Called for a quote to remove a couple of trees and grind the stumps as well as dig up a couple of…read moreplants for me to replant. Got an estimator out the next day. Thought the service would be great. However, when I called to schedule the tree removal, it took me calling and leaving messages three times before I finally was able to schedule on my 4th call. No messages were ever returned. The day they came to remove the trees, I was told they'd have to return the next day to grind the stumps. No one returned the next day. When they finally called to schedule it, they gave me less than 24 hours notice and when I said that didn't work, they scheduled for the next week. Imagine my surprise when, I looked out my window as I was getting ready to leave for a scheduled event and I see a tree grinder ready to go to work on a day I told them not to come. My husband spoke to the employee who was not aware and did not have the tools to dig up the plants I had asked them to do so I could move them. My husband spoke with Alfredo who said the employee there to grind the stumps could possibly do it if we paid him $50 off the books (once again, digging up the plants was included in the original estimate). To top it all off, I received a call 4 hours after the grinding was finished to find out if the could come over the weekend to grind the stumps. There is a severe lack of communication between the various parts of this company, phone calls aren't returned and they don't communicate with the customer efficiently. I hired them based on my neighbors' recommendation and my initial contact. They will not receive my recommendation for anything nor will I ever hire them again.

And now it's been 2months he won't even answer my phone calls so I used different phone and he answered proving he was screening calls. Then he answered so I asked him if he can do the job or not and he said he doesn't know. I just needed an answer so we could look for other tree service and he said he'll contact me later but he never did. I even offered more for the job. He never reach out to me. Horrible service and least proffesional service I have ever experienced.

This is a conversation I had with the owner of Unlimbited Tree Service. Coming to your own…read moreconclusions is warranted in this situation. Me 4:23 pm, Sept 29 Hi Charles. My name is Tammy Akers and I have been waiting a long time to have your company come out and do the work based on the contract I signed. I have been trying to work with Ray. I had already given him a 3rd chance to make this right and yet, here I am again, not getting the work done. This last time he said I had to wait another 1 to 2 weeks which I believe was 2 weeks ago. Please help. Me 4:26 pm The contract was written somewhere around August 15. Charles Preslipsky 4:57 pm Ok. I'll get with Ray so we can figure this out. I'll get back with you after I speak to him. Charles Preslipsky 5:25 pm So our bucket truck was down on 2 different occasions when your jobs was scheduled for blown hydraulic lines. It was down for almost a month between the 2 situations. Your job is smaller in nature and is scheduled to be completed when there's other bucket jobs that are close to your home. That hasn't happened yet. I apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused but I also understand that the job was significantly underbid. I would typically walk away from this job under any other circumstances but I think getting this done for you is the right thing to do. This job has to be completed the same time we are in the area. And currently in not sure when that will be but will let you know when I do. The other option is that you can 100% contract another company ti complete the job. At this point I will continue to see when scheduling your job will make the most sense, but it's going to be difficult. We never start our day off with a $600 job that's going to take us 2.5 hours. Just let me know what direction you would like to proceed with this. Me 5:37 pm So you had me waiting all this time for what? I didn't bid the job but I have to suffer because of it. Your company bid it to make up for a crummy sales pitch with misinformation. How many times did Ray tell me he was coming out in a week to do the job but said nothing about having to wait until it was convenient for you because you underbid. Again, how did that become my problem? Charles Preslipsky 6:00 pm Sorry got the inconvenience. Find another company to do your work. I legally retain the option to choose who my company works for and I don't believe we are a good fit for you and your project. Thanks for the opportunity. Me 6:14 pm So thats how you figure things out? By dropping the customer who has been sitting patiently waiting for you to perform the work you contracted? You had a contract with me. Not a single unkind word has come out of my mouth. I have been respectful and understanding of your broken truck dilemma. I waited a full month for someone to call me and lmk what was going on. And now this? I's bad business and Im definitely going to let as many people know as humanly possible that this is how you treat people. You had no reason drop me. I said or did nothing disrespectful. Btw, did you know that your sales guy quoted $800 and Jay quoted $600? That doesn't constitute "significantly underbid". Charles Preslipsky 6:20 pm I gave you 2 options. You chose not to answer the question of which option you wanted to proceed with moving forward. Instead you continued to dwell on what happened in the past. I offered solution moving forward. When you choose not to be an active participant in the solution, it's a problem. Sorry things didn't work out. Me 6:36 pm Just because you say something doesn't make it true. Attempting to communicate makes me an active participant, which is what I've done. Your options were unacceptable, and I was trying to explain why. Take some business courses and maybe you'll learn what good business is. Im afraid you've created no confidence that you are doing right by others. Ray's own aunt would agree, Im sure. He admittedly dropped the ball. Would you like to see the text? In my opinion, you fall under shady businessmen.

We have used Nelson Tree Specialist in the past and were pleased, but it seems that their prices…read morehave gone sky-high. Two years ago, Nelson removed a huge pine from our back yard (using the crane) for $1800. We reached out to them again this year to remove two trees (medium-sized), and they got back to us with an estimate of $4500! That price sounded ridiculous, so we got another estimate from a reputable company -- $1400!! They did a great job and didn't need any heavy equipment. It took about 90 minutes. Shortly after, our neighbors got an estimate from Nelson for removal of two of their trees (large ones) -- $5000! After checking around, they contracted with another tree company for $1600. I'm not sure why Nelson's prices have more than doubled, but if you're thinking of using them, I would highly recommend getting another estimate.

It was unbelievable watching them move that 9000lb tree intact out to the road for processing. I do a lot of tree work myself, but Billy (the foreman) and his crew blew me away. Very impressed. Thanks so much. And all of that before the 4th of July.

The stump grinder arrived an hour or so later and took care of all the stumps effectively.

This company handles themselves very well and treats you with much respect. It's hard to find people like them anymore. The crew that showed were very professional and did amazing work!
