Description of Work: Called them in Oct to trim some large dead branches from a lrg tree and from another tree which were almost touching my house. They said they could "fit me in" because it was a small job. I said OK. Waited and waited, in Jan. they called & left message that they could do the job. I had already called another company.

Rick McLain, owner of Black Bear Tree Experts, is extremely professional and does top-notch work. He came with two co-workers, and it was like watching a choreographed maneuver. They didn't waste a minute, they were extremely safe in everything that they did. They each knew exactly what to do and when to do it to make the work run smoothly. The tree by the house was particularly difficult since it was very large and right up against the house. But Rick was able to take down each section of the tree without a branch or any part of the trunk ever hitting the roof. He had a large bucket truck that reached as high as any I've seen, so he was able to take off limbs in chunks from very high up. The crew chipped all the branches with leaves and left the large stuff for us as we had asked, so we could use it for firewood. When I called Rick initially to see if he could do the job, even though it was in the middle of an extremely busy season for him, he came out the next day to give us an estimate, and said he could get to the work in 3-4 weeks. He then came to do the job three weeks later, calling the day before to make sure the day would work for us. We couldn't have asked for anything to have been done in a more expert or professional manner! And on top of all of this, he also has an answering service! That is rare among tree experts in our ares and unbelievably helpful. I could call anytime and know that my message would get through to Rick, and that he would call me back. If we have another tree that we need cut, I will definitely call Black Bear Experts again! Rick gets an A++ rating from us!
Description of Work: Trimmed two trees, and cut down large tree next to the house.

They did a good job doing it. The price was fair. They were very pleasant people. It didn't take them very long to do the job. I'd have them again. They were excellent. I'm going to try to get them again this fall more than likely.

Black Bear Tree Service showed up and gave me an estimate. I accepted the estimate, which was totally reasonable. They did the job, taking down several trees quickly and perfectly, then they cleaned up. I'd hire them again in a heartbeat.
Description of Work: I had several large trees that were growing too close to the house and garage. The trees were growing at angles that made removal dangerous for an amateur like me.

We found them on Angie's List. Called to get an estimate. They came out the next day, quoted the job on the spot. We agreed to the price. They said it would be about 1 - 2 weeks. 48 hours later, the trees were gone. Not another leaf disturbed in the yard. Price exactly as quoted. We would hire them again in a minute. These were very large trees, and two of them were against the power line to the house. This is a professional outfit - not a couple of guys with a chainsaw. When we are ready to have the stumps ground, we will call them to do the work.
Description of Work: Removed 5 large trees from our front yard, 2 of which were very close to and threatening the power lines.

. The apparent owner of the company responded promptly to my call. He was friendly and showed great expertise. He gave a surprisingly low estimate for the work. At the appointed day and hour, the workers were a bit late, but a call to their office revealed that their arrival was imminent. They worked quickly and efficiently and cleaned up after themselves thoroughly.
Description of Work: An unseasonable snowstorm weighted down and broke a large portion of a maple tree in my backyard. The broken part draped across the lawn and over my fence. I needed someone to cut it free of the tree and remove it from the property. I also had a large dead branch from a nearby tree that was still attached but needed removal.

Great. I've already recommended him to a neighbor.
Description of Work: He took one look at the tree and said $350. I said I wanted the stump removed and he said and additional $60 but he couldn't do the clean up on the stump. He removed the tree and every single scrap of wood. Two weeks later (right when he said he would be there) he showed up with a stump remover. Ground it down way below the ground level . We were thrilled with his price and work.

I called and he came when he said he would. He got out of the truck, looked at the tree and gave me an instant price of $350. for the tree and $65. for the stump. He said he would clean up after the tree but not the stump grinding. I agreed. He came when he said he would with a truck with a cherry picker on it plus a chipper. He carefully limned down and removed the tree down to a few , maybe 3 inches, from the ground. Every last twig was racked and chipped as was the entire tree - chipped and gone. He returned at the end of the week as he said he would and ground the stump down one foot below the ground. I was thrilled. Very professional. I would give him an A+ if that was an option. He was fabulous and had the cheapest price of all the 3 estimates.

Intelligent and professional from the get-go. Came to give estimate and we were sold...he was knowledgeable, friendly, took notes, answered questions directly and fully. Crew and equipment arrived as promised; they knew exactly what they were doing. He wasn't inexpensive but I have had unsatisfactory experiences with those who thought they knew the business. This owner is top rate.
Description of Work: Removed selected trees, delimbed others.
