Red Oak Tree Service Inc

Humberto's crew of three expertly took out two large elms and four big pines, ground stumps and pruned several other trees. Cleanup was immaculate and the job priced fairly. This was my first experience with Red Oak. Based on it I would recommend them unreservedly.

The boss came out and gave a quote. Ok. Agreed to have job done. 2 times they didnt show up on the agreed days. 2 other times they sent small crews to do a partial job. 3rd time they actually showed up to complete whole job. While trimming one of the trees they dropped a log on my chain link fence with me standing there observing. Ok, accidents happen we will work it out. When i brought it to their attention they denied that they did it. Lied right to my face. When the owner shows up to collect the fee he stands behind his lying workers and refuses to make it right and actually wants more money than the original quote. If you decide to use these lying thieves get your quote in writing and video every single thing they do to document any damage to your property they may do because they just deny deny deny

They did an excellent job trimming and cleaning up the trees and debris. However the bucket truck that was used on the driveway was leaking some kind of fluid (oil, trans, hydraulic or brake) and stained the driveway in multiple places because the truck had to be repositioned a number of times. Really messed up the appearance of the sealcoating done in July.

Had a huge tree removed from a difficult spot and they did an excellent job! Employees were all very polite, professional and respectful of our property. Very happy with the entire process. Could not have gone any better.

Red Oak once again did an incredible job removing very large trees which were in difficult positions amongst many other smaller trees and shrubs without any damage. One tree which needed removal was an enormous double trunked oak which was in the middle of very old Witch Hazels, Cornus Floridas, Japanese Maples, large old Azaleas and wildflowers and large extended sprinkler heads for the irrigation system. They removed it without any damage to surrounding trees and equipment. They put down boards to protect the areas around the trees. It was truly amazing to watch the work being done. The crew led by Valentine and Juan were spectacular to watch wile the work was done. Red Oak has the best equipment for difficult jobs which enables them to provide the best tree removal service with the least damage and also safety to their employees. My landscape was left clean and in perfect condition. The crew were all very thoughtful and cooperative. This is the second large job they’ve done for me. I can’t thank them enough for the incredible jobs they have done for me!

I called Red Oak Tree Service to remove a huge 130 year old, 100 foot tall oak tree that had cracked and was hanging over my fence. The owner, Humberto Gonzales, came out within a couple hours of my initial call and gave me a bid much less than any of other bids I’d received. In less than a week the crew of 6 arrived. This tree was in a difficult spot. They couldn’t get the vehicles into my yard so I was concerned how they would be able to take the tree down safely. My worries were unneeded. These guys wasted no time but started immediately. Ruben began climbing with no hesitation. This massive tree began as 1 but about 12 feet up split into three separate trees. These guys worked around my lindens and pine trees with no damage whatsoever. During the time they worked the wind began to blow and the skies turned dark yet they continued up in the tree and buckets. Even when it began to rain they continued cutting stopping only when the lightning and torrential rains began. Once the storm passed the guys went back to work even though it was still raining. When finished they raked my yard and even cleaned the street of debris. Juan and his crew knew the logistics of removing a giant tree in a most difficult location. I have nothing but praise for them. Thank you guys!

Humberto and his team has done their a great job. These guys have heavy equipment to handle any project no matter how big your tree is. Very satisfied and definitely will use them again.

Red Oak Tree Service Inc. has done three jobs for me in the last year, and they are real pros who get the job done quickly for a fair price. Humberto is always very quick to get me an onsite quote. Our first job was a clean up job after straight line winds knocked down 6 trees in our yard. They varied from all the way down to hung up in other trees. One hung perilously over a basketball hoop, but Red Oak got them all without an issue. The next job was removing a huge oak (40 inch diameter) that was nearly dead in our front yard and grinding off about 2 dozen stumps that had been left from previous years of smaller tree removal. Again, a terrific job was done. Lastly, we just had them in to remove another half-dozen trees that were leaning precariously toward our home. I also had about three acres of wooded lot that had not been maintained, and I want to have the dead/dying/down trees cut down for safety and for aesthetics. That was probably another 50 trees varying from 4 inch diameter to 20+ inch. A job that would have taken me a month, and even then I could not have tackled a few of the ‘widow-makers’, was done by the Red Oak crew in a day (8 am - 6 pm). They had several chainsaws going, tree climbers, bobcats, a large Vermeer chipper, and a stump grinder on site. Everything was done exactly as agreed, and they left a clean site behind. I was impressed that the team is very focused on their safety and that of my home and property. These guys do a great job at a fair price.

They were awesome! They were fast. They came in, took down a tree, made a little mess and whatever mess they did make, they cleaned up on their way out.

Scheduled date came & went with no contact except that initiated by me. When they finally showed up it was 3 days later and I was not home and had to describe the work to be done over the phone. Most of the work was very good but 2 outstanding issues remained. The owner agreed to resolve them but again without a time commitment. The final work was eventually completed to our satisfaction. Recommendation to others: be flexible. They are good and very affordable.

