Chads Tree Service

He was very reasonable, open and honest. He showed up when he said he would and provided a clear and accurate bid and also provided expert guidance. I didn't go with his bid because another company had some machinery I thought was necessary, but I wouldn't hesitate to use him in the future.

This is the 2nd time I used Chad's Tree Service and again he did not finish the job. He originally was supposed to remove two trees with their stumps on the 19th of October, 2013. He came by once and removed the smaller tree and the branches from the bigger tree. He was also supposed to stack the branches on the edge of my lawn for the locally provided free chipper service as well as stack the wood in the back of my house which he promised to complete since I have back problems. He only stacked half of the branches and half of the wood. On the 14th of March, 2014 he returned and removed the remainder of the trunk of the large tree; however the stumps have not yet been removed. He apologized for not returning my calls and that he had been busy with family issues. He also promised me a good deal if I would hire him again to remove three medium sized trees on the front of my yard with all stumps and stacking the branches and the wood again. I agreed to give him half of the cost (he appeared disappointed) and then had to leave to pick up my son from Madison college. When I returned later that day, Chad had cut off some of the branches off the trees in the front but had not stacked the branches. Since then, he has not returned to complete either the first or the second job. I would not recommend this company to anyone.

The service was horrible. Chad first $700.00 to remove 1 large and one small tree on October 19, 2013. He cut down the 1 small tree and the branches from the large tree and left the job unfinished. He said that he would be back in a couple weeks to finish the job and 4 weeks later he still had now shown up. I called him on 3 separate occasions and left him voice mail messages but he never returned my calls. Then out of the blue he showed up again on March 14, 2014 offering no other explanation then his DAUGHTER recently had a baby and that he had been busy. I personally believe that he was in jail since after not returning my calls, I performed a records check on the Wisconsin Access Circuit Court database (free) http://wcca.wicourts.gov/index.xsl which revealed he had a long criminal history including domestic abuse, multiple failures to return rental equipment, disturbing the peace and numerous foreclosure/failure to pay rent charges on his record. When he returned on March 14th, he finished cutting down the large tree but left the stumps. Like a fool, since I felt sorry for him, I rehired him to cut down the 3 medium trees in my front yard. He asked for full payment but I gave him half ($350). I noticed that he managed to cut a few of the lower branches off on the trees but has not returned to finish the job as of May 26, 2014. He also left large pieces of wood in my yard and quite a few of the branches. I ended up having to stack up the wood (with an injured back) and pile the branches to be removed by the Village I live in which is a free service. Horrible service, terrible lack of response communication, and failure to complete the job. DO NOT HIRE THIS PERSON!!! (CHAD THOMPSON - CHADS TREE REMOVAL SERVICE).
