Crew did the job quickly and efficiently and cleaned up great.
Description of Work: Had Big Steve's over to remove a large tree limb. Had to be taken down in parts and in a controlled fashion so that it wouldn't come down on a fenced-in vegetable garden underneath.

They were very responsive. They came over and provided a free estimate. It was very easy to work with them. I didn't have to be home for them to do the work. They honored the estimate which I liked. I even referred them to someone else.

As usual Steve, came over and gave me a written quote 1 day after I called. I called him back to schedule and the work was done 3 days later. It is a pleasure to do business with this company. They do a great job, the prices are very comptetitve and he is really responsive. Will use them again in the future.

I was comfortable with having Big Steve's perform the work without me being home. Neighbor's report the company quickly removed tree and spent most time grinding stump and (numerous) ground roots. As lawn is set to be re-sod, removing ground roots was critical. Came home to find tree gone, and stump hole filled with dirt. Fast, efficient. No complaints!
Description of Work: Cut down medium sized sugar maple tree, grind stump and ground roots, remove grindings.

I had a tree with a lot of limbs encroaching on the house. Steve came to the house and provided an estimate for the removal of the limbs. He was able to schedule the work within a few business days. The very professional and capable crew, headed by Julio, arrived a little earlier than the schedled time and the work was completed within an hour. All final pruning cuts were done correctly, with proper care shown for both the appearance and the health of the tree. The crew was very careful to avoid damaging the screening on an upper-level porch that was right next the the offending limbs. They were also careful of other plantings that I asked them to avoid. They removed all debris, and when they were finished they even cleaned up the sawdust that had fallen on the deck. Every member of the crew was personable and professional -- a pleasure to work with!

N/A No actual work performed; we only received an estimate.
Description of Work: We received an estimate from Steve of Big Steve's Tree Care. Steve arrived right on time for the estimate and was very professional and helpful. He was able to make some good suggestions to help us decide what work really needed to be done. Though we did not have Steve perform the tree removal service, if we ever have more tree work to be done, we would definitely get estimates again from Big Steve's Tree Care.

Excellent. They came on time, cleaned up every branch, did not damage ANY of the surrounding trees and shrubs, were very professional and responsive to my questions, and were overall a great crew! The old maple was 24" in diameter, a big tree, and they took it down without any problems. I would recommend to everyone and I will hire again when I need more tree work.

Big Steve's was very responsive to my initial call for an estimate. He promptly came to our house when he said he would and gave us a very reasonable price quote for removing four trees, including stump grinding. We requested multiple quotes and were surprised to find that Big Steve's was the cheapest. After researching about their quality of work on Angies List, we decided to go with Big Steve's. On the day of the service, the crew came promptly. They started the work and very systematically removed the four trees. They did not bring any cranes, but had men climb the trees one by one and cut the branches out. I was surprised how methodical they were in taking the trees down. They completed the job the same day without any problems. We made the payment the same day and no issues there either.

Contacted them to submit bid, from list of other tree removal companies, was lowest bid. Told them to go ahead and remove tree, scheduled time and date. They arrived on time and removed tree trunk very quickly and without any fuss or mess. In fact we were in a hurry and they were working in the neighborhood and stopped what they were doing, came over removed the tree, and then went back to what they were doing. It was quick. WOW! They came back on a separate day to do the the stump removal.
Description of Work: Removed Cherry tree that was too close to our townhouse's foundation, so as to prevent roots damaging foundation. Simple task with excellent execution. They cut down the tree and came back on a different day to do the stump and root grinding approximately 4 days later. Everything was done to our needs.

They did not show up for their appointment on time. When I called them they sent someone right away. When they arrived 40 minutes later they did a great job, but when I mentioned that my neighbor's limb was reaching into my lawn he said it would be $200 more. I had okayed this with my neighbor beforehand. I ended up not using them to remove the tree branch. It was too costly especially since they already had their equipment there already it would not have taken very long. Now I am looking into hiring a new company who will remove the branch less inexpensively.

