See above -- all went very well. I would hire them again if needed.
Description of Work: Following call to this tree service for free estimate, Mr. Brennan came two days later to see the work needed. This is a largeyard with many trees needing various trimming, deadwooding, etc. Following a tour of the yard with Mr. Brennan making notes,hegave me an estimate of $1,100. He said this work could be done pretty soon. On 5/16/12, he called to see if this date was ok, and if it was, he would send his crew to start the job. A crew of 8 men came,one of which was Mr. Brennan's son. I reviewed all the work desired, and then they took off in groups to do this work.Besides dead-wood trimming, this consisted of removing low branches on two trees overhanging the home's roof, raisingor removing low branches on two cedar trees, and pruning the tops of two trees that had not leafed out since late spring frostof 2010. A total of 11 trees needed work of one kind or another. Following the work performed, they cleaned up all the debris .... ran through their shredder and/or hauled away.They did an excellent cleanup job. Mr. Brennan came before all cleanup was done and I told him his men had done afine job, including the cleanup. Mr. Brennan's price estimate on 5/14/12 included an Angie's member discount of $100, but after all work performed andfollowing my satisfaction also with the clean-up, I told him I should pay a bit more. We settled on $1,150.00.

These guys were friendly, professional, and worked hard to make a space where we could plant our new tree. They even shot a few hoops with the kids in the alley, who were thrilled to have big guys playing with them. They left the property in good shape.
Description of Work: We had a huge oak tree removed in the fall by another tree service who ground the stump down six inches below the surface. When spring came and it was time to plant a new tree, the same tree service came back and told us they couldn't grind the stump, that it was too big. We called Kevin and he and his some came to the house and gave us an estimate and then ground the stump two more feet.

Kevin was very quick to call me back. He was out to look at the trees I needed trimmed almost immediately (within a day I believe). He quoted me on the spot. It did take about 1.5 weeks to get the work done, but was not urgent so no concerns. Although they missed the small tree Kevin volunteered to come back to do it that day but it was not a big deal so I did not request that. In addition they were nice enough to trim a couple of branches on a much larger tree that were getting close to my house. The work was done in no time and they took all the mess with them. Kevin called me the next day and let me know that they noted a small hole in my roof when they were trimming the trees. Kevin was very pleasant and I would absolutely recommend and use him again.
Description of Work: The work included trimming 2 trees that were really overgrown and rubbing my house, remove and grind down 3 bush stumps, trim a larger tree on the side of the house laying on the roof and a small tree that needed pruned on the back.

They started work within a couple hours after my reaching a price agreement with Kevin. The removal and trimming was all done within a couple hours here working. They cleaned up well before leaving. I was told they would be back later in the week to grind out the stumps when the weather dried up a bit. The weather cleared but they did not come back that week. I called Kevin the next Tuesday morning because my concrete guy wanted to get started where one of the stumps was located. Kevin again responded quickly and had his crew out here within a couple hours and got all the stumps removed. No payment was required until the work was completed. All in all I feel I got very good service for my money.
Description of Work: Kevin's crew removed an approximately 20' tall Hemlock tree, a Lilac bush, three Rose of Sharon bush trees that were clumped together, and three other bush shaped trees for a total of 8. They also removed three fence posts and trimmed up the bottom of an Oak tree that was starting to contact the roof of my home. And they ground all the stumps out.

A huge branch fell from a big tree, but was dangling perpendicular onto the roof so last night I called the number one choice on Angie's List. Kevin called me back last night and when I explained that it was over my toddler's bedroom adn was scraping the new roof, he agreed to try and come out here today. He came this morning and gave me a quote for that tree and tidying up the other backyard trees. It was $600, but I just asked him to do what he could for $500. Around noon 4 men and a bunch of tools were here to work. They noticed that the gutters were full and offered to clean them at no additional charge. I was so happy! They trimmed the dead wood and removed all the waste, making the trees healthier and safer.
Description of Work: Trimmed deadwood from several trees, removed fallen branch from roof, cleaned up afterwards!

I found Kevin on angieslist and left him a voicemail requesting a bid for my project. He responded quickly and gave me a quote without me having to be at the house, which was extremely helpful because I work during the day. Despite the overwhelming heat, the work was done quickly (on the first day when it wasn't dangerous to be out working in the heat) and was done extremely well. The large tree that they trimmed looks great and they made sure that no branches were left in a position to cause potential damage to my roof. The crew arrived in the morning and had all of the work done within a couple of hours. When they left, there was no debris or mess left behind. Kevin was great to work with and extremely professional. I would definitely recommend him!
Description of Work: Removal of two large branches off a tree overhanging our roof as well as trimming higher branches to keep them from hanging over the roof, removal of a locust in the side yard, minor cleanup of bushes and trees in the backyard.

