We learned that our long-time and very reputable tree service has been removing dead limbs and only doing minimal pruning which is causing our tree limbs are support too much weight. Unlike our regular tree service, Progressive left a very clean work environment and they were careful to not damage anything on our property. High marks for this Evanston service! Were it not for the gaping area where our tree shed the limb, and the new wood on our fence, no one would have a clue this ever happened. With regard to the cost, it is being submitted to our insurance provider and we have not yet received the invoice.
Description of Work: We had sudden limb drop occur this past Sunday on one of our old growth trees and had a great experience working with Juan from Progressive Tree Service! He was at our house within 30 minutes of receiving our call and assembled a team to remove the limb and other debris the same day. The team removed an additional limb from the tree and recommended a more intense pruning to be completed in the next week or two. I'm anxious to have the "high and tight" haircut take place and look forward to Progressive's next visit. They left a very clean work environment. Additionally, the limb damaged our privacy fence in multiple locations, even taking out an entire panel. Juan was able to recommend a landscaper who made himself and his team available to come out for the fence repair on Sunday as well. High marks for this Evanston service! Were it not for the gaping area where our tree shed the limb, and the new wood on our fence, no one would have a clue this ever happened.

This job went so much smoother than I ever could have hoped. The owner was very prompt, courteous, and professional in all our dealings, the workers were professional.... everything about their work was outstanding. They took less time that I had figured, and hauled away all the wood and left the property in good shape. I highly recommend Progressive Tree Service!!!
Description of Work: I needed a very large, old silver birch removed because it was rotting. It was very close to both my house and my neighbor's house, overhanging both roofs, with branches close to windows, and I worried every time there was a big storm. I knew it would be a difficult job! The big-name companies wanted to bring in very large equipment, which due to fences and steps around the house would be hard to do, and thus very costly. That didn't make sense to me, but since I know nothing about tree removal, I assumed it was the only way to go. Juan brought in his team and did the job without the huge crane, and did a fabulous job, at a price far lower than the big names.

I checked to see if the deal covered my zip code and it did. After not getting a response for 2 days I call . The gentleman acknowledged he received my request for services . He then told me it was too far for him to drive and it wouldn't be worth his time even thought my zip was confirmed. But Angies list was extremely quick in issuing a refund for the services not performed. Kudos to Angie

No work performed, but they are an honest company
Description of Work: I did the $200 special for $300 service, when the sales rep showed up I explained what I needed. He said their projects start at $350 and that what i need wouldn't be be that much and advised me to request a refund. He said this special is to get them out there to do an estimate. Glad he was honest.

Trimming the 2 trees and cutting down the entire tree cost more than the the $200 credit. I wasn't enthralled about the service. I felt like I had to keep telling them how to trim the trees. They did a very good job with the tree out front, which I appreciated, but I was not very satisfied that they did not take the stump and roots out from the tree they removed.

Two weeks after paying for the special offer I had to contact the company and ask them for an appointment for an estimate. They showed up for the appointment on time, provided a verbal estimate, and told me that a written estimate would be sent immediately. I did not receive the written estimate and at this point, one week later, I am preparing to request a refund of the fee for the special offer.

They couldn't schedule the removal right away, but did remove the broken branch as high winds were projected. Then the removal was scheduled about 2 weeks later. I was told by several companies it would probably take 2 days. Juan and his crew had it down in a day and the clean up was excellent.
Description of Work: A storm broke a large branch from my huge Elm tree. The branch was caught up in some other branches overhanging my neighbors garage. Decided to get estimates for to have the tree removed, as the large branches from the tree could cause serious damage to neighbors and my structures. I decided on Progressive, bids varied greatly the highest was a whopping $14,000. Juan and his crew very skillfully took done the enormous tree, I estimate it was about 90 feet high with the trunk being 8 feet in circumference.

Juan is terrific, so helpful and knowledgeable. The guys did a great job. I don't know how they did it but my puny straggly trees look beautiful. They work quietly and meticulously and they pick up all the debris. Very very pleased, and will work with them again in the spring to see if Juan can help that poor sick tree recover.

Pretty well. Estimate was quick and accurate. Workers were prompt and worked safely (my neighbor checked that the company was insured). They ended up visiting three times: once for the tree trimming, once for tree removal, and once for stump removal. Cleaned up and took everything away or chipped it.
Description of Work: My neighbor and I needed three big cottonwood trees trimmed...this had not been done in at least the ten years that I have lived here. I also had a mulberry tree that I wanted removed with its stump.
