This was an awful experience. The tree fell in the wrong direction and hit my roof. It punched one gaping 3 foot hole in the roof and 3 smaller holes. I’m not a tree expert and even I could see that Rick was being lazy and remaining in the bucket truck instead of climbing the tree like he should have. The top portion of the tree that he cut off was at least 50 feet tall and there’s no way that’s a safe cut when the tree is less than20 feet from my house. He then reassured me that his contractor will fix the whole thing immediately and that he’ll pay for everything. It’s been a rainy and snowy two weeks, his contractor did a **** job of fixing the large hole and hasn’t even sealed up 2 of the smaller holes so water has been pouring in thru the roof for two weeks now. I’ve asked him twice for his insurance company info and he refuses to give it to me and now he won’t even return my text messages. DO NOT EVER HIRE THIS HACK. He has done irreparable damage to my antique pumpkin pine floors on both the second story and the first story of my house.
Description of Work: He cut down a large pine tree in my yard.

Response from Affordable Tree Service
Affordable Tree Service did cut down a very brittle pine tree for [Member Name Removed], unfortunately the top fell in the wrong direction and hit her roof. We in turn hired a contractor to repair the hole, which unfortunately did not do a good job. We are being accused of being "hackers" or trying to "screw" [Member Name Removed] by not providing insurance information, which has clearly been provided to her. Affordable Tree Service has done work for her in the past, and did a wonderful job (or she would not have hired him again), before a job is done an email is sent to the customer in which insurance information is provided and the information was given to her last May prior to doing the first job. We have apologized to [Member Name Removed] and tried to fix the roof, but once we realized she was not happy, a call to the insurance company was made. Unfortunately she has blasted our company and has reported false information, stating we either don't want our rates to go up or we don't have insurance, which neither is true. A licensed arborist in Maine is required to carry insurance, she has the information and has filed a claim...her whole roof is in disrepair...so makes you wonder what her agenda is. I realize everyone has the right to post on social media however be truthful.

Basically, I listed all the details above, except this. When he started we agreed to half payment up front and the balance at competition. Well, 2-3 days into it he asked for another $500.00 for work done. After another few days he ask for more money saying he had to fix his truck or rent a piece of equipment or some reason. Basically, he made you feel sorry for him and pay him for work not yet done. This was a big mistake on my part and I never should have done this, but I did and now I have no leverage or money to get the job finished. The bottom line is that this company is bad news and if you hire him you are most likely going to be kicking yourself like I am. He already had three bads reviews on him, I asked him about them and he said he was accused unfairly and I believed him. I should have paid attention to the reviews.
Description of Work: He did not finish the job. He cut down 50 trees and only took the firewood he could sell. He left all the limbs in my yard . He never ground the stumps and left me with a torn up yard. All this was all part of his quote. I must have called him 15 times over a month period and he say he'd be over and when he didn't show,I'd call him again and he would give me one excuse after another on why he didn't come back when he said he would. I know know they were all lies and he obviously never intended on finishing. I was a fool for trusting this guy and im just hoping I can prevent other unsuspecting good honest people from getting burnt like I did.

They had to use cranes to take down the trees due to the situation. They did a very nice job and cleaned up when the job was complete. They finished the job in about a day and a half. They did everything they said they were going to do. I would hire them again in the future.
Description of Work: They cut down two very large pine trees, one was dead and the other was leaning over the house. They also took down a dozen smaller pine trees, as well as a big maple tree.
