Hitman Tree LLC - Eastside Problem Tree Specialist

They did a very good job and were very efficient. They managed to not damage anything as they took them down and they did a nice clean up after they were done. They were the most competitive in price and I would highly recommend them.

They have online bidding which really speeds up the process. Just measure tree circumference, describe the situation and send a few pictures. Gave a great priced bid, showed up on time, worked rapidly, and cleaned up afterwards. Trees were on a fairly tight lot. These guys take a lot of pride in being able to rig things up to be fast and safe. I'd use them again.

I had two trees that started leaning that would have smashed my house and the neighbors. He came out and braced them, even though he didn't have to and he didn't charge me for it. He braced them, then he came back and took them down. He's really good. He will talk your ear off and he is very fair. He says right up front to go and get three other estimates and he will beat them by 25%. He is good at what he does.

These guys are awesome.

- Fast scheduling: they were able come within 3 days - Punctual: crew of 5 arrived on time and took down the trees quickly - Professional: work went on without incidents despite high wind and light rain - Well equipped: they brought a chipper, a truck to haul the wood - Value add: the crew were polite and were extra thorough in leaving the lawn and yard cleaner than before they arrived, it was spotless as the went through with the blower at least three times and sweeped away even the tiniest of chips. They also took the trunk down to 1-2" from the ground not much stump left. In summary high quality work, great care and unbeatable value.

I submitted a request on their website, but didn't initially hear back. I called on Saturday and talked to Mike on the phone and he stated they could come out that afternoon and do the job. Unfortunately, the job they were on ran over time so they couldn't make it that day. Mike explained the situation and told me he would have his crew out there on Monday to do the job. He said that they could do the job without me there, so that I didn't have to miss work. I left for work on Monday and when I returned the trees were gone and there was a nice stack of logs left by the crew. The crew even called to ask where they should leave the chips and logs.

Actually arrived 10 minutes early, which seems to be unusual for a contractor. Beat the other bid by $1200 and did a great job! His people were friendly and courteous and they did a good job of cleaning up when they were through. We will have them back in the spring to do some more trimming. We have recommended this company to our friends as well.

Great work from start to finish. I got 3 quotes on removing a large maple tree. Mike came out and gave a us very good price. He explained exactly what to expect and he delivered on everything. He was able to do the work two days later. His crew took great care not to disrupt anything in our yard. The cleanup afterward was excellent too. They stacked all the leftover wood neatly on the side of our house and left the yard looking almost better than it looked before they started. I would recommend Mike and his team to anyone looking for tree services.

Mike and his crew did an excellent job removing a large broken branch hanging from a precarious perch. They also selectively trimmed a cedar and three fir trees. All turned out looking great (and I'm very particular)! Hitman's owner and workers were professional, pleasant, hard-working and efficient. They took the time to fully understand my objectives before climbing and cutting. They also consulted with me as the process proceeded, ensuring just the right results (and not taking too many branches). Hitman Tree LLC uses a system that protected my valuable landscaping, and saved time over other systems I have seen. They did an outstanding job cleaning up any debris as well. One little glitch was a late arrival for my initial consultation, but due to understandable circumstances. Overall, great serve and results, coupled with a very competitive price, means Hitman will be the first tree service I call the next time I need one.

5 men arrived at 9:30 and finished around 12:00-12:30. Very professional and efficient. My wife and I were amazed watching them doing their job. And we couldn't believe that all 6 trees in our yards were gone that fast. When the crew left, my front and back yards looked completely clean. Mike is very responsive and easy to work with.

Amazing! The 5-man crew worked like a well-oiled machine. Efficient, fast, professional. A nice, salt-of-the-earth groups of guys. The skill needed to remove our large and tricky Douglas fir (without it costing an arm and a leg) was insurmountable. These guys have it! We received estimates up to $2500 and "emergency" treatment. Mike came in, looked at the problem without the drama (tree had recently been in a windstorm and cracked from ground up approx. 20'), gave me an estimate there on the spot, we set up the appointment there on the spot, and he and his crew were back the next morning @ 8:00 a.m. sharp based on our gentleman's agreement. It took them about 4 hours, exactly as estimated. Great crew - would use again, would recommend to anyone.

I had hired Mike?s company for cutting down a tree. I have nothing but positive things to say about the whole experience. He and his team were very professional. They never complained about any aspect of the work. They thoroughly cleaned up after their work. They maintained positive attitude throughout. I would definitely hire them again in future if a need arises.

