After
Raffi S.

I needed a professional, licensed, and bonded tree trimmer to remove two codominant sycamore trees down to the stumps, grind out the stumps, and trim two other sycamore trees on my property. So I did what you're supposed to do and got three bids. Tino (Celestino) came in slightly higher than the highest bid--but I hired him anyway. Here's why. I wanted someone who would take the time to analyze my unique situation. The codominant trees had become dangerous. Thank God there was no damage and no one was hurt, but they were dropping branches and had something seeping from them. One was leaning over my garage; the other was leaning over my driveway. I wanted someone to explain how they would approach the climbing and cutting, what their process would be, and how they would ensure nothing got damaged. Tino did all of that and more. He even warned me that some plants in the area might get damaged, and if anything else was affected--like a drip line or water pipe--they would fix it. He also told me he would have his insurance company send me a Certificate of Insurance with my property address on it for peace of mind. I value promptness and cleanliness. I don't want people on my property who won't respect it. Tino and his crew went above and beyond my expectations. When the job required access to my neighbor's driveway, Tino approached my neighbor and politely requested permission. My awesome neighbor immediately agreed. But this meant a mess would be left behind on both driveways. Without me saying a word, Tino's crew jumped on it--they cleaned up my neighbor's driveway, and when they noticed dust and wood chips on my neighbor's roof, one of the crew members climbed up with blowers and left it spotless. Then he did the same for my roof and cleaned my driveway as well. This was a two-day job. The trees were massive and complicated to cut, requiring them to work piece by piece, saw everything into smaller sections, and carry it all down a long driveway to the dump bin. They covered the driveway with a tarp just in case. They came with eight guys to do the job. When the climber finished, the rest of the crew immediately got to work putting everything back the way it was. During grinding, they broke a pipe coupling--which was expected given how tight the space was--and they went and got the part to fix it. They also replaced a drip line they had to cut before grinding. Both repairs were done perfectly. The place was spotless when they were done. They came back a few days later to trim the other two sycamore trees, which took only a couple of hours. Once again, the property was left immaculate. Here's my advice after this whole experience: hire someone who, when they come out to give you a bid, is professional, personable, and explains the details of what they're going to do. You may encounter people who show up only to see if you'll accept their number. Before fully understanding your needs, they just want to talk broad strokes, throw out a bid, and gauge your reaction. If the owner of the company doesn't show care in the work, imagine the culture among the employees--they'll care even less. I want clear communication, detailed explanations, and a seamless process. You certainly don't want someone to give you a low bid and then stop mid-job to say, "I didn't foresee this issue--that's going to cost another $XXXX." If the bid is done right, it requires the vendor to spend time on your property, talk to you, uncover your needs, and discuss the details. That's exactly what Tino did--with respect and professionalism. Yes, his bid was higher, but it was worth every penny. I got exactly what I wanted, and nothing we discussed was deviated from. So if you have a tree trimming or tree and stump removal need, definitely get bids--but make sure Tino is your last bid. See what he has to say before you decide. See some before and after pictures. Hope this helps. God bless!

Oak Tree

I had an old oak tree in my backyard that needed to come down it was huge close to the house and starting to lean. I called a few places for quotes, and A Cut Above Tree Service stood out right away. Not only was his pricing the best, but he was also honest, professional and responsive. Tino came out personally to give the estimate. He explained the process clearly and made sure I understood every step. My guy clearly knew what he was doing. His crew arrived on time, worked efficiently, and cleaned up everything when they were done no mess left behind. The whole oak tree was down and removed in just a few hours, and they even ground the stump. If you're looking for reliable, fair priced tree work with excellent customer service, I highly recommend Tino and his team. Keep it up Tino you're killing it!

I had called Wall Brothers for a quote on building a non-bearing concrete wall in our garden. Mark…read moreWall ("I was born to be in this business!") showed up at the appointed time to review the job. Came with a colleague from the business, and they reviewed the job together. (PS. Both had masks on!) He promptly furnished a quote (he was the second to bid, and was the middle of the three bids). What convinced me to go with them was this: When they came to review the job, I had a reference sheet from City of Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety...and Mark said that they build to a much higher standard, and described including more rebar than the city requires, etc. He also talked about specifically matching the existing wall. His priorities seemed to match ours. Mark had said that they would be showing up at 7AM on the appointed day, and texted me at 7 to tell me that they would be 10 minutes late. I really appreciated that, as I had recently used a contractor who showed up when they chose to show up. Wall Brothers is clearly client-focused. Mark said that the job would be 3-4 days, and it was done in under 3. New wall matches the existing wall (and it's not a standard concrete block size) well. Crew was friendly and accessible throughout the job. There was a small miscommunication that was quickly corrected without incident, another measure of a good firm. Finally, each day, the crew left the site cleaned up. When the job was completed, one of the crew remained to clean up the site, and other than the new wall, you would not know a construction crew had been here this week! I'm entirely comfortable referring Wall Brothers Construction for their concrete/masonry work, and will certainly be calling them again as needed. Photos attached, plus here is a YouTube video that shows the construction of the job, in two minutes: https://youtu.be/_VwNkG6CFtA

I worked with Jesus from JM Hauling and Demo for our pool backfill project at our home and was…read morevery satisfied with the final work and the competitive pricing. Jesus is knowledgeable about the permitting process and was able to complete the work according to our verbal contract that later I documented. He seemed very busy so it does require proactive communication and proactive documentation of the verbal agreement but when you do you won't be disappointed in the end. He is a straight forward guy and will get the work done. Jesus will be my guy for all demo's in the future. I'm leveraging his services again for our driveway and side yard remodel. I reached out to him and he came the next day and started the work the few days later thankfully as it was a rerouting drain work and we need to start the work fast. Highly recommend him if you have a tight budget and need someone who has the man power to demo and get the work done.

We recently had our pool demoed and I can't recommend this company enough. From the very beginning,…read morethey were extremely responsive and professional. Everything moved smoothly and stayed on schedule--from pulling permits to wrapping up the final details. Jesus in particular was fantastic to work with. He always answered quickly, kept us in the loop, and made the entire process stress-free. Before finding him, we tried working with three other companies, and the difference was night and day. Jesus and his team are light years ahead of the competition in responsiveness, reliability, and quality of work. If you're looking for a pool demo company that truly delivers, this is the one. Don't waste your time elsewhere--you'll be glad you went with them.

It's not easy finding reliable contractors these days, but Mike is someone you can count on.

If you're looking for a dependable general contractor in the Los Angeles area, I highly recommend giving Mike at M2 Operating a call. Great people, quality work, and excellent service!

I specifically asked if they could get the job done within a week time frame and Mike assured me that he could. The only reason I hired m2 was because I knew it would take me longer to get the work done and my wife didn't want to wait. A week later - job was not finished and I was not happy with work that had been done and to make things worse was my refrigerator was damaged at some point. They said the damage was there prior to work beinf started and I didn't want to argue - decided to just move on. Ended ip finishing the aork with the help of a friend. Pros - Mike was easy to get ahold of. Cons - expensive, work wasn't being done on schedule Overall - would not recommend.
