Description of Work: Cut down Trees

Description of Work: Have used this company in the past. They trimmed & thinned out two trees. They also removed a large dead branch that was overhanging the house. Clean up was good, raked up leaves/sticks even went on roof with blower and cleaned up

Description of Work: Had them remove about four Cypress trees, three Lilock's and grind out the tree stumps. The crew was prompt and did a clean job. The crew cleaned up after the removal and left the yard area cleaner than when they arrived.

Description of Work: I had no problem with regard to the Dorshak brothers or their professionalism in providing an estimate. I only had a problem with the estimate itself. I obtained a total of FOUR estimates from reputable businesses for the specific trimming I wanted done. With regard to the cutting and trimming of the silver maple in my background, Doshak's estimate was $200 over the average estimate of $500. To cut three branches of a box elder hanging over my garage, Dorshak's original estimate was a whopping $450 dollars. Myy neighbor, who was considering splitting the cost with me, complained. Dorshak dropped the price to $375, but said they could go no lower. The other estimates I got for those very same three branches were $275, $250, and $200. The bottom line is that for the total job, Dorshak's estimate was $300 more than the next closest estimate. That difference is just too great for me to have chosen them for the job.

Description of Work: The company does a good job from a work perspective, however their communication needs improvement. I wanted a small tree removed, and received an estimate to do so. I received the estimate late in the day, I did call the very next day after receiving the estimate to schedule the tree removal. I wanted it done as soon as possible because the tree was diseased. The scheduler said all of their regular staff were busy but he would try to contact another crew and would get back to me. That was fine, I waited for a few hours but did hear back from him and had to leave home, I was gone for several hours. When I returned home I was shocked to see the tree gone. First and foremost I had not called diggers hotline (nor did Dorshak), that is very dangerous especially since the tree was only about 15 feet from my house. I also wanted to take pictures of the tree, for various reasons, before it was removed. In addition to these issues I was going to plant another tree there and found out that the stump had to be removed vs just grinding it out. I told the person who gave me the quote I was going to plant another tree there, he should have told me that merely grinding the stump out was not going to allow for me to do so. Because the tree had been removed before the scheduler called me back I was left with a relative small hole and tree roots still intact which would not allow me to plant another tree there. I called Dorshak and expressed how upset I was about this matter and have to say they initially were going to charge me another $50 to come out and make the hole large enough to plant another tree. I did not find that acceptable especially since I had not authorized the final removal thus I did not have the opportunity to discuss how the stump was going to be handled. After more discussion they agreed to come out and rectify the issue for no additional charge - good customer service. They did come back out, however again no one called diggers hotline and I was again not contacted before they just showed up and started enlarging the hole. In the end it worked out but again I think they need to work on communication and even more importantly safety issues. A final point, I am a member of Angie's List and did say so when they gave me the estimate (it is even stated on the top of the estimate) so I should have been given the 10% discount. I paid the $95 estimate I was originally given thinking they might adjust the bill by the 10% discount when they received my check, instead they sent me another invoice for the $4.85 I guess for the taxes but did not allow for the Angie's List discount. Obviously the amount is not a big deal it just rubs me the wrong way because the overall experience with this company was not handled very well. Like I said originally their work is good but their communication is terrible. It seems like no one knows what the other is doing and they are definitely lacking on the safety side (they should most certainly check to make sure someone contacted diggers hotline before they do any work).

Description of Work: I used their online form to request a quote and never heard back.
