Tree Masters, Inc.

I had an overall great experience with Tree Masters from scheduling an estimate with the friendly staff, to the professional crew that came out to perform the work.

The crew arrived prepped and ready. They were fast and courteous and respectful of all the obstacles they had to work around. The tree was big and had a heavy lean towards our neighbor, and had a bad crack in a “Y” section that was only another ice storm from disaster. We were impressed with a decent Estimate for the work and the speediness of getting scheduled for the work too! The office manager was helpful and understood what I was asking about and the Arborist was very knowledgeable. The guy that climbed the tree, slung himself in safely and then cut everything was very careful to not cause damage to anything nearby! They also even swept-up the patio and pathway before leaving! Our neighbor was impressed enough that he hired them for some extensive work that he needed done in his yard! Very impressed and extremely thankful we hired them instead of trying to tackle the task on our own! A very tough job that was finished SAFELY in one day! Thankyou! 🤩

Great!!! Very reliable and economical!

These guys really were tree *masters*! The Hawthorns had sprawled in every direction. Steve and Nick lifted and shaped their profiles, thinned them to give the canopy more air and light. It was a pleasure to watch their craftsmanship. They also advised me about getting the cable company to move a wire that had become wound in among the branches. This crew was quick and truly skilled. -Steve E., Portland

Excellent work, done quickly, great price.

Outstanding results. I don't usually bother with reviews because they're subjective but I have no doubt the professional manner he handled the job last year will be consistent today.

From start to finish Tree Masters provided fantastic service. Setting the appointments was quick and easy, the initial review of the trees was done within a day or two of calling, and Matt and his team came out just a few days later and did excellent work. There was great customer service every step of the way and the results were excellent. It was very budget friendly too. I appreciated the work but also the info and advice Matt shared about caring for the trees and his ideas on our options for other trees in our yard. I've already recommended Tree Masters to others.

Tom and his team were EXCELLENT. They came by for a quick bid while I wasn't home, emailed their quote within 24 hours and called to walk me through it. After getting another quote that was close to 10K and recommended to basically remove all the trees off our property, we were thrilled to see Tom's bid come in way lower and with no recommendation to remove all the beautiful trees on our property. When we scheduled and his team came out, they walked through everything with me again, made sure everything was trimmed safely away from our roof and even helped pull some extra branches from our side that were hanging into our neighbors. Their quote was fair for a TON of work removing deadwood and branches on at least 8 trees in our yard, and we will continue to use them for all of our future tree needs.

Very smoothly. Tom came out 10/28/19 evaluated and gave me a bid. We agreed that mid-Nov. to mid-Dec. would be the best time. He called the morning he decided to come. Then he came out and did the work, showed us what he was doing and why, completed the work, cleaned up and left

Excellent job by Tree Masters on my large American Elm street tree. It's a tree I love to hate...except on hot days in the summer when it keeps my house relatively cool. I think I get more leaves to clean up in the fall than anyone else in the neighborhood. The tree needed substantial trimming on overgrown and low-hanging branches over the house and drive way. I liked that no crane was needed. There was one climber and one man on the ground. The price was reasonable and the clean-up afterwards was good.

Tom Burke and his team were excellent. Not only did they trim the trees for the price quoted when the trees were bare in winter, but when a few dead limbs remained after the trees leafed out, they came back and took them out with no extra charge. I would always use Tree Masters for my tree trimming. They crew is knowledgable and hard working and they clean everything up to perfection.

The job was done when they said it would be done. All the debris was hauled away neatly.

Tree Masters did an excellent job. They showed up on time, did a great job on trimming large limbs that were hanging over the house and cleaned up the job site. Tom knows his profession and his crew were great. Highly recommend his company. Bob S

My call for service was answered by a very friendly and responsive representative. The next day, the owner, Thomas Burke, came to find out about my job. I told him I was concerned about branches of two very tall trees falling in a wind storm. One tree was between my house and the neighbors the other tree was down by the pubic sidewalk. Mr. Burke assessed the situation and said the trees were healthy, but pointed out some large branches that he recommended removing. (4 limbs on one tree and a large section at the fork of the other tree). Mr. Burke was very friendly as well and took time to answer all my questions. He made me feel that my job was important. He gave me a bid at that time and told me I can have the Angie's list 5% discount off of the quote. We scheduled the date. Promptly in the morning Mr. Burke and his crew arrived. One man climbed each tree. There were also men on the ground who helped. They worked efficiently and very carefully. This was very important as there were electric wires, parked cars and our homes to watch out for. When the men were finished (took only a couple of hours), they removed the branches and cleaned up very nicely.

It went so well, one of the trees taken down was dead and in the middle of my wood deck located in the middle of a grove of trees. That tree was taken down using block and tackle with out damaging my deck. All trees were taken down in pieces. No damage was done to any shrubs in my yard. The yard was cleaned up to the point it looked better then before they arrived. They were on time, were professional, worked well together. My husband and I thought they were awesome. It was amazing to watch the crew at work. my husband and I spent the whole time they were working watching them. We will have them back if we need further tree service. For the amount of work they did, the price was certainly fair.

