The estimator said it should take 1, maybe 2 days to take out 4 trees. When I got the written quote, it was for 3 days and I was told it was "just in case". Silly me to not ask what a day of work was. I assumed it would start before 9 and end after 4. So, yup, it cost the 3 days rate. And even at that, the wood was not moved as I was promised. Instead, most of it was left where it fell with a mass of sawdust right next to the house. It was not all cut to firewood length. Several pieces were cut halfway through, so, partial credit for those? One day was rained out and I was told they'd be there the next day. Rearranged my schedule for the next day and waited, and waited. Finally around 10 I called and was told they weren't coming but would be there tomorrow. So, they did show up the next day and finished. But there was no review of the work to see if I was satisfied. I went outside to see the progress and they were gone. read more
