Company representative came out and provided estimate the day after I called for appointment. Representative examined trees to be removed and pointed out additional dead trees requiring removal. An estimate was provided and work was scheduled for the following week. Crew arrived promptly and completed job in a timely manner. Crew was very careful in the take down of the trees and picked up every bit of debris resulting from the take down and trimming; there was no damage to other trees, shrubs, lawn, etc. All aspects of the work were handled in a professional manner. I was very pleased start to finish.

I called and spoke to one of the owners around 10am. Within twenty minutes he was at my house looking at the tree and giving me an estimate. He came down on his price because he was in the neighborhood and could do the work that same afternoon. It rained that afternoon and he called to re-schedule but around 5 was able to start and complete the work as promised.
Description of Work: I had a rotted limb on an old water oak tree next to my house...the limb was hanging over my roof!

They came out the very next day after I called and gave me an estimate. Since they were in the area we haggled the price down from $650 to $550. The following day they came out and did all the work, very clean and professional job. They followed my instructions to the letter, I would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Trimmed a large oak tree and medium size pecan, and removed one small to medium sized tree. Did not have them grind the stump.

Good. They had a bunch of people working and took the many huge limbs to a chopper they had on their truck that ground up the trees so that the yard was left pretty clean. They did break some plants but my husband told them about it and they tried not to do any more damage.

The came and gave a quote to remove some pines that dies during the drought and trim an oak. The gave me a good price, and after i waivered about getting more quotes they gave me a better price if they could do it the next day. I took them up on it, they came and did the job well, and they said they would send me a receipt in the mail for the work done, that I never received. That is why I rated the professionalism poorly.
Description of Work: Took down three trees, ground the stump, and trimmed another.

The job went well. The crew arrived bright and early on the day following the estimate and began work on the tree. They had to stop in the afternoon due to a rainstorm and came back the next day to finish the job. They were clean and neat and left my yard in good shape. I would use them again.
Description of Work: Specialist Tree Service removed a very large live oak that had been hit by lightning from my front yard. They removed all the limbs and then set about taking down the massive trunk. Once the limbs and trunk were removed, they ground the root system and used the oak chips to mulch all of my flower beds, both in the front and the back yard. While they were here, Specialist Tree Service also trimmed and shaped a pecan tree in my front yard.

Competitive price, prompt service, great cleanup. Henry, the owner, recommended saving one of the live oak trees that I had originally planned to remove. His suggestion worked well - they trimmed the tree (including the canopy) and it now looks great! In addition, when Henry arrived to quote the job, he had his insurance liability paper on hand to give me. The tree cutting crew arrived about a 1/2 hour after Henry gave us the quote (they were already in our neighborhood) and finished up promptly the next day. His crew also used the mulch from the tree cutting and asked us if we wanted the mulch placed in our garden, which they ended up doing for us. I wouldn't hesitate to recommned them to friends and will use them again to trim our trees.
Description of Work: Remove large live oak tree; grind stump Trimmined another large live oak tree, including the canopy. Removed another stump from a smaller tree. Trimmed approx. 5 to 6 other trees on 3 sides of our patio home lot (trees overhanging our roof from neighbor's yards), so the trees didn't hit my roof

Henry, one of the owners, came out at the appointed time and gave me a competitive bid. (Another Angie's List tree service had given me an almost identical bid, but alter talking with Henry, I felt more confident that his crew would do the job right. Also, the other company could not do the job until "late next week".) Henry's crew of 5 came, as scheduled, the next morning and promptly got busy. The crew was well trained and well coordinated. I appreciate that they were careful to cut the limbs properly, to promote rapid healing of the wounds, as I had done myself for 30 years until the tree got too big for me. I appreciate the care they took to protect my property. For example, some of the limbs overhung the roof of my one story home. One man got on the roof to make sure that none of the limbs being cut, by another man in the tree, fell on my roof. He tossed the limbs to the ground without any of them ever touching my roof. He also used a blower to remove all of the sawdust debris from my roof, leaving it spotless. Men on the ground gathered and stacked the limbs in huge piles as they were being cut from the tree. Then, they fed it all into a huge chopper that sent it all into the back of a big truck. After that, they used blowers and rakes to clean all of the debris from my front yard and street in front of my house. In just over an hour they were finished! I couldn't believe they could do so much so fast! My tree looked wonderful and they left my yard cleaner than it was before they came! I am completely satisfied with the quality job that Specialist Tree Service did for me!
Description of Work: They trimmed unnecessary limbs and thinned the canopy of one very large oak tree in my front yard.

Everything was great, I was very pleased. I called them, they came over that day or the next day, which was great considering it was right after Hurricane Ike. They walked through everything with us, then came back a day or two later and cut the trees down. They were quick and efficient. Ran the trees through a gigantic chipper and left me the mulch. I was very happy with their work.
Description of Work: It was after Hurricane Ike. We lost about 30 trees, these guys were great, they came as soon as I called, chopped up the trees and left me the mulch, and helped me document for the insurance company. I was particularly please with how fast they came and how fast they worked.

I probably spent between 300 and 500 dollars. I really didn't have a whole lot of interaction with them. They just came in and did the job. The owner or whoever runs it would call me back. They were very prompt in calling me back and getting it done. They were very professional toward me and my home. I definitely would use them again in the future if needed.

I received a letter from my HOA telling me to trim my trees as they were touching my roof. I called Specialist Tree Service and they went to my house and called me with an estimate within a couple of hours. When I arrived home from work that day a crew of about 6-7 were busy on my trees. They absolutely knew what they were doing and completed the job in a very professional and timely manner. When they were finished they picked up every twig and leaf so that my lawn was completely clean when they left. My trees are beautiful. I will definitely use them again.
Description of Work: They trimmed two mature oak trees in my front yard that had not been professionally trimmed in over 10 years.

They came within a couple of days and they did a great job. The trees look good and they took the dead wood off them. They brought a wood chipper and chipped not only the wood that they trimmed but also the pile of tree limbs stacked in front of the yard. They raked the yard and my yard looked very good compared to other houses. They impressed me. They did a professional job and a complete job.

Specialst Tree Services was performing work in the neighborhood. I found them in Angie's list and their BBB rating. Based on those ratings I gave them a call. As promised the estimator arrived within the hour and gave me an estimate based upon the work I described. The cost seemed about right. They were about to complete work a few blocks away and said they would be able to start my work in about four hours (about 3 pm). I awarded the work. They arrived about 20 minutes later than promised with a crew of five and completed the work in about three hours. Then workers were efficient, very careful of the surroundings, courteous and cleaned the property s*** and span.

I called 3 other companies but Hernan returned my call right away and came over to give me an estimate. He was very persistent and truly wanted to the do the job. The price was much less than we had expected because the tree was very old and big! So, we hired him. He came over with his crew and they had the tree down and disposed of in about 1 hour.

Wow! Specialist was so fast and professional!! They amazed the street with a one of the pines down in 35 minutes! It was a show that even the neighbors enjoyed! They had a 5-7 man crew that had obviously worked for a long time together. They cut, removed and drug all limbs, etc. to the road and then chipped it. They spent 2 hours the first day and the entire day the next. They were prompt, fully insured and did a great job with the difficult tree. They lowered pieces down by rope and didn't damage anything (fence, metal roof, etc.)! Excellent job!
Description of Work: Cut down 2 tall pine trees from the front yard and one very large pine that was between homes and over our home. They also cut back three live oaks off the roof. They removed several shrubs and holly bushes from the front yard and in the interior courtyard. Ground the two stumps in front yard.