Within one day of the initial phone call Tom came out and provided me with a very reasonable bid on the spot. Tom told me that his jobs usually run about a week out. The following morning I left a message that I wanted to accept the bid and engage the company's services. Early the next morning Tom called and told me he could have a cred to my house at about 1100. They actually arrived at 1000 and got right to work. The crew was very efficient, safe, polite and when they left, aside from the one tree removed and the other pruned, it was like they were never there. They did a great job on the site cleanup and I really couldn't have been happier with the work. I highly recommend them and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

I really enjoyed working with Tom. I was impressed with his knowledge about my trees, especially as we had recently moved in and needed to get some work on some trees that had been neglected. He gave me a lot of information about a maple that was not doing well in areas, and I felt confident in his expertise that his work on the tree would help it hopefully regain its health in the future. I had another estimate from another company later that was also ok, but I ended up having to give them "hints" as to the problems with this tree that they didn't catch right away like Tom did. He was able to schedule me relatively quickly, and I just gave him a B on punctuality because he arrived an hour later than he had said, but it wasn't a problem for me. After talking me through all the other trees on my property, he actually came and removed a few small trees planted by squirrels that were on my water line for no charge, he reused one for another job and also chipped all my fallen branches that were on the side of my house as well. Great service, have already recommended him to friends!

I called Tree Masters on the recommendation of good friends. I left a message, and received a call back within hours. Tom Burke was able to come out the very next day (Friday) to give me an estimate. He offered a great price and I gladly accepted. He said his crew would arrive at 8:00 on Monday morning. Sure enough a friendly crew arrived right on time and set to work. They worked hard for about six hours, making our yard look like a different place. It would have taken us weeks to accomplish what they did so efficiently. I am now recommending them to family and friends, and will definitely be calling them back in the spring for more trimming and shaping.

Very satisfied with punctuality, quality, and professionalism. Tom Burke came on site to discuss job details and gave me a written estimate, just a day after first calling them. The estimate was very reasonable. The next day, the 3 man crew came out to do the work: 2 hrs + 1 hr cleanup (very neat). The communication of job details to crew was very smooth, and they were conscientious to understand exactly what i wanted: they handled job details very well. This was a very good contractor experience, and I would heartily recommend them to others.

excellent service, done on time and a reasonable price

..took off suckers, thinned, removed dead wood.

The owner, Tom Burke, is great to work with. He is flexible, within reason, with timing issues. I had to hurry to get one tree trimmed back from the roof, and wait for city permits and inspections on the other tree, and he accommodated my needs. His men are great workers too. They are very efficient workers, clean up after the job is done, and are polite and friendly. Overall, I am extremely happy with this company and will be calling them again for work on my other trees.

The two brothers team were on time within the two hour window they gave me. Tom was the leader of this team and had seen what was to be done when he visited me to do the estimate. When they arrived they already had a plan on how to do the work so they started as soon as they got out of there truck. The whole job was done faster that anyone else I have used over the past few years and the follow up cleanup was done as the job progressed so they were finished within a two hour window. I highly recommend Tree Masters for anyone that expects quality work, a fair price and great service. Les Natzel Milwaukie Oregon

I contacted him (Tom Burke of Tree Masters) because I erroneously thought he was Tom Bartels of Master Tree Care, who I intended to hire. My husband didn't recognize it was the wrong person and gave the green light to the wrong Tom (Tom Burke), who is not an arborist. (Tom Bartels is an arborist and does excellent work, by the way.) I was not pleased with the shape of the tree after he was finished (too many large branches were removed) and there was still a lot of little dead wood left in the tree, which became a problem two years later. I had to hire the correct Tom this fall to have it removed properly. I will say that this Tom (Burke) was punctual and professional. His price was very low. One of the larger branches chipped the corner of a brick grill structure as it fell to the ground, which he did pay to repair. If I were just to have work done around the yard, I would hire him but I will never ask him to work on my trees again. I'm mad at myself for choosing the wrong contractor. I wish their names weren't so similar. But now I know!

When I called for a bid, Tree Masters was able to come out in less than a week. The representative I met with was clear, personable, and suggested cost cutting ideas for me. We broke the desired work up into two portions: the "needs to be done right now" and the "Let's do that in March" portion. During this phase, they cut three limbs from a very large coniferous tree (I am a bit ashamed to admit I don't know exactly what kind of tree it is). These branches were large, and creaking excessively.....one was right above my roof and the other two were close enough to the busy road by my house, that I worried they would fall onto the roadway in a heavy windstorm or snowfall. I would say that these branches were 30 to 40 feet high. I also have hedges that abut the heavy road and laurels that were growing into my neighbors driveway. They cleaned all of these up. They were right on time, pleasant, efficient, hard workers and cleaned up after themselves. Bonus: they cut the large branches up into firewood for me. This was one of the more pleasant contractor experiences I have had and am looking forward to working with them in the sping.
