Response from Hufnagel Tree Service
Hi [Member Name Removed], I apologize for the frustration you experienced back in 2020. Since then, we've made significant improvements to ensure our communication channels are reliable. Unfortunately, we encountered issues with Angi's List not forwarding leads correctly, which contributed to the lack of response you faced. We’re now back on Angi’s List and have taken steps to address these issues to better serve our customers. We truly regret the inconvenience and understand how frustrating this must have been. Given that this issue was a technical glitch and not reflective of our usual service standards, we kindly request that you consider removing or updating the review. If you still need assistance or have any tree service needs, please reach out to me directly at 732-291-4444. I’d be glad to help you and ensure you receive the quality service you deserve. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

We've worked with Hufnagel Tree Service a few times and are always very happy with the service! This year we needed a large, dead pine removed which they did all the way down through the roots so we could cleanly plant a new tree in the future. We also needed 2 ornamental trees cleaned up and some large trees along the property line pruned. It is always a pleasure dealing with Hufnagel. They are here the minute they say they will be. They are respectful of the property and they leave things in perfectly cleaned up condition. We will continue to work with them in the future. Always a pleasure.

The tree trimming was amazing to watch, with men roped and climbing up into the tree to remove all the dead wood. They clean up the tree, removed all of the wood they cut down, and left with the tree looking amazing. The price was very fair, they were extraordinarily professional, and I would hire them again in a heartbeat. Thank you for excellent work!
Description of Work: The very tall tree in front of our home (maybe 50 ft tall) had lots of dead wood, and needed to be cut back. I called Hufnagel Tree Service, they gave me a very fair price, and arrived on the day they said they would.

I was pleased. I called and they came out the same day to look at the trees. That was a plus since I've had some experience with tree companies who never show up. Incredibly professional and worked with my budget. On the day of the tree removal, the removed the trees and ground the stumps down. They raked up all the branches, and lingering brush and the yard looked as if nothing had happened. They were careful with nearby landscaping and I was appreciative of that. Safety for their employees was obvious.
Description of Work: They removed 2 trees. One that had come down in a recent storm and one diseased tree in the yard. They were tricky since the one that came down was nearly on the house--they were very careful and the diseased one was on a property line. They were extremely careful with this one.

Mike came by to give an estimate, which was fair. Let me know exactly what would be done. I asked when the job could be completed, and he let me know in a couple of days. In less than 24 hours, the job was done as said. Definitely would hire again.

(the job date is approximate, I can't remember when this year it was). We've used them before to remove overgrown hedge bushes that came with the house we just bought. They brought a stump grinder as well, to grind down a stump for free. After a year, we called them again this time to remove two trees leaning dangerously on each other. The trees were located at a very inaccessible corner of the property. The pieces had to be carried manually from the spot to their chipper, across the side of a wood shop, down a retaining wall and on to the driveway while avoiding newly-planted trees along the way. They came and did the job. By the time I got back, the trees were gone and it was like they were never there at all. This is what a competent, nonsense-free, professional job looks like.

Quick to respond to my call and also quick to provide an estimate. I was told the trimming could be done in about 2 weeks but they actually came quicker. Arrived 10 minutes early and trimmed the branches away from my roof and wires. They removed any dead branches. Once the cutting was done and the branches were chipped they blew all the sawdust off the property. Nice bunch of guys. I would definitely use them again. They asked for my input on any areas that needed trimming. I appreciate that!

After giving me an estimate, Hufnagel never found the time to actually do the job.
Description of Work: I spoke with Mike ion Sept. 17, 2014 after he came to my home to give me a price quote to trim my Leland Cypress trees. At that time, he had given me a late September date to have the trees trimmed. When I reached out to him again in early October when I hadn't heard back from him, the dates he proposed at that time did not work for me, so he told me not to worry and, since he didn't live too far from me, he would make it a point to make sure the trees would be trimmed the latter part of October. When I reached out to Mike again at the end of October, he again told me he would contact me and not to worry, he wouldn't forget me. Here we are in December and the job I had wanted completed 2 months ago is still not done. Guess the job was too small for Mike. I will now have someone else come to give me an estimate.

