JOHN RAMALHO TREE SERVICE

Description of Work: The company cut down a lot of overgrown tree branches, took down a small tree and took out a dead shrub. I thought the cost was too high. I was able to negotiate it down somewhat but still I thought the service was overpriced. But two other tree companies didn't even bother to show up. |Mr. Ramalho is probably the rudest and most dismissive person I ever met. He showed up to the work without calling me the day before. And I when I noted that he mocked me by holding his hand up and quickly tapping his fingers together and told me I talked too much. When I told him that he cut a limb from a neighbors tree when he was instructed to cut only the overhanging branches he told me not to worry about it because he knew the home owner. I have never ever, dealt with a business owner who was ill- mannered and I hope I never will again.

Description of Work: A very large lower limb on my beautiful 85 year old pine tree snapped off and was hanging over my driveway. I called John Ramalho after he was referred to me by Atlantic Nursery (one of the finest nurseries on Long Island). He arrived almost immediately to inspect the damage and give me an estimate. The work was completed promptly in a competent and professional manner (his son did the cutting but John, the father, was present and supervising) and a third man who cleaned everything up. No damage to other lower tree limbs(which I wanted to save), lawn or shrubs under the pine. They ground up the limb into chips and cleaned up after their work. They had two large trucks with them (He told me he has seven trucks in all.) He also told me he has been doing this work for many, many years.