Very Professional. Work completed on time and as discussed.

Our service was great. They were prompt and even came out in a storm to remove limb. When it was deemed unsafe for them to proceed we rescheduled and they came back at the appointed time. Very pleased with their service.

Very well. Prompt and courteous. Well priced.

Fast, courteous service - they came the same day we called. Very happy with the work done and the price. We plan to use Red Oak again for another tree with a dead limb and for fall pruning. Highly recommend.

Called 7:15 this morning....Humberto was here in like 35 minutes and by 1:30 all the work was done. He said his guys would be here in a couple hours and they were. Took care of a tree that had fallen last nite from the storm we had....cut 2 limbs off the neighbors tree that was hanging over our house and cut down a big tree in the front yard. Everything was done in less than 2 hours the yard was all cleaned and the wood either taken away or ground up.These guys were fantastic and the price was way fair. Will definitely use them again ...highly recommend them!!

Humberto and Bryan were fantastic. The quote they gave me was exactly what they ended up charging. They trimmed some small branches around power lines to a couple of very large, bulky branches that were hanging over the roof. They were prompt, easy to work with, fast, and efficient. They hauled everything away afterwards. Would definitely recommend!

They were doing work at our neighbors house, so we asked them for an estimate. They had all the equipment (chipper, truck with bucket, etc) so we decided to hire them. One of the trees they were going to cut down was a large evergreen that was leaning. It fell during some strong winds just a few days after the estimate and was being held up by an oak branch - almost hitting the house. They came out the same day (Friday) to take it down before it hit the house. We were thankful and impressed as to how quickly they came out to take the evergreen down before it hit the house! They came back on Monday to do the rest of the work. There were a lot of guys and they did the work fast! Some of the trees were hanging over the house, and they were very careful not to let anything damage the house. They were all very nice, worked very well together and clearly knew what they were doing. They cleaned up very well and were a pleasure to deal with. We will definitely call them again for our future tree needs!

A large crew was able to do the job the same day we called. They came with a large chipper and trucks. They removed the entire tree, ground up the stump, and cleaned the yard thoroughly with rakes. The entire job took only 30 minutes! The crew was very efficient and courteous. The equipment and trucks were very clean and professional looking. I was very impressed and would definitely call Red Oak Tree Service of Carpentersville again if needed.

These guys are terrific. They were early for the scheduled job of taking down a large...........about 35 feet...........ash tree right next to my house. They came with 8 workers 3 trucks and two pieces of equipment and had the tree down, cut up , hauled away and yard cleaned in about an hour and 1/2. They were very fast and proficient. They were much cheaper than two other estimates I had. A friend referred them to me. Wish I had known about them earlier. Will definitely use them again and would refer them to anyone.

The two dead ash trees were down in no time and they cleaned up completely. I requested additional services on site with trimming two additional trees and they did a great job. I was concerned about one of the trees extending over my roof and they trimmed to my satisfaction. They even made a point to request I inspect each tree cut and trimmed a few additional branches that I requested. I was very pleased with the response to my initial call and services provided. Will use them again next year for routine trimming.

We got a prompt visit/quote the day before. Red Oak was about half the price of the big company that says they care for trees. The crew arrived ahead of schedule and ready to work. The crew was well organized and knew what they were doing. The job was done in a quarter of the time the other guys said it would take. Cleaned up well, I will use them again when needed.

I called and talked to owner Humberto Gonzales, who came at the agreed time; looked over the job, made a very reasonable offer, and I accepted. He offered to come the next day to carry away a large limb that was blown off by a storm earlier in the week. His crew (of 8) came with all the equipment needed, and wanted to do the entire job, to which I agreed. They were all very friendly, many members of the Gonzales family of Carpentersville. They were also very efficient and clearly capable of operating their machinery. I took several photos and a few short videos of the activity. The foreman, Bryan, asked to have them sent to him from my smart phone and I obliged. If there was a way to give them an A+, I would. I couldn't have been more pleased. I would recommend them to anyone.

They were absolutely great! Red Oak came out and gave me an estimate that was more affordable than 4 out of 5 estimates I got for removing this tree. They showed up on time and completed the work in half a day. The guys were courteous and worked well together in a crowded space where the tree was that was difficult to get to. They not only did a great job on taking down the tree (one other tree company I had out said they and quot;didn't want a job that was that difficultand quot;), they did it quickly and cleaned up the yard and put things back in order including the swingset and fence they had to dismantle to get in and out. They were very professional. I'm glad someone referred them to me because otherwise I would have had to pay from 30% - 50% more to have the tree removed. Great job Red Oak. Thank you.

The tree trimming was performed exactly as I had requested. The price was very reasonable. They were very professional and cleaned up all of the branches and leaves that were on the ground. They called to let me know they were on their way the day of the appointment. I was very happy and would recommend them to anyone needing tree services they provide.

We have used Red Oak Tree Service before. They do quality work at a good price. Great company.