Mike Hufnagel (Tree Expert Company) and his Crew arrived 10 minutes earlier than the scheduled arrival time, which was GREAT. Mike then proceeded to brief his Crew on what he and I had agreed on, and they immediately began to work. Mike has a great crew, they knew exactly what they were doing, and they did not stop until the job was done. I got more than I expected from this very efficient crew. Everything I asked for was addressed, and all work was completed in a timely manner. I would highly recommend them, and hire them again. They were courteous, professional, and used the appropriate safety measures for this job. Mike answered all my questions and concerns. He went the extra mile to help me out. I am very pleased with the job that he and his crew did for me. They did a beautiful job, removed all debris, and left my property in pristine condition. Mike is a Certified Arborist, with a lot of experience and a lot of knowledge and this is exactly what I wanted. I couldn't have asked for a better crew to get the job done at my house. Would definitely rehire. Thanks Mike and his Crew for a job well done!
Description of Work: Removed (2) Silver Maple Trees & Ground both Stumps. Trimmed around top of Blue Spruce. Leveled out bottom of Blue Spruce.

It looks great. The tree had inner branches removed so that the sunlight could reach the inner part of the tree. That's how you get rid of bacteria . Mr. Hufnagel is an arborist which is the reason I called him for his knowledge and he was an A all around. He cleaned up after the job and we discussed what was going to happen before the job.

The job went remarkably well! Mike showed up as promised to check out the job and to give me an estimate on Saturday, June 21. In addition to asking for an estimate for raising the pine tree, I also asked him give his professional opinion about 2 very tall trees in my yard. These trees are very old and have a few dead branches so I was not sure if they should be cut down. Mike checked them out and recommended that the trees stay as they are stating that they are still very much alive. How impressive and refreshing to find a contractor who is honest and not just trying to make a buck! On Saturday, Mike explained that he was about 2 weeks out in terms of jobs, so I expected to see his crew by mid-July. For that reason, I was thrilled when they showed up this morning, only 5 days after he gave me the estimate. The crew did a phenomenal job in every aspect. I could not be more pleased with the work they did or the professionalism of Hufnagel Tree Service. When reading through the Angie's List reviews for tree service experts, I honed my choices down to 3 possible companies. I definitely made the right choice by picking Hufnagel. They do extraordinary work and I recommend them without reservation!
Description of Work: Mike and his crew from Hufnagel raised the level of a gigantic pine tree that was taking up 1/4 of my lawn, growing over my deck and overhanging the pool. They removed branches from the bottom 12 feet and cleaned up the area under the tree impeccably. They even cleaned my deck of small twigs and branches that fell off during the process. What a phenomenal job they did!

I was interested in having a tree and shrub yearly service schedule set up. The company I had used for years sold itself to a large nationwide franchise and I was unhappy with the service and decided to go back to a local business. I left numerous voice messages with Hufnagel describing the sort of work I was interested in. None of my calls were returned. Even if they were busy cutting down trees from the storm you would think they could take the time to return a call. Especially an enquiry about an ongoing contract to care for trees. I found another outfit that is in a different county that is eager to grow their business here in Monmouth. I'd say Hufnagel better look over their shoulder.....

Response from Hufnagel Tree Service
I apologize that you had a poor experience with our company. There is no excuse for us not returning your call. Although we specialize in many aspects of tree service, we were not prepared to perform service for you at that time. I can assure you that we are constantly looking to improve all aspects of our service and hopefully you can give us another chance in the future to make it right. Once again, I apologize for not getting back to you in a timely manner. Thank you.

Hufnagel Tree were very good. They were able to come right away, when I asked about his advise which trees to be removed after hurricane Sandy, he told me which ones could be removed. I asked him about other trees which could be removed, he said that would jack up the price and said that those were fine and should not be removed. His people came and did all the work in one day, and cleaned up after, and they charged me exactly what they were going to do and it was an easy experience. He was recommended to use by friends who are very happy with him.
