Ray Mcelfish Tree Specialists

There's more than one company using McElfish name. Steer clear of Ray McElfish Tree Specialists. It isn't the reputable business I dealt with twenty years ago. Ray McElfish was in charge of the outfit I used previously. This time I dealt with Shannon Sullivan of Ray McElfish Tree Specialists'. She signed the contract to remove two trees in October 2018. She's a liar and a cheat. Without going into detail, with my check in hand Sullivan ran to Money Tree. Meanwhile, her workers packed up and left the job unfinished. That's not the worst of it. After the fact, I discovered company was operating illegally and fraudulently . Washington State Labor & Industries requires companies to be licensed and bonded. The Labor & Industries license she used, RAYMCMT870JQ, expired in 2017. Go to L&I, [*** Link removed ***] to verify aforementioned. As an aside, this is a very helpful site if you are thinking of hiring a contractor. To sum up, be sure to thoroughly vet before you hire. Even if you thought you used them successfully many years prior. Also of note, the license number TREESI*035JC found on website, [*** Link removed ***] expire P.S. Filed complaint with several agencies. L&I issues fines. Received no response from IRS. None is expected. BBB complaint is enclosed.

I would not use anybody else. They are certified and registered. They do excellent work. I like everything about them. They are punctual, thorough. The price is reasonable. My neighbours are using them now. They clean up after themselves. They don't do any damage when they are dropping trees. They are cheaper than the average. I last used them 2 or 3 years ago. I don't recall the price.