We have used a number of tree services over the years. All have been satisfactory. Ultimately our decision usually came down to price and availability. The severe weather of the past few months has created so much tree work that both price and wait time have gone up significantly. Owing to the, mostly, positive reports on Angie's List I contacted Kevin Brennan Tree Service for a quote. Reading through the negative reports I noted they were due to a problem with timely responses not quality of work. This did not concern me because our situation did not require an urgent response. It did require two phone calls to have Mr. Brennan quote. Again, this was not surprising given the high volume of tree work going on right now. We hired Kevin Brennan Tree Service and were delighted with the results. A six man crew, armed with an impressive array of equipment, had our two, large, dead trees completely gone in under five hours despite some truly oppressive heat. I was concerned about damage to our lawn and gardens from the removal process. After all, these were big trees in an area tightly confined by a pond, ornamentals and bedding areas full of mature plantings. Through the use of great care and skill Kevin Brennan Tree Service removed both trees without even disturbing the surrounding mulch. In short; you may have to be persistent but Kevin Brennan Tree Service provided good value and excellent service.
Description of Work: Removed two large trees.

I found Kevin Brennan Tree Service after seeing them listed here on Angie's List. I called Kevin Brennan Tree Service on a Sunday afternoon expecting to get a voice recording but actually spoke with Kevin Brennan himself. He took took down my information and said he would come by my property in the next 1-2 days to check out the tree and follow up with an estimate for the removal and stump grinding. He followed up as promised and gave me a quote that I thought was very fair. He reminded me that his business was insured and bonded and that he uses all his own workers, no sub-contractors. We made an agreement over the phone to go ahead with the proposal. A few days later Kevin's crew came by and removed the tree. When I came home from work it looked as if the tree had just disappeared. There was minimal marring on my lawn, the area was cleaned up very well, and the only sign that work had been done was the hay laid over the spot where the stump used to be. I was very pleased with how quickly and thorough they did the work. It had been raining a lot in April and I was also pleased that they managed to avoid putting huge tracks in the yard. Kevin called the next day to follow with me about the service. He wanted to make sure I was completely satisfied. I was satisfied and he then issued an invoice. In all, this process went about as smoothly and hassle as one can hope. I would definitely recommend this Kevin Brennan Tree Service to others, and I will call them again when I have other tree service needs.
Description of Work: I had a dead pine tree in my front yard that needed to be removed before it fell over. It was about 30-40 feet high and wasn't near any power lines or other houses. I wanted the tree to be cut down, taken away and the stump ground down and filled in.

Once we agreed on the scope and price, the company was able to schedule the job very quickly. The work was performed exactly as I'd hoped, and all debris was properly removed. It took 2-3 days for each of my calls to be returned, and I didn't receive advance notice of when Mr. Brennan would be at my house for the estimate, but overall I was very pleased.

I called and spoke to Kevin about coming out to look at 2 tree stumps that need to be removed. Kevin asked if he could come later in the week because he had another job in the area. I agreed that would be fine. I never heard back from Kevin. I called again about 2 weeks later and left a message...again I never heard back from Kevin. I find it very disappointing that a business with such a high rating has such poor customer service.

Contacted this company and two others due to superior ratings on Angies List. The owner, Kevin Brennan, returned my call within one day and provided an estimate within three days. I chose this company based on responsiveness, pricing, and apparent commitment to quality. Kevin had insurance papers sent to me directly from his insurer within days of my request. It took a couple of weeks before the work could be completed due to inclimate weather. Kevin contacted me the morning he could complete the work - I would have preferred a little more notice, but was satisfied just to get the job done. A crew of 4 came on-site supervised by Kevin's son. They removed the Spruce, grounded out the stump, trimmed the other tree and cleaned up all debris. They appeared to work safely and were particularly careful not to disturb other plantings in the landscape. Overall, the Kevin Brennan Tree Service provided me a quality service, at a good price and in a timely manner. I would employ them again.

Made a phone call to Kevin in reference to the good Angies List review. He spoke with me and said he had some available time the next day to do the job, after earlier stopping bye to quote the work. We agreed over the phone that the next day would work. He said they would be there at 7:30, at 7:28 the army showed up to start the work. They were very courteous and respectful of my property. They started taking down both trees like it was no problem, even using ropes to lower the branches so they wouldn't hit the deck. Both trees were done that day, everything hauled off, and the yard was raked. The next day a small crew showed up to fill the hole in front with clean dirt where the stump was ground out. They also put down seed and straw. Everything like it was promised, would definitely use again.
Description of Work: Had a 35 year old pin oak tree cut down and hauled off. Also had a sweet gum tree cut down, hauled off, and the stump grinded out.

