this provider is AWFUL! I would NEVER recommend!! After numerous attempts to reach Brian via his cell number, he would eventually call back and plan a day to come out and trim my one tree. Three times he gave me a day, I rearranged my schedule to be there and he wouldn't show, no call and no show. The third time I called to verify that he was coming later in the afternoon, I left a message on his cell in the morning as my daughter had to take off of work to be at home when he came, I left a message on his cell to call me back to verify. Again, no call and no show. VERY UNRELIABLE! I have heard this about him from other sources but decided to see for myself, what a mistake. HES A FAIL!

I wish I could report that he came and did excellent work, but he never returned our calls and never showed up.
Description of Work: I called Brian T. Kath Tree Service in August to hire him to trim two trees in our front yard. After about a week I got a return call, in which he told me he wouldn't be able to get to us for a couple of weeks, which was fine with us. The week he said he'd be here was three weeks ago. He didn't come, didn't call, and subsequent messages we have left asking if he's still planning to trim our trees, if we're on his schedule at all, have been unreturned. I'm looking for someone else now. I understand this is a busy time of year, but how long would it take him to call us back and let us know what's going on?

We contacted Brian T Kath at the referral of our neighbor who also used him for tree removal. I called and left a message with Brian and he got back to me shortly after. He came to our house and did a quick inspection of the tree and gave me the price for tree removal and a price for stump grinding. I was happy with the quote and accepted the offer. Brian gave me a date for the tree removal and a separate date for the stump grinding. The project was delayed because of weather. When Brian did come to cut our tree down, it took him very little time. He came a week later to grind the stump out. Brian cleaned up after completing the work each day. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs tree removal.

I called the vendor to make an appointment for an estimate for the work. He was there within a short time to give me the firm price for the work to be performed. We shook hands on the and quot;unwritten contractand quot; and agreed on a date to do the work. They arrived on time and finished the extensive branch and bough trimming in ample time. One man in the tree and 2 men on the ground disposing of the cuttings. When finished with the tree trimming they cleaned up the yard of fallen leaves and other debris. They were very careful when cutting limbs extending over the roof on my home to make sure that the heavy limbs didn't fall onto the roof and cause damage to it The boughs and branches were taken to the street where they had a chopper waiting to dispose of the wood. Everything was done in a very professional and efficient manner. I've had other tree trimmers perform services in previous years but they were no comparison to the efficient manner in which the Kath firm performed. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone needing this type of service and I will definitely use them again.
Description of Work: I engaged this firm to do some extensive tree trimming which involved cutting some 4" to 6" boughs at quite a height. This firm doesn't use any cumbersome bucket trucks to dig up your lawn.
