Description of Work: RTEC gave me estimates for tree care. Their representative spent a great amount of time surveying the tress and gave me a really detailed report by email the next day. I thought the prices were rather high so I will get some more estimates I was very impressed---just lacking the money.

Dan called me on August 22 to let me know that he had a crew free from another job and asked if it was OK for them to come to my home to remove the tree early. I said fine. When I got home from work on August 22, the tree was removed and my yard and my neighbor's yard were nice and clean. The job was completely professional. A stump removal crew will be following up to remove the small stump. From start to finish, RTEC and Dan were outstanding in their promptness and responsiveness, whether by phone or email. I am very, very pleased with Dan and RTEC and have already recommended them to my neighbors. I have some other small ornamental trees that need pruning and I intend to contact RTEC next February or March to have them come and do that pruning. I am a very satisfied customer!
Description of Work: An ornamental tree in my back yard finally weakened and split after a late July storm. Part of the tree was resting on my neighbor's fence (no damage to the fence). I contacted RTEC and Dan, the arborist came out to my home on August 7 to look over the job. He gave me a reasonable verbal estimate and within one day I had the PDF estimate to print and review as well as a permission slip for my neighbor to fill out so the crew could go into their yard to remove part of the tree. The original estimate for the work was for August 23 or August 24.

We had major storm damage to our home during an evening wind event in October of last year. Two enormous oak trees fell on our ranch home causing considerable damage and a very dangerous situation. Ben Gotch and his experienced group of tree experts from RTECH came to our home at first daylight with trucks, equipment and their bravery. By the end of the day, our roof was secure and more damage was prevented. By the following day, the damaged roof sections were covered in plywood and tarped. We were very appreciative of their skill and professionalism. We used them again in the winter as we prepared to remodel our home along with the needed repairs. We would highly recommend this company.
Description of Work: Very very large tree removal from the roof of our one level ranch home with the use of cranes and brute strength. Ben Gotch assembled a very experienced team of many many RTECH men to carefully secure our home and remove all of the tree wood which filled many truck loads.

Tree trimming was completed by a team of two climbers and two ground crew within one day in a highly efficient and professional manner. Crew worked competently and with a minimum of shouting and noise that seems to characterize many tree service companies. In this area, there are many companies to choose from if you just want a tree taken down or limb removed. However, if you are interested in keeping your trees healthy and reasonably safe from causing storm damage, RTEC is highly recommended. All work is specified and supervised by a registered arborist and focuses more on maintaining and saving trees rather than just chopping them down.
Description of Work: Primary service provided was light to medium pruning (3" or smaller limbs) of four 100 ft. oak trees. Because of the proximity of two of the trees to the house utility line, work required coordinating with the power company to disconnect service and lower the utility connection. All work with power company was arranged by RTEC and the work was completed without delays and with a minimum of time for the power outage. Debris from tree trimming was completely cleaned up and grounds were left in original condition. Other services performed by RTEC included testing the root area of a large tree with some signs of possible damage or rot, and root feeding of all four trees. All work was completed promptly with a minimum of disruption and hassle.

The reason I decided to work with them was because they seemed to be more concerned about preserving my trees rather than just taking them down. In the past they had taken down some trees for me, but this time just the fertilizing. I will definitely use them again in the future.

The company was extremely professional and quite knowledgable in its field. I had called several other companies for estimates and they either never responded or the estimates were quite high. RTEC responded immediately to my inquiry, the estimate was reasonable and professionally presented, and the service was above and beyond expectations
Description of Work: We had a tree limb that was hanging over the roof trimmed and cut up into fire wood as well as another tree cut down.

The first time I scheduled a guy to come give an estimate, he called several times throughout the day to say he was running late (I was scheduled for the end of the day) and then he finally called to reschedule for another day. I understand bad traffic happens sometimes, and he had been so conscientious in calling me about it. They waived the estimate fee when he did come out the next week. The estimate took about 10 minutes. It was higher than I expected, but I have since learned that tree service is expensive no matter where you go. I was going on some extended travel, and they were able to schedule the work over email. When I returned home, the work had been done. The bill arrived in the mail a few days later. They have been EXCELLENT at prompt and courteous communication throughout; if I could give them a A+++++ for that I would.
Description of Work: They removed several large low branches from a tall oak tree in my front yard, and also removed dead branches from throughout the tree, including some that were quite high. They also applied a growth serum to the tree.

When the estimater came out, he spent a lot of time going over the work that I wanted to have done. He gave me a list of options. I had one tree in particular that needed a lot of work done. My neighbor was very concerned. The estimater did a very good job of discussing options, including saving the tree. Other companies gave me options, but not as many. Their prices were very reasonable as well.
Description of Work: They removed four dead trees. They heavily pruned two trees. There was some stunk grinding done as well.

Bottom line, had to ask for another representative. The first guy was TOTALLY unresponsive, rude, and not completely honest. When I was finally able to speak to the owner, he gave me the "miscommunication" explanation. There was none. If you're having extensive work done, I would look elsewhere first. With the amount they charge the service doesn't compare.

They have done work for me in the past. They are good but they are high end, so a little too expensive for my taste. They pretty much do everything from pruning and cutting, to fertilizing your trees.

Did not engage this firm.
Description of Work: Asked for a competitive estimate via their website. Firm came back asking for a payment for it to do an estimate. Did not go any further, as charging for tree care estimates is not the norm in the industry. Gave work to two other firms instead.

RTEC called that afternoon, said the weather was good the following day and they would bring a crew over to prune the silver maple in the backyard. I returned home early - around 3pm and the crew was still hard at work. They finished cleaning up around 4:30, tree looks fantastic, yard looks like they were never there. I'll have them return in the spring to prune my sweet gum.
Description of Work: Called to get an estimate on maintenance pruning of two very old large trees on my property both 60' tall, one a silver maple hanging branches over my house, the other a sweet gum, also huge. The arborist Jim came out on the morning I requested, surveyed the trees, gave me 2 quotes, one for each. I decided to have one done to see how they did.

We've used them a number of times before and have been happy with the work. They've done both tree trimming and bio stimulants. This a very environmentally conscious company. They also clean up well after themselves. They showed up when they said they would. Their prices may be a little more than the average, but the work is so well done that the price is worth it.
