This is a great service. I hired Capital Sawmill to mill some lumber after the derecho that hit…read moreour area downed a cherry tree on my property. The wood was too beautiful to just cut up for firewood. The service is pricey so do your math beforehand to determine whether the value of the resulting lumber is worth your investment. For me, the cost was worth it because cherry is a premium wood and I plan to use it inside my home for trim, flooring, etc. Stephen is the owner and came to my site initially to assess my job. Then a few days later, two employees, Alex and Allen showed up with the sawmill on a trailer towed by a truck. Allen is the sawmill operator and I was impressed by his efficiency and skill with the machine. He surpassed my expectations of getting much usable lumber from the logs while minimizing waste. Alex is more of the go-to guy, stacking the lumber in my barn, keeping the site cleaned up, etc. They removed all the waste and were very good about stacking the lumber where I wanted in my barn. Remember that most wood takes at least a year to slowly air dry before working with it. Alex stacked the boards with little sticks between the layers. The sticks are called "stickers" and the process of stacking is called "stickering." After it was all stickered, I brushed polyurethane on the edges to seal them to prevent splits during the drying process. The cost of their portable sawmill service is $200 per hour, with a minimum of four hours. Beware that this includes their travel time, set up on your property, packing up and returning back to their place of business in Nassau. I live relatively close and got about three hours of actual sawmill time for $800 plus tax. If you have the ability to deliver logs and pick up the milled lumber from their business, the economics would work a little bit better in your favor. Another point to remember is that rough cut lumber is not finished lumber. The band saw in the portable sawmill cuts to approximately one-inch thickness (or greater). There are slight ridges in the wood. After drying, my milled cherry boards will need to be planed and then sanded in whatever project I decided to use them. These days, "live edge" tables, mantels and other furniture is popular. Capital Sawmill can cut slabs from your wood for these kinds of projects. Initially I told them I only wanted boards. But when I saw some of the beautiful knot patterns and bark in the outer pieces that were cut from my logs, I decided to keep these also. Alex stacked them along with my straight-cut lumber. Possibly I'll used them in other projects. In summary, these guys like wood and know what they are doing. Allen is very skilled with the sawmill. Alex is also an interesting guy. What does a sawmill employee do in his spare time? He carves wood, of course, lol. At one point, he took out his cell phone and showed me some beautiful wood carvings, including one of an intricate owl that he created for his mom.

We hired Advantage Tree Service to remove a large dead branch, with multiple offshoots, from the…read morehuge locust tree in our front yard. At that time, we thought it was a straightforward job. It was not until the day of removal that we learned how complex the removal was. We watched the whole thing from our upstairs bedroom window. A team of five men was assigned to this job: Tyler, Nate, Carlos, Theo, and Jude. In addition to a chainsaw, there were three larger machines needed for the removal and disposal of the large branch: a cherry picker truck; a skid steer; and a chipper. It was quite an event. The operator of the cherry picker, Tyler, took time to assess the situation before he began. He had to very carefully lift and navigate the bent arm of the cherry picker to cut and remove each limb of the dead branch without getting the arm of the cherry picker tangled in the many other branches of the locust tree or in the branches of the neighboring birch tree. This did not appear to be an easy thing to do, but Tyler did it carefully and successfully without getting caught up in the branches and without damaging them. In addition, Tyler had to avoid hitting the power line from the house to the street with the machine and when dropping the cut sections of the dead branch. Again, he was successful with this. To avoid damage to themselves, their equipment, activity on the street, and our property, each of the five workers needed to constantly be aware of their physical positions during the job. They were. Clearly, safety was a top priority. The men did a thorough job cleaning up our driveway and yard afterwards. They left no trace. We can now feel safe knowing the dead branch that was hanging precariously over our driveway no longer has the potential to fall and cause injury to someone or our property. We certainly learned a great deal by watching these skilled, competent workers successfully finish the job and now have a newfound appreciation and respect for the work they do. Kudos to them! We give Advantage Tree Service a full five-star rating and recommend them highly.

Take a look at what they did to MY property. Their machines not only ruined our seal coating, they cracked the blacktop in a couple of places. We weren't home when they finished so we didn't see it until they were long gone. No note, no anything, to be sure we were ok with what they'd done. Had to ask our neighbors who they were. Classic example of the saying, "No good deed goes unpunished." After speaking with the Advantage Tree Service sales rep on this project he grudgingly acknowledged that he should have talked to me about bringing his commercial grade equipment onto my residential grade blacktop but that's about all. They think it will be fine after a few rainstorms (I don't) so we may end up with attorneys involved, which is really unfortunate; it seems pretty obvious how they could make this right but don't seem inclined to actually do it. There's a reason they only have a 3 star rating.

Definitely would recommend these guys.
