Holy smokers! Excellent, efficient tree work. Express cut down a 35' leyland cypress and ground the stump in no time. It was as if the tree was never there. Meticulous crew; they cleaned up everywhere they worked and laid mats on my waterlogged lawn so their stump grinder would not chew it to a hog wallow. They even kindly chipped a pile of branches that I had cut during the winter. I now know that probably due to their being busy, that they are a little slower than others to provide an estimate, but they WILL get to you! Be patient, as their prices are most fair and their work, as I said, is without fault. Nice, shiny trucks, too! Highly, highly recommended.

Joe Perla's crew headed by his lead, Alex Garcia, did a fabulous job. Each crew member had their individual job and went to work immediately and diligently as a team until the work was completed. It was a very hot and humid day and they were very professional despite the heat. I was amazed when they began how the one fellow climb up the tree to begin making cuts in reasonably sized pieces and how they managed the safe "disassembling" of each tree. They were like artists. Very efficiently Alex moved the stumping machine into one area, then the other to stump out the root of each tree. I was very impressed with their work and I would highly recommend this company to my fellow Angielist subscribers. Although I thought they were supposed to be at my house mid-morning, and didn't arrive to start until around 12:30 pm, in the end it was very evident to me that if they had been working another job before mine, that they were giving it their best, as they did at my place, so in the end it really didn't matter to me because of the good workers, great work and good pricing that I received.
Description of Work: They removed and stumped out two trees, and did some light trimming of overhanging tree debris nearby.

I called them after seeing their signs in the neighborhood and the work they had done. They came in the evening to fit my schedule for the estimate. Not really knowing what this would cost as I've never had trees taken down before, I asked some neighbors and co-workers what they had paid for similar work. The price they gave seemed reasonable and I scheduled the service. I did have a cheaper quote from a company I had never heard of, but I wanted to get 3 quotes. They came around 7:30am on a Saturday as scheduled. After they were finished you couldn't tell they had been there. They cleaned up everything; small branches, leaves and wood chips. The only thing left were the bare spots where the trees had been. They were done in about an hour. Word to the wise - they make a lot of noise between the chain saws and the chipper. Just be prepared if you have them come first thing in the morning on a weekend and you have cranky neighbors (fortunately, I don't). I would absolutely use them again!
Description of Work: I had 3 large (over 40ft) trees removed and the stumps ground.

I had them scheduled to come out and remove a tree and my grandmother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and I left them a message and I told them not to come so obviously I rescheduled. He came out on the rescheduled date and there's a lot going on at that time and they never called to confirm, nothing, they just came out, did the work and I said I was not prepared for them to come out, so they were their cutting down the tree. I had to go to work, there was no way for me to pay them because I wasn't around, they just came unannounced, so I went to work and send a check the next day on the address on their website which was incorrect address. The check was not cashed and they called telling me to make payment and told them to wait for a few days for the check. One thing that pissed me off was that, the owner let me voicemails screaming and telling me to pay. I have never been spoken to by somebody who I paid to do work for like that. Will I recommend them to anybody. He was absolutely awful. He had two people come out and he was fair in pricing.

They came early; that was nice. They did it nice, quick and easy and it was done in no time. They were kind and courteous and very professional. They cleaned up after themselves and that was good. I thought the price was reasonable; it was a big tree they took down.

See full explanation above.
Description of Work: I had a dead tree in a corner of the back yard, fenced in by each neighbors fence. One side was actually up against the fence. A part of the dead tree had fallen in a wind storm, unto each property owners fences. My homeowners fixed their fences, and I had to remove the tree. I had called 3 other companies for an estimate. The range was from $425-$475. Express Tree Service did a great job for $275.00. They had to be very careful in cutting it down so it did not fall back into the neighbors fence again. They did a great job and were done and cleaned up in one hour.

