We had a large dead cottonwood tree that was was threatening to fall onto a building, and another partially alive cottonwood that had made gardening extremely frustrating since they send out roots everywhere. Altel Tree Service took down the trees without damaging any building or even other trees. We were very impressed with the work done.
Description of Work: He arrived promptly and did the work we asked very quickly and appropriately, cutting down two cottonwood trees. We are very happy with the service and would recommend this business to anyone in the area needing tree removal. He did not try to convince us to have more work done than we wanted.

Martin told us he would arrive by 8:30am, and despite the fact that it had snowed overnight and a couple of inches of snow was on the ground, they arrived on time and got straight to work. They worked non-stop throughout the day - even when I came out several times to tell them I had hot coffee for them inside, they never stopped working. It rained the second day, but they still came out on time and worked until dark without stopping. We were amazed at how fast they worked, and the accuracy of where the branches and wood fell -- there was a tv cable running through the fir trees, and the oak tree is squeezed between the house and the garage, with a fence right below. We were initially concerned that large branches or heavy wood rounds would smash the rooftops or take down the fence or the cable, but after just a few minutes of watching in awe as the branches and rounds landed safely without damaging anything, we stopped worrying. In a nutshell: Martin knows what he is doing - you can tell that he's been doing this for a long time. His price was right in the ballpark with the other quotes we received, too. We chose this company because they are licensed and bonded, but also because we could tell that this is an honest, hard-working guy who values his reputation, and who takes pride in a job well done. We were very happy with the outcome, and would recommend this company to anyone.
Description of Work: We needed two TALL fir trees removed from our front yard, as well as an oak tree (that had long branches hanging over the roof) trimmed way back. We called Altels and Martin set a time and date that he would stop by to give us a quote. He arrived on time, and did a thorough job of looking at the trees from all angles to figure out the best way to get the job done. He gave us a quote and told us to call if we wanted to schedule the job - no pressure whatsoever. When we called later to schedule the job, we were surprised to find out that he wasn't asking for half payment up front (which we were used to doing whenever we hired for tree services for properties back in Seattle). He said that we could pay him once the job was done to our satisfaction. No written contract - just a handshake...what a rare experience!
