New Life Arboricultural Services

Charged 13k to remove a half a tree that had fallen on my garage. They were recommended by my insurance company so I didn't think to check how much it would cost but they gouged it so much that they took my whole policy payout and my garage cannot be fixed. Spoke with Tim at the office and he cannot even send me an invoice until the end of day. Run do not use these people. Also to note: They came the day after they said they would be there, they did not call I had to reach out. I gave a pass on this as there was a major storm, but not very professional to not call. I had to call the office 6 times before they answered this morning. Charged for clean up, however there are still 3 large pieces of tree in my yard. They're was some type of manager (Lansing lesson) there because their Lansing crews had been "caught doing stuff they shouldn't" Do not use this company Edit / Follow up: After reaching out and waiting they did send me an invoice for just over 8500 for the same job, never did receive an invoice for the 13 thousand that they sent to my insurance company. This still seems excessive to me and I did reach out and they were unwilling to lower it any more. They charge for a full 8 hour day no matter how long they are actually on the job, which they state is standard practice, however none of the other three tree companies I called do this. I never received a response to my email questioning this, however, Rebecca was able to email me within minutes when I asked where to send the check. The contact that they make you sign leaves absolutely no protection for you the customer, they can do what ever they want and there is no recourse, including not honoring any estimate given. If you don't pay within 30 days they will charge you interest. This is a predatory company and they are very good at seeming like they are their to help until you get the invoice, then they will not help at all.

Tim was very reliable, understanding, and they charge a fair price.

Great customer service, friendly, and helpful. They didn't overcharge and they clean really well. They show courtesy in my backyard.
