Description of Work: I had an extremely large, tall tree removed from my front yard. Not only did they complete the task in what seemed a very short time, they also removed the exposed roots which had been visible in the yard. The stump removal was part of the contract but the root removal was not. My neighbor recommended them and I was extremely happy with the work.

Description of Work: Started the job...dropped 3" thick sections of limbs on asphalt driveway...NO ROPES. Told the lead man to cease and they simply "pulled out"...no clean up or anything (I have the pictures). |And they had a 7 man crew! |Claimed I was "threatening" and I was telling them how to do their job...give me a break! |Professionalism: F for FAILED! |The company made indications they would be back and kept us in limbo for 3 days without a commitment until we simply said: DONE. |Had to personally clean up the front yard and place the limbs and sections of tree by the road. |Hired another company (3 man crew) to complete the job (Non Angie's List)and haul away everything this crappy company left us. Plus they did some ground cover and shrub trimming...much more professional and reasonable.

Response from Reasonable Tree Experts
Actually, the limbs were dropped in the grass, next to the drive...NEVER on the driveway. If you have pictures that show otherwise, then you moved the wood onto the driveway. And, you DID threaten the foreman, and there were 7 witnesses to that fact! The police should have been called against you for your terroristic behavior. Why would we have our crew come back to your house to be threatened further? I am very proud of our foreman for the cool and calm manner that he handled this situation. You may not hire us again, but we would not work for you for 10 times the estimated price! Thank you for your review!! Angie's List...please print this response. The consumer needs to know that we take pride in our work, and safety comes first.

Description of Work: Ordered tree removal service from Angie's list on 5/15/15-messaged gave 3 dates the service could be provided. 5/18 Angie's list message received requesting telephone number-provide my number & my husband's number in reply message. Received phone call 5/20-the person stated it was a busy time of the year/most likely would not be able to come look @ tree in question until after the weekend. Called over weekend-I was out of town, person came while not @ home, left quote. Missed multiple calls (at work-can't talk on phone), finally husband spoke w/rep & he states he will not honor coupon, states coupon does not cover service required, yet his estimate states the exact same service stated on the coupon that I paid for on Angie's list. Please refund my money, thank you!

Homer Tree's rep, Heather, came to the house and gave me the cost of service after walking around the property and seeing what I wanted done. She was very professional and said they would call within 2 weeks to get the job done. Their timing was very good. Three workers came, trimmed all the trees, hauled the limbs and branches out to their wood chipper and disposed of them. Made sure there was no debris left in the grass, etc. I will definitely hire them again.
Description of Work: I chose not to use this company because of the 3 estimates I received they were the most expensive. I instead used Homer Tree Service. I was very pleased with their workmanship and their price.

If you were so happy with the service provided with Homer, why don't you give them a "good" review. Since you did not have us do the work, you could not possibly rate our service!! That is why you get estimates...so you can decide whom to use. Fortunately for you, you went with a reputable company and they fulfilled your expectations. I can't tell you how many times we have been called to clean up another tree company's mess! Good luck to you in the future, but remember...cheap sometimes ends up expensive!

What a joy to deal with this company. Request for quote was promptly responded to, very fair pricing, punctual scheduling of service, prompt arrival, and clean up. This company did it all well, with superb equipment and crew. Had two large oaks removed and hauled away. Chose to not do stump removal since the location on the lot did not demand. Big thumbs up.

I called for estimate on 8\27 at 7:30 P.M. Met with Kurt and had estimate in my hand by 9:30 A.M. the next morning. The original quote was lower than I expected so I was able to get more work done than planned. They were ready to do the work the same day. I was blown away. I had to wait a week to have the work done due to my schedule.. Set up job for next Tues. they showed up got the job done removed everything even a pile of brush I had cut over the weekend and not yet put out front for garbage pick up. Except for some minor damage to my grass from the grinder( To make an omelet you have to break some eggs) they did a fantastic job. In fact I told Kurt that I almost wished I had more dead trees to be removed. To bad they only remove trees if they planted them I would have them do that too. I would hire them again without a second thought. Fast service,great price and quality work. What more can you ask for ? That's it I have go dig some hole to plant some new trees!

I was very pleased. They gave me a quote which I thought was reasonable for the amount of work so I told them to go ahead and do it and didn't get any other quotes. They said they would be out in the afternoon the next day and they came early in the morning. They said they were going to get the small job knocked out of the way. They had all the equipment they needed and they had a big crew of 4 or 5 guys. I had thought about cutting the tree down myself but it was between a couple of electrical wires and they said that it was a good thing that I didn't do it myself. They did a very good job. They cut it down in long poles and ground it up. They were here about 30-45 minutes and it would have taken me a lot longer to do it myself. I was extremely satisfied with them and would recommend them. I would definitely use them again.

