I'll get to the end first, they were amazingly unprofessional in their dealing with a customer. They come out and quote. Its high so I ask how they get to a number. They can't give me accurate details, in fact the explanation swings around from time to cost to expert opinion and so on. I drill down on needing a methodology. Finally its stated as a time job which is explained as time on the job. Nothing more. No paperwork, nothing. Work done was fine. I was here. When bill came first it wasn't for actual hours. They did adjust immediately. But it was still for more than time worked as workers took two breaks. I was then told the extra time was travel, which was never explained to stated as a charge up front. We went round and round. I offered to split the extra time, more than fair. They sent a contract I was never presented nor signed of course saying their contract says time. My point, I'm not responsible if you don't tell me up front. And they explained to me as a "time worked" so I assume literally. Final email from owner tells me to "stop crying" about this. Really? Its baffles me that businesses can choose to act like this and still get jobs. They were fine at the work, but like so many just assume they can explain nothing and send a bill for you pay without question. I can't imagine what I would have charged had I not been here during the work. Advice is find someone that will treat the customer with respect and therefore you will trust.
Description of Work: Moved into a new property and called Coates to come remove and trim overgrown trees.

Response from Coates Tree Service
The customer is correct. I was amazingly unprofessional in my FINAL dealing with the customer but up to that point communications were professional. The job was originally quoted as $1600 for labor and $100 for dump. Customer questioned the estimator as to how he arrived at the cost. 20 hours of labor were estimated and our labor rate is $80/man hr. including travel. Thru some phone calls etc. it was finally agreed that we would bill as a "Time Job". When the invoice went out, it was for the original quote ($1700 plus tax) as the estimator did not inform the office that the job was changed to a "time job". The moment I discovered this error, I analyzed the job and provided a legitimate adjusted invoice for the job and apologized to the customer for the error. The adjusted invoice was for 5 crew hours for 3 men plus herbicide to kill the tree roots and a dump charge. The amount of the invoice was $1277.25. Apparently, he never read the email I provided with the adjusted invoice. Some time passed and we received another email indicating that my revised invoice was not acceptable because it included travel time in the charges. All of our jobs have travel included whether specified or not. Until the customers are able to bring their trees to our office, we will continue to bill for the time it takes to get to the job. In the end I became exasparated by this customer'[Member Information Removed] nit picking and my final email (the un-professional part) stated: EMAIL: " [Member Name Removed], if you read the time job contract which explains our policy re travel and you read my explanation of how the time was calculated you will clearly see that we DID NOT charge for lunch and in fact we did not charge for 45 minutes of time. Why don't you just send payment for what you think you should pay and we will be done with this and you can stop crying." The customer eventually sent a check to our office for $960.78 a full $316.47 short. He did not include any $ for either the dump costs or the herbicide that was used and even calculated the tax incorrectly. None of the above amounts include any tax as that would just confuse this even more. So in summary: I got tired of a customer'[Member Information Removed] back and forth on what the bill should be and lost my cool.

Mr. Coates showed up promptly and on time for an estimate, and it turned out to be just a bit more than quotes from two other tree companies. I ended up choosing Coates Tree Service because I had heard from many people through the years that they are the best in town. And as it turns out, in my book, those people were right! The morning of the job the crew of three showed up on time in a huge truck with a bucket that could reach over 50 feet high. They went to work right away, as the crew chief explained all sorts of intricacies about the Siberian elm tree, along with offering suggestions about which branches to trim along with the deadwood. They worked straight out for nearly 4 hours taking down some truly awkwardly placed branches (most had to be taken down manually by rope), and were careful to not harm any other plants or property. These guys were pros. The entire experience was seamless and made for a very entertaining day. I'm really glad I went with this tree service! Highly recommended.
Description of Work: Trim three large 50' Elm trees of many dead and unhealthy branches.

Rick, their estimator and arborist, came promptly. There was some miscommunication regarding whether the stump should be removed, so that was not done initially. After another call that was done satisfactorily.

They sent one man to go over the work that I wanted done and to provide and estimate. He was very prompt, and was helpful in making suggestions for work they would do and other things that I might want to do myself. They called twice with possible dates to do the work that were earlier than they originally proposed. The first was not convenient but I agreed to the second. The workers (3) showed up slightly early. They work efficiently and hard, and left my yard very clean.
Description of Work: They cut down 5 trees and removed all debris, and cut out dead brancehes from several more.

I do not know what my neighbor did. I think that he wanted to only collect the insurance money and have his son take away the tree.He was nasty to me and the man sent by Coates who remained calm and pleasant.
Description of Work: My husband lost control of our car and hit a neighbor's tree. My insurance company paid for the car and my neighbor wanted a tree replacement. I called Coate for an estimate. He met the owner but since Coate does not replace trees, just remove them, it did not work out. The driver was very nice and gave me cards for 2 other companies that would be able to do the job. The neighbor was nasty and only wanted the estimate to collect insurance money as his son would do the work. We all have over 2 acres of land and forest pinion trees.

Coates Tree Service gave me the advice I needed and did not charge me for the visit.
Description of Work: I had some questions about removing roots from a Locust tree that were damaging my driveway. They sent their tree expert over who looked at the situation and advised me that the tree would probably be ok with removing some of its roots. He didn't charge me for the visit.
