"DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY" "RUN FAST AND FAR"
I hired this company to remove a very large tree for me. All was going well until a piece of the tree got away from them and hit the corner of my garage. It damaged the siding, downspout, and a man door.
Ok - I was not upset, accidents happen, they just need to make an insurance claim and take care of fixing the damage.
But, here's where the problem lies. They told me they would make a claim and their insurance agent would call me. This never happened.
They then wanted to negotiate a deal saying the cost to fix the damage was less than their deductible and they did not want to have an insurance claim. Ok - I'm willing to discuss this.
Then they wanted to send their "dad" over to fix it. Sorry, no I want a licensed, reputable contractor.
They then sent some other guy over to look at the damage who claimed to be an engineer. He offered to knock 50% off the bill. I told him, no, we first need to get contractor quotes in order to determine how much the repair will cost.
I got a contractor quote on my own - $1900 for the repair.
I sent it to King James Tree company - "crickets"
Here in lies the problem - They have now disappeared and are ignoring my phones calls and texts. They are NOT a reputable, ethical, responsible, well run company. Contrary to their word, they probably do not even have business insurance. read more