I got the name from Angie's list and called for an estimate. Mr. Brennan had the best estimate and I referred him to some neighbors where he also removed two trees. My neighbors and I were very satisfied with the work. I have referred the company to a friend, who also needs to have a tree removed. Prompt, professional, polite workers.

After seeing the ratings on Angie's List I called the number provided and left a message. I heard nothing back so I called the alternate number and spoke with Kevin. He said that the message he received had the incorrect phone number so I reiterated my information. Again I heard nothing so I called again and was given an estimate for part of the work. I asked that he also give me an estimate for some pruning in the back yard. I have heard nothing since. I don't feel it should be necessary for me to be the one who makes all the calls.

Hard to hire someone if they don't return your call
Description of Work: Since this was the first company listed under "tree service" on the list, I decided to call this company. Kevin, promptly answered when I called. He said he was near my area at the time, and would drop by to took a look at my tree. Never heard back from him. After about a week, I called him back and left a message. A week later, still no response. Guess they don't need the business.

The crew was here on time led by the owner, Kevin. They completed the tasks quickly and completely. They raked the area and used a blower to remove small debris and left the area cleaner than when they arrived. I am very satisfied with the service they provided and will not hesitate to use them again for other Landscaping and Tree services.
Description of Work: Kevin's crew cleared an area containing about six huneysuckle vines that had grown to about 10' high on a slope behind my house, cut down one medium size tree and trimmed dead branches off a tree.

I used them one other time to do a stump removal. He is a really nice fellow. They came out on time, did everything that they said they were going to do and cleaned everything up. They did real well. I got some other estimates; he wasn?t the cheapest or the most expensive; he was right in the middle. He did a little bit more work than I think the other guys were going to do; it probably was at the lower end of the scale. The price was good. I would rate them highly.

Overall they did a great job. Some of the stuff was about 60 ft. in the air and they did a great job. They are very thorough as far as cleaning up. They are very intellegent and know what they are doing and what to look for. They are cordial, competent and nice guys. They are very courteous as well. There were 6 or 7 guys that were here all day.They are fully insured and when you are doing something this dangerous that it is very important. It is nice to know that you dealing with an experienced contractor that understands the liability consequences. I will definitely do business with them again and I would recommend them to anyone.

Kevin's men were professional and very good at what they did. The tree removal went smoothly and almost surgically with the equipment they used. Once the stump was ground, they removed the sawdust, spread topsoil and grass seed and straw. The best service for tree removal I've ever had and I've had to remove 8 trees from our property in the last 5 years. The trees that were trimmed look wonderful and a very good job was done by everyone. They even managed to catch my small yorkie who made a mad dash out the front door while they were here, saving me the frustration of trying to catch a very young and quick pup.

They did a great job. They were efficient and polite. Kevin had done tree trimming work for me about 4 years ago. I would certainly use his company again.
Description of Work: Kevin's crew trimmed several (5) trees (one of which hung over my two story roof), removed one large 2-trunk river birch entirely and ground the stump, and removed a couple overgrown shrubs. They also trimmed my "airspace" along the back property line where a neighbors trees and bushes are invasive. They removed all trimmings, raked the grass to clean up excessive debris, filled the stump hole with topsoil, seeded and spread hay.

I'm very pleased. Kevin Brennan Tree Service performed exactly what I asked for and they showed up exactly on schedule. When they were done grinding out the tree stump they filled in the hole with fresh top soil and grass seed. I had a special request that they move a section of fencing to get to the work site and replace it when the work was complete, and they did this task with no complaint. I would hire them again.

Kevin, the owner, came out personally to give the bid on the spot. I looked at 2 other companies and selected Kevin because his bid provided the greatest value (price, timing, perceived quality, etc.). He called the week prior to let me know his crew would be out the following week and he'd call to let me know. He called on Friday and let me know they were on their way. Kevin came out to check on his crew while the work was in progress and at the completion of the job. Very personable guy and his crew did a great job. They pulled out some very large bushes, including a 12 ft arborvitae. I was expecting to see huge craters left, but they had filled all of them in with top soil. Also, I asked them to pull out one additional bush which Kevin did not charge us for...I would definitely recommend.
Description of Work: Pulled out 5 overgrown bushes and pruned around 9 trees (trees about 10 yrs old).