I scheduled an estimate via phone. The vendor showed up on time and reviewed my property to prepare detailed estimate. He provided expert advice and even talked me out of trimming one tree that he said was a very nice tree and did not need any work. There was a lot of rain for a week so the job was understandably delayed. They arrived on the first sunny day and completed the job. The workers worked quickly and did a thorough job that involved significant branch removal. I also had them clean off the roof and gutters and they did a nice job. The workers cleaned up all of the branches and left the property as they found it but with nicely trimmed trees. I would use them again.
Description of Work: I had 7 trees trimmed and one tree cut down.

Please see above dissapointing details.
Description of Work: Expert Tree Service is the worse service provider I had ever encountered. The owner, Joe, came for the estimate and I closed the deal for July 18th service. A day before, a certain Eileen called apologizing, informing me that Joe will be on vacation and requested a new date for our tree service (july 26). Day before, I moved heavy things that wll be on the way of the tree cutting & I wailted for the service to come. I called 3 times on the 26th but no answer, no service came. In the late afternoon, Joe arrived, giving lots of excuses, apologizing, and had set up a next day appointment(7/27) at around 3 o'clock. I again, waited, cancelled all my other commitment for the day . No JOE, NO PHONE CALL!!!!!. What a way to deal with customer! If there is a grade lower than F, Expert Tree Service surely deserve F-!

Joe from Express Tree Service, who lives in my neighborhood, came out and gave me an estimate. I'd never met him berfore, and he seemed very nice and professional and his price was competitive. Upon asking about him, I heard from neighbors that some people had bad past experiences with Joe. I researched Express Tree Service on the internet and found a few reviews indicating that he had been nice initially but got nasty after the work wasn't completed as expected. In the end, I used Expert Tree Service by Laorraine Farms because they were receommended by neighbors and they had the best price. Once the work was complete, I kept forgetting to take down the Expert Tree Service sign. A few weeks later I got a call from a blocked number asking me if I realized that I was advertising for a bad person who was stealing work. I explained that Expert Tree Service did good work for me and I didn't mind having their sign in my yard. When the caller continued to badmouth Expert Tree Service, I hung up on them. I receognized the woman caller's voice as the person who set up my appointment with Express Tree Service. I was a little frightened by the call and felt like I was being put in the middle of some sort of feud. I took down the sign (which I was going to do anyway) on the next trash day because I feared that my home might be damaged if not. This was the most bizarre experience I ever had with a service provider.

The crew arrived a little earlier than expected. They performed their work in a professional manner, removed all debris, and finished on time. They exceeded my expectations.
Description of Work: Large trees overhanging both sides of the house were removed. The stumps were ground out. Overgrown brush and ivy was removed. Many trees in the back yard were trimmed back significantly. Weed roots were ground out. Overall appearance of the yard has dramatically improved.

Getting an estimate was quick and easy, but to actually make an appointment for the work took me a while. I needed to call them a few times because they did not call me back when they said they would call me. Then, they did not show up on the day of the appointment. I just cancelled the job.

As much as we try and keep on schedule sometimes things come up that causes us to have to change things around. Bad weather is a big element. Sometimes jobs take longer than exected. Emergencys arise. We are extremely sorry for the inconvenience.

Description of Work: I heard good things about EXPRESS TREE SERVICE and was very interested in having them develop a quotation for a substantial amount of tree work required on my property. Problem was, they never returned any of the three phone calls that I made to them. If they don’t have the courtesy to return a call, than I can only draw one conclusion about their business and have rated it appropriately.

We try and return all calls within 24 hr. Usually if the customer is not home we leave a message and sometimes we just don't connect with them for what ever reason. We are sorry that we were never able to connect with the Member.

They were on time and they seemed professional. I liked that they gave me an estimate right then. The price was really reasonable compared to an estimate we got from someone else. They will be doing the work next week.

Even though I had an estimate for less, I felt Patrick (the site supervisor who provided our estimage) was much more knowledgeable about trees and professional so we went with Express Tree Service. We are glad we did. The work was done on time and the all work was done as promised. His crew left our yard cleaner than they found it, removing all debris and raking it. The trimmed trees look good and wood from the cut trees was neatly placed near my firewood pile as requested. I'd definately use Express Tree Service again.
