This guy Tommy, was recommended by someone who had done work for us previously. We went on vacation and told him to wait until we got back to do the work, he did it while we were gone anyway. At first, I thought everything was ok, but then we got to looking around and I didn't like what I saw. There were logs left lying in my yard, a 10 foot branch and there were limbs not cut that I had asked to be cut.
It was just under a month and I called him back and told him some work had been missed. He had an attitude right away. At first, he tried telling me that my trees were maples and there was no work order for maples. I told him, no, these were the Ginko trees that I had a work order for. Then he said it had been almost 2 months, when in fact it had not. He said he'd come look at them that afternoon. He showed up at 7:30 pm and I had guests for dinner.
He had excuse after excuse as to why his work looked half finished, leaving a limb hanging over a power line and several limbs not cut. He even told me that I had not asked for those limbs to be cut and that the logs were not from him and his men. I had asked as part of the contract for 3 rather large piles of limbs and brush to be mulched and cleaned up, leaving the mulch for us. He kept saying he had done that for free, when in fact that was included in the $2300.00 price he quoted us for the job.After all said and done he agreed to come back and remove the logs and limb and cut the branch hanging over the power line, and cut back the MANY branches that were cut only half way back, but the remaining branches, he would not take care of. I felt like this was a shake down for more money when in fact, he had already been paid, but he did not complete his work. I did call the company that had referred him to let them know what had happened and that I did not want him coming back out to my home or calling me again. Now, I have to pay someone else to finish his half ass, uncompleted work. If I could give him less than 1 star, I would! read more
