Verrazano Tree Service, Inc.

They were prompt and did a pretty good job.

I contacted their office and they told me the owner would be out the next day. He called me around 1 pm and said he would be at my home within a half an hour. He showed up at 6pm when I was sitting down to dinner. He quoted me a very high price and when I said he wasnt in the ball park he dropped his price by 25%. When I asked about his insurance he told me that He had liablity and no workers comp because he did not need it. He said our written agreement would cover if his workers sued. . He told me I needed an arborist letter to cut my tree down (on my property). When I called my friend at the Parks Department he said that was not true. Dont use this guy.

Nelson and his crew did a really good job pruning my trees. They cleaned up what they took down and I am happy with their work.

They did okay with the removal of the tree, but the tree trimming was fair. I told them not to do as much as they did; they took a lot more out of the tree than I wanted taken at that time. Their price and responsiveness were good. I would possibly use them again in the future.

They did a good job and were very good about cleaning up after themselves (and in the process they did some extra cleaning up of my yard as well). Their sales guy was a bit pushy and called me to follow up after the initial estimate many more times than necessary, but each time he lowered the price so I can't complain too much. The initial estimate was $900 but he eventually lowered it to $500 without much negotiation on my part. I had gotten one other estimate for the same job from a different company and it came to $850.
