The workers were professional and got the work done quickly. We had four tall cypress trees removed, and they cut them all down plus shaved down the stumps and hauled away the cut trees. We were happy with the work they did. Thanks!

While he was…read moregenerally responsive and made lots of promises, he misrepresented himself as an arborist when I needed one for tree root pruning around a sidewalk permit with the City of Oakland. Alejandro only told the truth after we had gathered a big 10-person crew of my general contractor's team, the city inspector and whole concrete team ready to pour the sidewalk. With all these men looking to him for approval as the arborist, he buckled and admitted he wasn't a "certified arborist" but a "licensed arborist." We were all dumbfounded. This colossal waste of time cost me several thousand dollars more from a two week delay and extra man hours over Xmas, when Alejandro left a big safety hazard of sharp nails, overturned plywood, and a mess of wood chips on the sidewalk that another crew had to manage when he was a no-show on the cleaning part. At least he did actually prune the roots after he found a real "certified arborist" to replace him. He did cut back the tree branches just fine. But If you need anything more official than a tree haircut, I don't recommend you choose Alejandro.

I can't say enough good things about Luis (crew manager), Jonathan & Juan the project managers. All around so thorough , responsive & good people. We received 2 quotes to remove a large leaning sequoia in our yard. Searching for my final quote I saw Luis & team pruning my neighbors large tree. I asked if he could quote us & he walked right over with a very reasonable quote on the spot. We quickly exchanged info, got scheduled w project completion in 2 weeks. They were responsive to all my questions & took down our giant tree in under 4 hours. They were efficient & respectful of our space. Can't wait to refer JMV to everyone I know!

However, this morning, I find myself meeting a team member from JMV Tree Service, who is a licensed arborist and very professional, and I asked him if he could remove a few trees for me. He said yes and once he saw the project and its scope, he told me he could complete the project in a few hours. Then about 30 minutes later, he sent a crew. (It's all in the timing)!! To my amazement, they removed all of it while I was at work and they did such a fantastic job. I wish I did it months ago because this tree has been bothering me and dropping things in my backyard and it was driving me crazy. Absolutely bonkers... so much so, I bought a leaf blower because this tree was making such a mass every day on the deck. And in just a couple hours and for a very fair price, Jonathan and his team at JMV Tree Service did a fine job and made it very easy for me. Yes, I will keep them in my contacts for help with my trees in the future. I'm glad my neighbor introduced us and I am very grateful because they know their stuff and they did a great job. On time ... and on budget. So easy, Yay!

    We had Jose from Vega's Tree Service out to look at some dying hedges and chose to have them plant…read morereplacements. Jose and his crew did a good job. Based on that job, we had Jose come back to price planting of sago palms and trimming trees/bushes/hedges. His price sounded good so we scheduled a one-day job for the work. On the scheduled Tuesday, a crew of three arrived (but not Jose to lead the work). We had to explain to the lead what we wanted done (same as we had explained to Jose before). The lead did not appear to understand us completely. The lead even FaceTimed with Jose for clarification. Apparently, that didn't make it any clearer for the lead...as evidenced by the crew's work. During the first three hours, the crew only managed to plant the sago palms...half of them planted too deep in depressions. They ran out of soil. The lead found a bag on my property and asked if they could use it. After I told him no, he used it anyway and said he misunderstood me. One guy also had to leave to buy more soil for the sagos. After I complained to Jose, the crew provided a replacement bag of soil. The crew trimmed the palm trees and hedges ok. They, however, botched the rest of their work. They butchered the bushes, fruit trees and other trees. They only completed about have the work and didn't cleanup at the end of their day...saying they'd be back on Friday. We feel it is unacceptable for them to have left the job site in such a state...even if they planned to return. The crew also broke a yard lantern. Not sure if we can get a replacement. We cancelled their Friday return and only paid them for the work completed. We are not satisfied with either the partial job done or the price charged for that partial job. It's crap. Vega Tree Service clearly had a more important job elsewhere and sent an inexperienced/subpar lead and crew to do our job. Poor customer service. We will not be using Vega's Tree Service again. We also cannot recommend them to other customers.

They cut an extensive number of branches from the oak tree and let them free-fall on my property, which is full of plants. The branches damaged my plants extensively. My backyard was probably 4 feet high with branches, and 8 feet deep. When I talked to one of the workers, he said the plants were "OK", but that wasn't true. When I asked to speak to the supervisor from Madriz, the workers said he wasn't there. No one from Madriz told me that they were going to prune the tree and let large branches free-fall into my backyard onto the plants in my garden and garage roof. Completely unprofessional. With respect to your request for a video, I do have a video of your Madriz worker in my backyard pulling piles and piles of branches off of my plants in my garden. With respect to your comment that I was "yelling and screaming" and "harassing" your workers, you are gaslighting me. I don't yell, scream, or harass workers. It's offensive and untrue. If you wanted to dead-drop limbs from an oak tree into my backyard, onto the plants in my garden, you should have contacted me first and discussed it. You never did.

I reached out to Daniel and Rick. They both were so helpful. Rick Silva was so kind and set everything up so fast. They originally told us it would take a week to pave our front driveway area and it actually took them only two days to get the job done. We are beyond thrilled with our beautiful front newly paved driveway. It has transformed the front look of our house so much! I highly recommend Silva Contractors Inc!!! They are not only nice people, but they are super hardworking and they go above and beyond to satisfy all of your home improvement needs. Thank you Silva Contractors Inc for helping us with our new pavement! Looking forward to working with you again in the future.

He runs a very tight ship, Excellent communication, always updating me , ahead of schedule, present to oversee the work. His team is amazing from the incredible demo guys to the Paver guys to the electrical guys they worked like a really well oiled machine they actually went above and beyond and gave me great design ideas. I actually was able to get much more space for my driveway then I thought. I watched them daily. They really did go above and beyond by doing things positively which I didn't ask for. Excellent work. The job was to demo my existing cement driveway, which had Redwood roots, tearing it apart and lifting it making it dangerous. They demoed cleaned up, smoothed out with beautiful pavers. Gave me more space than I realized I would've had. This team has been around for over 30+ years with so much experience. Hugo was amazing. Rick, who is the owner came and gave great design ideas for the project. Incredible value at the price point and superb quality of work. I've had many companies construction companies work with me and this is by far the best. If you have any questions or want to look at my yard driveway, please let me know. 6503463224 for texting