Great! They did a good job and it was fun to watch! Amazing how they drop the branches and sections using zip-line.

What a responsive and professional outfit. Mike and his crew were recommended by several neighbors, so I decided to let Hitman bid on this job. Their bid was about half what most of the other 4 companies had bid, so I figured they would take their time scheduling this job. Wrong! Two days after the bid was accepted, they arrived on time, on a SATURDAY morning, and were done in about two hours with full cleanup and no damage despite having to work at the junction of 3 backyards. By using a 'zipline' system to lower all branches and sections of the trunk, even the lawn was unscathed.

We are very happy with the service. The crew and Mike are highly professional. They are section to detail. Performed the job carefully and cleaned up nicely. The cost is significantly lower than other companies while giving us top notch service. Highly recommended!

Once I called (on a Sunday!) he arrived at my door in about 30 minutes. Because I had a tree on the house, he rescheduled someone else so he could do this work the next day. The first contractor's name given to me by the insurance company could not do the work because it was difficult the way the tree fell and to avoid further damage to the house during removal. Mike was all over it and completed both trees the day after calling him. The yard was left cleaner than before they started. Perfect job and a way better price than others. I highly recommend him. He has also worked for quite a few neighbors with similar results. I sure wish all contractor experiences were this good!

From start to finish Mike was professional and easy to work with, I'd gladly recommend him.

No pun intended, but this is a guy who will really go out on a limb to do a top-notch job. We'd hire him again for any tree-trimming project.

Very professional, highly recommended. Experienced with local ordinances; would not start process without first reviewing our permits. It was a great spectacle, worthy of photography yet over in about 2 hours. Several neighbors attended just to watch. Upon completion the crew cleaned up the property (and my neighbor's too) and stacked some of the best wood for distribution to neighbors and friends. I almost wish I had more trees to just hire them again.

We had scheduled to have 2 trees removed in the back yard: one dead one and one live one. They arrived exactly on time, and had all the equipment quickly set up. I elected to help them remove wood scraps from the yard to make the process go faster. They were quick to help me understand how best to work and how to help them out the most. During the middle of the work, I noticed another tree that was dieing, so I asked if they would be able to remove that as well. Within 20 minutes, they had it chopped up and on the ground. They were extremely precise in where they put the trees down, so no damage occured to the bushes in the surrounding area. They were definitely experts. While one guy was setting up, and there wasn't much for the second guy to do, he put on a leaf blower and started clearing up the yard. The yard looked way better when they were all done than it has in a long time. They were definitely of the school of thought of not being paid to just sit around. There was always something for them to do, and they were always doing it. I was extremely pleased with the work they performed, and how much more they did than I expected. All in all, it took about 2 hours and 15 minutes to have the trees felled and cleaned up from the yard.

.Its amazing watching him and his crew work. They are fast. The zip up the tree and cut it in sections that fall to the ground. Then it goes straight into the chipper.

Mike's Motto is "Get 3 bids & call me back" "I'll bet your best bid by 25% and do more". Mike lived by his motto with me. I got only two bids with the lowest being $1900.00. I called Mike and he asked me to describe what work I needed done and said he would do it for $1425.00 plus tax sight unseen. He offered to bring a shreader for no extra charge if I was willing to feed the branches to reduce the amount of clean up. I accepted which later saved me months of clean up work. Mike was scheduled to arrive on a Friday but he was running late on another project when I made contact with him. He asked if it was ok start on Saturday, which I agreed to since the price was so good. He arrive on Saturday at 8:00 AM as agreed and looked over the trees. He pointed out that pine tree was split into three trucks and had to be taken down like individual trees but didn't ask for more money. The neighbor next door asked me if he could take down their 150 foot fir tree while he was there and he agreed to do it for an additional $200 plus tax. He set up the shreader and started climbing. His method of taking down the trees is one branch at a time, zip lining them down to a helper to prevent damage. After the branches were off the trees, he took the tree down by bucking it into 18" pieces one at a time and dropping them to the ground where his helper neatly stacked them out of the way. He is super careful to prevent damage while taking down the trees. The project took 3 days with a delay to due high winds. At the end I had 5 very large stacks of 18" bucked rounds plus 20 to 25 cubic yards of pine needle mulch. Mike is the real deal.
