Description of Work: The service pruned dead branches off several trees in my front yard, including a big chestnut oak branch that extended over the street. They also pruned lower branches on some trees, "elevating" the crown. They trimmed branches that touched my roof. | |I was out of town when the work was performed. I didn't need to be there, but I was curious how this would all be done.

Thank you for taking the time to write a nice review-we appreciate the feedback. I'm a little confused by the C rating for price, not complaining, just a little confused as in an e-mail from 8/12/15 shortly after we provided the proposal, the customer indicated that "The price seems very reasonable" thats a direct, verbatim qoute. But anyhow, we really appreciate the business, the review and look forward to serving this customers tree needs in the future.

Description of Work: Removed a 100" circumference tree and removed 20" circuference limb from another large tree. The job was complete in 4-5 hours. The staff were professional and efficient. There was no damage to property or other trees. Everyone seems to be taking safety precautions seriously.

Response from TAKOMA TREE EXPERTS
We appreciate this customers review and although not all A's we do value this gentleman's opinion and feedback. However I'm a little mystified by mostly B's, but not complaining. Responsiveness was excellent-I actually met with this customer 2, perhaps 3 times as he changed his mind on some of the work and wanted me to modify the contract-no big deal-it's well within our service area. Punctuality-I met with him at the appointed times and my crew showed up at their appointed time; Professionalism-see above-during the job the crew actually exceeded what they were supposed to do and as this customer wanted heavy pruning and clearances they obliged him, but only after pointing out that the contract stipulated standard clearances over the roof and neighbors-this was no small thing-to provide what the customer wanted, but which wasn't part of the agreement, entailed removing some very large, specific limbs, which I mentioned when I met with him would not be included and which would involve removing almost half of a large tree. Originally we had given him a price to remove the subject tree, but it was a large, difficult and expensive removal and so one of the aforementioned modifications to the proposal amended the specifications to standard pruning, not removal of half a tree at pruning prices. But the crew ended up doing as he asked, since our first priority is customer satisfaction and after checking with me I told them to proceed even though it was not part of the scope of work-the contract was actually very specific about what we would do and I had explained it to the customer in person. But there was no use in arguing so we spent a couple more hours doing what he requested for no additional charge. The foreman, however, drew the line when the customer asked for pruning of a tree not on the contract at all. Another aspect of the job was to elevate-that is remove lower limbs over the roof of a smaller tree. They performed the work as specified by the proposal-very routine stuff-providing clearance over a roof is done all the time-however like the larger tree, this customer wanted extreme pruning, but in order to accommodate the customer on the much larger tree, where the crew removed much more than was indicated on the contract-added hours to the job and kept them working until dark. So they said they would return to take more off the smaller tree as a courtesy and per the customers demand-remember the contract did not stipulate severe pruning or stripping of the tree-something this customer insisted on. Unfortunately the message that we needed to return was not conveyed to me-the crew was tired, arrived at the lot after dark and the customer apparently must have thought we were not punctual or responsive when we didn't return ASAP to do additional work that wasn't on the contract, ironically because we had already performed additional work on the larger tree and which had taken up all our time-which time could have been spent doing free work on the smaller tree; the crew was simply exhausted at the end of the day and neglected to write down or tell me that we should return. When the customer called me and told me we were supposed to return for this very small item, which we were throwing in for him, we did so promptly. All turned out very well-we have another pleased customer, who at a later date had us come back and do some more work without issue-so everything was resolved satisfactorily. But the B rating although not bad, and I have no complaints, certainly I don't think is warranted-we went well out of our way for this customer, performed well over the requirements of the contract, were responsive, punctual. We are appreciative of this gentleman's feedback and repeat business-something we always strive for.

Description of Work: I needed a pruning of a healthy but overgrown tree as neighbors were complaining. I got two estimates and Takoma Tree's was substantially lower. They were pleasant to deal with in setting it up, and the crew arrived on time. They then did a great job, first and foremost in terms of shaping and pruning. I have no expertise in proper tree techniques, but they appear to know what they were doing quite well. They removed a tremendous amount of cuttings, cleaned up well, and were good to the neighbors. A very good experience overall. (There appears to be no cut and paste feature here -- so I am leaving this in this answer and skipping it below)

We really appreciate the feedback and positive review from this customer. As I've noted before in various responses, it's our valued customer base which has over the years made us who we are-the DC area's premier tree service. Our outstanding service, reliablity, fair pricing and professionalism have all contributed to our growth, and it's why we have so may repeat customers and referrals. One of our main priorities at Takoma Tree Expert's is customer retention-we don't just want to work for somebody once-our business model is built up around repeat business and continuing service to all of our valued customers. It was a pleasure to work for this customer, and we hope to be able to care for his tree(s) again in the future.