I was looking for a tree service that was expert, bonded, and insured because I had several very large trees close to my house. I called for a quote after a major storm because I had a split tree on the ground but did not receive a call back. I called again because I understood how busy they were after such a big storm and the owner called me back and came out to my house for a quote on that day. I like this guy. I was here during the tree removal and observed the whole process. He did exactly what he quoted, was on time, and was on site to supervise his crew. I would highly recommend Reasonable Tree Experts and would use them again.
Description of Work: They cut down six trees (two-60', three-50', one-20' tall) and ground the stumps of three trees. The branches were mulched on site and the larger tree trunks were sawn up on site. The mulched branches and tree logs were removed and the area was cleaned up.

Response from Reasonable Tree Experts
Reasonable Tree Experts takes pride in being a hands-on, full service company. When you call our office during business hours you speak to a representative of our company, not an answering machine nor an answering service. You will speak to someone who cares about our customers and our potential customers. Our office was beseiged with calls this season with the several rain and wind storms that fell upon the Chicagoland area, and we upheld our commitment level to respond to every phone call received...never being more than one day behind. During one storm our office was hit with a power outage that lasted 2 days. Unfortunately, callers thought they were getting through to us, but they were not - as we scrambled to get some type of temporary working telephone situation in place so that we could get calls in and out. Perhaps, member, it was during this time that you made a call to our office. We are sorry for an unreturned phone call, which is highly unlike the dutifullness of our office and estimating staff. Had you given just one more try, the situation would surely have been handled in a prompt and professional manner...just as we treat each and every telephone call. So, member, we hope that your work was done in a professional manner and that you are pleased with the outcome. After all, there is no assurance that you would have accepted our proposal and had us do the job. Perhaps, things worked out the way that they were supposed to. Respectfully, Kurt Fife Owner

A large, mature oak tree fell and rested on top of our roof after a small tornado in Downers Grove. Reasonable Tree Service advertises that they specialize in LARGE and dangerous jobs and that description fit our needs. A dozen other tree services were too busy to even return our calls. The owner saw our predicament and offered his services just at the same time I was about to place a call to his business! (we felt like it was a sign from above!) He brought a team of 4-5 helpers and a fleet of equipment...I felt that the "cavalry" had finally come to our rescue. Not only do they have a sizable, attractive crane, but they also have a large chipper and an impressive stump grinder. As they worked their way over the roof, lowering limbs, they ground them up immediately! No need to try and decide what to do with this tremendous amount of wood at a time when the entire neighborhood had more firewood than could be used in the foreseeable future. They were skilled as they walked along the roof and had the proper safety lines, which reassured me. The owner, Kurt, worked on this project himself. He has 35 years of experience and is an arborist. More than that, he is an Artist with the crane, chain saw, pulley and ropes. We were fascinated to watch his skilled removal of the tree. It took his large team four solid hours to remove the tree and clean up. In addition to removing the large tree, he trimmed some of a neighboring tree which was damaged with the fall and also a large tree trunk on the other side of the yard. His team was polite and we never heard any off-color language. In fact, they were so industrious, we never noticed them even taking a break and they had had other jobs in the hot sun prior to stopping for us. All in all, we felt that we got more than our money's worth, despite the higher price of other quotes. The other outfits who were stopping to help were clueless as to the caliber of the project. It was clear that the amount of skilled effort of Kurt and his team and the exceptional equipment far surpassed any of the other lower offers that were made. We are convinced that the other contractors who stopped could not have safely done this large job. Our house, thankfully, is intact and there is only minor roof damage from the tree. Based on my personal experience, I recommend Reasonable Tree Experts 100%.
Description of Work: A large, mature oak tree fell and rested on top of our roof after a small tornado. We needed to get the tree off safely and removed. A neighboring maple tree was damaged when the oak fell and they trimmed the maple while standing in the high crane. We also had a large tree trunk, minus branches, which they cut down and they also ground up two stumps. Their equipment is impressive and they chipped the wood as they went along. Reasonable Tree Experts, 815-726-8192, 630-514-2090, 222 N. Broadway, Crest Hill, IL 60403. www.rtreepro.com. Kurt Fife, owner and arborist.

Thank you for such an admirable and detailed report to Angie's List on behalf of myself and our company, member. It was certainly a pleasure to work for such nice and appreciative people, who realized the hard work and commitment that we put forth. We may not always be the least expensive quote, but we promise to be safe, thorough, hard-working, and committed until the job is completed to the satisfaction of our customers. Some may call it fate that I knocked on your door just as you were about to call Reasonable Tree Experts, however, I believe it was Divine intervention! Again, thank you. It was our privilege. Sincerely, Kurt Fife Owner

They came out right away to give me an estimate. They showed up when they said they would, did the job well, and cleaned up afterwards. I couldn't have asked for better service. I will definitely call them again.
