They did an excellent job. They brought a crane in and had to move it over our neighbor's garage to take it out. There were no issues with their work and we have used them for about 40 years now. He is very trustworthy and we would highly recommend them.

Based on our experience, I have to boot our long standing relationship with J&B to the curb.
Description of Work: During the summer of 2017, we wanted one tree taken out at an elderly family member's home. In addition, we wanted 4 large trees taken out of our yard. We called 5 times in reference to the two jobs, 2 of which we spoke to a live person female answering the phone when we asked for estimates. Responsiveness rates very badly with this company, and when we did get a response (and estimate) for the singular tree, it was only because of our repeated phone calls. THAT estimate was 3 times higher than the two other estimates. We could assume it was because they really didn't want the job, but another excellent tree service did. Having been a customer of J&B for many, many years, we returned to them to get us an estimate on our 4 trees. Once again spoke to a real live young lady, and then never heard back. As I write this, a competitor who DID want a $2500.00 job are removing the 4 trees in our yard.

It went very well. It was tight getting their cherry picker back there. They didn't destroy anything and were very careful and courteous. They did an excellent job and I would use them again.

Well! Fast response, rapid scheduling, prompt service. I give them a B only because they neglected to trim a few branches and did not check with me before departing. I would have asked them to finish what may have been overlooked branches.

When I called to have this company remove some trees in my yard, I was given a prompt estimate, by the "Owner John!" When his "Expert" crew showed up to do the job, their foreman, "Bubba" said he wouldn't be able to get his lift truck into a position, to safely do the work. They then proceeded to call the boss, "The Owner John!" Who then proceeded not to show up to assess the job any further, after being told that he'd call me, later on that day. They left me hanging like my mother's clean sheets on a clothesline! When "John the Owner" called to do the job and rebidding, it was over 2 weeks later! We weren't home to receive the call but he left me a message like there had been nothing wrong, just sorry we didn't want to let you think we just left you hanging.....Uh well you did! By then we had already had the work done by another contractor in the area and for 400.00 less than the bid we got from J & B (Not so) Professional Tree Service. The most ironic thing of all of this story was there was a storm in the area the day after they showed up and then pulled away.....This company was even interviewed on the local news channel. Guess who they interviewed? Yup it was "Bubba," who had stated right on the TV that night, "We have a lot of work to keep us busy for the next couple of weeks!" Well that is just about the length of time it took them to get back to me.
Description of Work: Bid the job....We accepted the bid, they showed up and then proceeded to pull off the job before performing any work at all.

Wow- top notch company, great responsiveness, great pricing, terrific crew that came out and took the monster tree down while being pleasant, professional and making it look quite effortless. I've dealt with this company for years, give them a 5 star rating, and recommend them whenever I can!

Polite, professional and safe tree removal, would recommend to anyone wanting a tree to disappear. However, we really wanted to harvest our trees for firewood, and despite communicating this to the owner and the tree removal team repeatedly, we were sad to see so much great fuel turn into mulch. Watched a guy trim off branches so he could fit a huge chunk of wood into mulcher, instead of putting it aside to save! I had a few sleepless nights due to this. The mindset of the team is definitely one of tree removal, not harvest. In the end we really regret this experience.

Difficult job as storm damaged tree was on a lower level and could only be reached and lifted out with a crane from an upper level. Company was booked since October had and trouble scheduling crane. Fortunately fallen tree had not hit or damaged house and did not interfere with anything. When job was finally completed in January it was done in the professional manner this company is known for.

The tree in my front yard was enormous. Me and my neighbors watched from their driveway as this tree came down. It was amazing to watch them work with such accuracy. Had to be taken down in large sections with a crane. The tree in my back yard was not accessible for the equipment so I watched in fascination as they cut the tree and hauled the large sections over the top of my house with the crane and onto the truck in front. Jand B was very professional, prompt and did a superior job of the cleanup. They even sent me a thank you note for allowing them to do the job. You don't see that every day! I would highly recommend them.
Description of Work: I had two massive trees removed from my front & back yard as well as had the stumps ground down and everything removed. They were $1500.00 cheaper than my other quotes.

I think his name was John, we called Jand B and he came by for an appointment and was very professional, did everything by the book, gave me an estimate and we sealed the deal. Jand B crew arrived in time, introduced themselves and were very professional, nice guys. The tree was cut down and the wood placed where i instructed them to place it, they left the yard clean and raked. Everything went smoothly the way i like it and i am picky. Good crew leader, took charge when he needed to and his crew worked like a well oiled chain. The stump grounder came later and ground the stomp, was instructed as to what to expect, because we wanted to do the landscape afterwards ourselves. Everything went smoothly, no problems. But surprised at the mountain of dirt and chips of wood that was left behind after the grounding, even after being told so, but we tackle it. The machine operator was a very pleasant and informative type of person, very affable. We are happy with Jand B and i would definitely employ them again, matter of fact i have another tree that i need to call them about it, lol. Thank you Jand B for a job well done i wish everyone else would be just like that!

The wood was delivered promptly and professionally. No complaints there. The wood seems well seasoned. My only problem with the wood was that too many of the pieces were in big chunks and had to be further split. .Also, because I had to pay a delivery charge because of the distance to my house, it ended up being a little pricey.

Carefully prepared back yard for large crane that was needed for the job. Removing the tree took about one day. It was an enormous, difficult job and professionally done. Cleaned up afterward, raked yard. Have used this service before and would recommend.

It went well. My husband was really satisfied. He called back to make an appointment with my husband immediately and he came back for a second consultation and got to work and completed it even quicker than what he thought. His price was very reasonable. We were very happy. He was very responsive to our needs and he gave immediate feedback and scheduled us right away. So all in all it was a terrific experience and we would definitely recommend to anyone else.

We are happy with how the yard looks now and I learned some invaluable lessons about tree service.
Description of Work: We needed some trees taken out of our backyard. The guys showed up on time to do the work and the crew was very nice. Bubba was a great site manager. During the final cut down, a log hit our house and damaged the siding on our home. They were quick to come out and check the damage. The problem was that the person they had to repair our siding was never available. It took weeks to get the repairs done. I gave him a piece of siding and a piece of downspout to match the paint. It appeared to match, but when it was done, the color was way off. Our lawn was so torn up from the truck that we had deep tracks in the lawn. They covered the first part of the lawn with ply wood but not all the way back. We had several stumps ground up and silly me.....I didn't know they would just leave huge piles of saw dust. They don't remove it. Lesson learned for me. As a consumer, you need to ask all sorts of questions. I asked the owner what they do with the wood (walnut) he said they just take it away. The guy that did the removing of the wood told me they sell it. So they basically get paid twice.

I decided to go with this company based on initial contact and best estimate. However, their follow-up communication was atrocious which led to a misconception on my part of when they would be doing their service. I had made arrangements to be home on the day I was led to believe they would be here. On the day of service, I called to ask what time I could expect them and they did not have me on their list. While I was trying to understand what happened and what to do next, the woman who answers their phone became very snarky with me and very unprofessional. I would not recommend this company based on the way I was treated by their front desk. I ended up calling my insurance company for their recommendations on other tree service providers

We had a big storm in the area, and they were very good with tree service; their quality of work was very good. They are clean, courteous and professional. They respond within a day, and when they say they are going to be here, they are here. I bought a cord of firewood, and it was $175. I would rate them highly and would use them again in the future.
