The team arrived in the time window I was given. They were friendly, professional, and highly technically competent. The finished the worked in about a hour. I was very pleased with the speed and quality of work along with the safety they displayed as well as care for my property. This is third time we have used Big Steve's and have been highly satisfied every time, from the initial estimate visit to the completion of the job as well as professional advice.
Description of Work: I had several large tree limbs in my yard, one of which smashed part of a chainlink fence, after a January snowstorm. They need to be removed along with a the remaining tree trunk from one of the limbs.

The Big Steve's team did an excellent job. Very professional. They did exactly what we requested and cleaned the area afterwards. It was easy to get an estimate and they were competitively priced. We would hire them again.

Excellently. Big Steve's Tree Service submitted the lowest of the four bids that our HOA solicited. His crew came out promptly on the day the company had promised. They did the job in a day and left our common area immaculate. That area looks the best it has looked in years. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Big Steve's Tree Service in the future. Highly recommended.

Big Steve's did a second terrific job for us. This time deadwooding an Asian Chestnut, cutting down and grinding the stump of a hemlock, and cutting down a yew. Crew was knowledgeable and worked quickly and neatly. Steve showed up within 24 hours of my request for a proposal, noting they had a backlog of about two weeks. It's understandable that they're in demand. They're my "go to" tree company.

We hired Big Steve to remove more than 5 trees last year from our property. His crew did an amazing job, including cleanup. The big windstorm came through yesterday and Steve came out in the storm and promised he would have his crew at our house today to remove a huge white pine tree from our roof. True to his word, he arrived with a crew of employees and they carefully planned the removal of the tree from the roof. The removal was complicated by the fact that the tree was angled over the deck. The crew patiently extracted the tree. They did a great job and the crew was very professional.

Big Steve's is excellent! Steve, Nora, and their team are quality professionals who appreciate the needs of customers and work hard to meet them. Steve himself came to see what work I needed to be done, and gave a reasonable estimate of $500 (other companies quoted $1,200 - $4,000). Nora then helped to schedule (and re-schedule due to inclement weather); she was responsive and worked with my schedule. The team that came showed up on time, and got the job done well within the estimated time. To me, that's service done with professionalism. Although there was a slight misunderstanding of the nature of the job, I was able to get on the phone with Nora, who then worked with Steve and the team to make sure the job was done to my expectation. To me, this is service with value. More than a month later, the trims on the tree branches all still look nicely done without rotting or holes forming. To me, that's quality service. Thanks!

Big Steve's team was fantastic! They took a lot of care when removing the trees, in particular the large oak that was leaning over my house. The carefully roped off and lowered every piece. They were very careful not to damage my yard or property. They also did a great job of cleaning up afterwards! There was sawdust all over my deck from the cutting, and the crew came with a backpack leave blower and blew all the sawdust off. Big Steve's did great work and were very professional, from beginning to end. I will certainly hire them again. Big Steve's Tree Care was also very responsive to my request for proof of insurance. They promptly emailed the insurance certificate after I asked.

Fabulous! I work crazy hours so it was extremely important for me to conduct business via email. I was able to contact tge company and request an estimate and scheduled the actual job. I did not need to be home when the pruning was conducted. They came in the agreed upon date and cleaned up the yard after their work. Extremely professional.

I'm not going to use them. I chose them for an estimate because of the reviews from Angie's List. He actually showed up early, which I liked. He was professional and very easy to deal with. He didn't take long to give me an estimate. I enjoyed dealing with him. The other company gave me a lower estimate and are able to do what I need in a shorter time frame.

The crew was very good and business like. The climber was very careful In cutting down the dead tree in sections. Each major part was secured by ropes to prevent it from falling on our fence. The crew cut up the dead trees in 2 ft. sections and pushed them back into the woods as agreed
Description of Work: We needed a dead tree cut down that could have fallen on our fence and or house. Also, we needed another dead tree cut up that already had fallen.

Big Steve inspected the site, provided an estimate within hours, and completed the work in 2 days when others estimated 3+ days. The crew was highly professional, avoided the shouting between the climber and the ground crew that other crews seem to rely on, and worked extremely hard and efficiently. The site was left cleaner than it was before the crew started. I would have no problem recommending Big Steve Tree Service to a friend, or anyone else.
Description of Work: We had a 100-ft. tall white oak tree in our backyard that was dying and needed to be removed. The location of the tree required a climber, it could not be reached with a boom, and the limited access required hauling all the logs manually out to the street. Three other tree service companies had looked at the job and either declined the work or did not submit a bid after visiting the site..