Response from Big Steve's Tree Care
We had the member on the schedule for Wednesday at 9am. When he called at 9:45 on Tuesday we were surprised. We pulled a crew of a job in Mt Vernon and arrived at his house in falls church 40 minutes later. We explained the situation and apologized for the mix up. The reason for the pricing was because the tree was located 12 inches from 3 main power lines. Anytime we encounter power lines we have to be extra careful and it always takes twice as long. The only thing we emphasize more than customer service is safety. As always we thank you for your business.

The process all through from providing an estimate, to sceduling the work and then follow up was all smooth. The trees looked great, the team was very quick and efficient and cleaned up the debris. Happily recommend them for any tree work and will definitely consider using them in future.
Description of Work: Steve and his crew did some pruning /thining and tree shaping work in July, just before winter, and some follow up work recently. I must say we were delighted with the responsiveness of the team all through the process. They did a good job and given some of the windy days through this last winter season, i am glad our trees and home made it through without any issues.

His team came out less than a week later, spent the full day removing all of our trees and stumps. His crew was unbelievably professional and clean. They cleaned up the back yard meaning not only removing the trees but the branches and leaves that fell as a result of the tree removal. It was the most pleasant experience and I would hire them again.
Description of Work: We phoned Steve and he came out the next morning. He provided an estimate to remove 9 pine trees, 1 dead tree, and two small trees. We also requested stump removal for all of the trees and a few other stumps that were in our back yard.

I phoned Big Steve's for an estimate to trim back five Bartlett pear trees and a couple of other trees in our yard. He made an appointment for a day or two later and showed up precisely on time. He was very thorough and explained exactly what I should expect with these types of trees. We chose to use another company only because we are having a problem with an apple tree and felt we needed an arborist to help save this tree.

Crew arrived on site on time. Crew leader did not have a copy of the statement of work , had to give him my copy and walk him through the job. I expect for the price paid, the supervisor (Big Steve) should have been on site from the start and walked the job with his crew leader. The supervisor showed up about mid morning and did not even get out of his truck.Luckily i had taken the day off and was able to catch some missed limbs by the crew.The supervisor of this company needs to get out of his truck an give the job the supervision the customer has paid for.

Response from Big Steve's Tree Care
These comments are kind of surprising since the customer told me everything look great when we where there if he had a problem I wish he would have told me when I was there and we could have addressed them then. I asked him to be there because he was having a considerate amount of work being done. That way he could make sure he got exactly what he wanted. I can not be at every job a 100% of the time. I have lots of customers and have to give everyone equal attention. My crew has a combined total of 40yrs experience. They can handle anything that comes along. The foreman julio went out of his way to relocate a family of squirrels at the customers request also. I also was on my way to the job to show the guys what to do when the foreman told me that the customer was going to show him. Again I wish the customer would have voiced any concerns he had on the day of the work and we could have addressed them then. As always we appreciate the criticism great or ok. Thank you.

Very professional and definitely got a full chord. Unfortunately the wood was not ready to burn. It was not fully seasoned as promised. So, it will have to sit until next year until it will burn well. Too bad. Otherwise a good experience.

What ever happened to the days where if you had a problem with or an opinion about work you had done you actually called the company and talked to someone about it? It seems like these days customers them selves are in to much of a hurry to get work completed to let the company's there working with rectify there problems or concerns. If this customer was not satisfied with the firewood we can refund there $ or try to help fix any problems they are having. Customer satisfaction is and always will be a top priority for us!

See above - Outstanding work.
Description of Work: We had a large oak tree removed from in front of our town home that had outgrown the location and was pushing up the sidewalk. Steve run's the company with a professionalism seldom seen. He provided me a detailed estimate and explained exactly what he was going to do. On tree removal day, his team showed up, removed the tree, ground the stump down below ground level, removed all debris from the tree, covered the area with new mulch, and left the street and associated area cleaner than they found it. We live in a very discerning neighborhood and all of the neighbors were pleased with the work. I received four estimates ranging from $1400.00 to $3000.00. Steve's was the most detailed. He brought in a large crain to help remove the top branches and lift the large portions into a truck for removal. His team came dressed in uniform and were most professional the entire time. Steve supervised every aspect of the job and was present from start to finish. I would hire Big Steve's Tree Service again and have recommended them to our Home Owners Association.
