I contacted them before September 7th, 2021 and was told it would be a 8-12 week wait as they were busy. I get it. Everyone one is short staffed, and everyone is busy. They did send over a person to give an estimate in a very timely fashion, and since it was a small job, they might be able to do it sooner. I should've realized from the misspelling of my name on the email containing the estimate, they didn't really care about their customers nor their time. After about 4 weeks, I realized I needed some branches around power lines trimmed, and they were more than willing to add it to the day of work. They didn't mention how much extra this was going to be though. By the time week 14 had arrived, I sent an email to see how far out we would be scheduling wise. I got no reply for 3 days when they called and said they could be there tomorrow. Unfortunately, both my wife and I were out of town that day. it wouldn't be a problem they said. I got a phone call the following morning from the technician(proper description?) saying I was going to have to sign a waiver because our fence gate was broken. Now, I'll freely admit the gate is leaning and needs to be replaced, but I was a little surprised when they said broken. They sent some pictures, and it was in the same condition as when I last saw it. They had clearly gotten through the gate in order to take said pictures. The technician then said since he sent pictures, I didn't need to sign a waiver. I had already told him I had no problem signing a waiver, but wanted to read it first. I did ask if my gate was a problem why didn't the person who came out to do the estimate say it was going to be a problem? At that point, the technician said I was accusing him of breaking the gate. I flatly said no, I said it is in the same condition as when I last saw it. The technician then said he'd have to talk to his manager before proceeding with the work. I said fine, let's just get this tree down. Then he changes his mind and says the tree is very dangerous and needs to come down and will do it. Great! Let's do it! The tree is coming down, and everything is going to be fine. I get off the phone and check my doorbell camera and see both trucks and all the workers leave my house. I call the technician back and don't get a response. I then call the office and the lady at the desk doesn't know what's going on and rightfully so. She hasn't talked to the technician since he left. I said several times "I've been waiting 3 months for this tree to come down." She interrupts me and says, you've said that several times, but we are right on time scheduling wise. I wasn't aware 8-12 weeks then actually arriving at 14 weeks was on time. She says she'll call me back and let me know what's happening. She called back, and I couldn't get to my phone. She left a voicemail saying that the person who did the estimate would be coming out to do the work either the same day or tomorrow. That was 12-16-21. Here it is 1-4-21, and I've heard nothing from Mencer's. I am 17 weeks out with no word on when, or if, they are planning on coming out. I'd heard from a couple people and read some reviews that they would schedule work then not show up for it, but I thought that was pretty silly. Little did I know, thinking that was silly, was actually the silly part. If you schedule Mencer's just accept they may or may not get the work done. I won't be calling them in the future. If I could give less than a star, I would. read more
