review and have not been able to get in touch with you. I hope you were able to have the work you needed done taken care of. If you still need the work taken care of please give us a call.

Would not hesitate to use them again.
Description of Work: Trimmed a large maple in our front lawn. It was killing the grass due to too much shade. Also trimmed crab apple tree in back of house. They were very professional and I was amazed how the climbed our trees. They dropped large branches without any damage. When finished all pieces were disposed of. They did a fantastic job. Our neighbors thought so much of their work that they had a large tree that was growing right next to their house. Same amazing work. People came and watched them drop large branches right between the house and without any damage.

We have used Smitty's several times throughout 2011 and have been pleased with the service every time. They are very quick to respond to phone calls, you don't have to be home for the quote or the work being done, and the price is decent. We couldn't be happier.

The process was very satisfying from beginning to end. There were four workers who were very efficient. They followed the estmator's diagram of which branches to trim. I added one large branch at the end, which I also paid for. They did everything as expected, were quick and professional and safety conscious as well. They were not ready to leave until I was satisfied.
Description of Work: Smitty's Tree Service came to take care of an insect infected tree in my backyard that needed considerable trimming. There were other trees that needed pruning at the same time. The estimator came and proposed an insecticide as well as deep root fertilization to strengthen the tree. This was done. A month later, the tree trimming crew arrived, did all the work, removed all the branches and even gave my neighbor wood for his outdoor firepit, per my request. The workers were very professional and polite. It was exciting to watch them in action.

They came out exactly when they said. All work was done to our agreed specs. (They were very careful not to let any limbs fall on my flowers or garden objects. As they were working, I decided since they were doing such a good job, I asked if they would remove another very large limb for me. They did so, and back yard was raked and all was put in a chipper. No mess for me to clean up.
Description of Work: I had all limbs removed that were over house. Also, had 2 extremely large limbs removed.

Both tree removal and stump grinding ended up being delayed due to rain. The office rescheduled with us. The tree removal crew came out when expected to cut down and chip the tree. They were punctual and efficient, removing the tree pieces from the yard without damaging fences or lawn. The stump grinder was punctual on the rescheduled date. She also worked efficiently and professionally.
Description of Work: One crew removed a medium-sized dead tree in our yard. Another worker followed up at a later date to grind out the stump.

Of three estimates. Smitty's was the least expensive. Also gave us senior discount. All their people were very pleasant and professional. Came promptly to estimate. Responded to our calls with follow-up questions. Arrived on schedule, completed tree cutting same day and stump grinding two days later. One tree was on lot line and through wires. Managed to cut it without going into neighbor's yard. Other companies wanted access to their property for heavy equipment. Smitty's may have been lower tech, but got the job done smoothly and professionally. Did take some divots out of our lawn by dropping logs but in fairness, we had indicated it was okay. Arranged to have power lines disconnected. Only problem was getting Com Ed to reconnect. ComEd man who disconnected told me to give them 2-hour window to reconnect. Order called in at 3:15 and then were told at 5:30 that couldn't return until next day unless order had been received by 2:00 pm. Smitty's office staff very concerned and responsive next morning when I informed them. They called all their contacts at ComEd and got it reconnected by 11:00 am. Moral: If you have ComEd disconnect your power, be sure to order reconnect by 2:00 pm!
Description of Work: We had two very large, mature silver maple trees cut down plus a locust and a Norway maple trimmed. FYI: There are two Smitty's that cut trees. This one in Alsip, the other in Posen. Easy to confuse them.

The work went very well. The estimator came out right away & left a very reasonable estimate, lower than the other one I got from an Angie's List company. Then when I asked about a 5% winter discount, they offered me a discount if I would have the work done right away instead & they suggested a date. I accepted and the workers showed up on time. They showed me proof of insurance coverage--very important--and after I signed the paperwork they got right to work & very efficiently and professionally took down first the smaller trees and then the larger one. The tree-climber was in the large tree for about 2 hours. He tied ropes to different limbs & one by one they were removed and lowered to the ground. The rest of the crew carried the limbs to the chipper. Most of the wood was chipped & removed. Larger pieces of the trunk were taken whole, probably for sale to wood carvers. After a couple of days a young man called to arrange a time to grind the stumps. They were thoroughly ground out down to about 2 feet. A couple of days later another call from a couple of men who arranged a time to remove the stump chips and replace them with dirt & grass seed. They beat the price of the other company I got an estimate from by about 25% and had all the appropriate insurance coverages and nice equipment. I probably didn't get a rock-bottom price but I am very satisfied because they did such an excellent job for a very fair price.
Description of Work: I had one large, one medium and five small trees removed. For the price, they also included the stump grinding and removal of chips, fresh dirt and seeded the dirt with grass seed.
