Les Wilson did the excavation for our new home in Portland. Les Wilson arrived on time and worked efficiently. The crew was friendly, respectful, and committed to maintaining a clean worksite. They demonstrated great care for our property and the surrounding environment. Les wilson was really tuned into our construction schedule and made sure that the excavation would be ready for the next subs. We highly recommend Les Wilson for your excavation needs and plan on using them again. read more

For the second time in a few weeks Les Wilson construction has managed to disrupt our Spectrum service at a project in Varney Mil Estates in Windham ME. No cable or internet. I can't move my mailbox without jumping through the proper DigSafe hoops they however can't seem to remember where the wires are. No apology. No knock on the door to take responsibility. We work remote office from home and the disruption has work consequences. read more

Had a Les Wilson truck almost plow into the side of my car at a Dunkin this morning. Apparently he wanted to take a wider angle at the drivethru but didnt bother to look at who else was in the parking lot at the time. No apology, no consideration. As a rule, no one should drive rudely when their company name is on the side of the truck. read more

In late 2015 Les Wilson & Sons worked with Eco-Clean Sewer & Drain Specialist to remove a section of collapsed Orangeberg sewer lateral from approximately my property line/the sidewalk, to the sewer main in the middle of the street. Les Wilson & Sons provided the trench work. I was very impressed. Work began around 7:45AM and ended about 11 hours later. I watched most of it, and I don't think any of them even took a lunch break. They were very relaxed about me observing their work, which I found fascinating. Despite the use of heavy equipment, there was a fair amount of manual labor in the trench. At one point I told them that they were certainly earning their pay, and the lead trench guy humorously replied that he does it for the passion. The sewer laterals are laid almost seven feet deep in this section of Portland; my understanding is that that this is deeper than other municipalities. The pavement sections pulled up by excavator were visibly about three inches thick. According to the Eco-Clean rep this was unusual - he'd worked on an excavation a short distance up the street, and the pavement was thinner. That made for more excavation work. The pipe was in a slightly different place than indicated on the City of Portland's records (the pipe was laid in the 1940s), so they had to excavate another, smaller section. The team worked exceptionally well together. I was impressed that the lead trench guy felt comfortable directing the Takeuchi heavy equipment operator to dump gravel into the trench while he was standing in it - this occurred several times. This demonstrates a lot of trust and skill in working together. They kept the work site clean -one of them was always pushing loose debris back into the trench, probably to prevent slip/trip hazards. They had to excavate the sidewalk and a small portion of my lawn. After they completed bedding the pipe in gravel, they closed the trench and applied hot topping to the roadway. It was not an inexpensive repair; however it had to be done, and the price was competitive. read more

McCarthy Tree Service

5.0

(8 reviews)

On 04/29/2026 McCarthy Tree Service did tree work at my home. The field team is: owner Mark…read moreMcCarthy and his friendly assistants Ray and Aidan. I witnessed a high level of skill, excellent team work, and a safety-conscious approach to the inherently hazardous work. The first task was pruning of the maple in front of my house. It's approx. 60 feet tall. I'd asked Mark McCarthy to remove a big branch extending over a peak of my house close to where the electrical wires come into the house. I need to have my house re-roofed; it would endanger the roofers to leave it in place. Watching Mark weave through this large tree in the bucket of his bucket truck while cutting branches with his chainsaw was mesmerizing. The houses in my area of Saint John Street are close together, and the electrical wires come into the front of each house; at my house, the maple tree branches were near the wires. Mark had to make sure the bucket wasn't too close to my wires, and he had to look back at the bucket truck's arms when he was changing position to make sure they didn't get near my neighbor's wires. It was skillful choreography. I live on Saint John Street; the past few years it has gotten very windy (thanks to global overheating). We had wind gusts including up to 60 mph about 1.5 years ago; they took down my neighbor's solid wood fence. Although my maple doesn't shed much during storms, I asked him to prune it with the strong/increasing wind in mind to prevent the loss of larger branches, and he did. The skillful pruning of the canopy resulted in a very lacy look. When Mark assessed the job, he suggested that a large trunk that had grown up in the center of the maple tree should be removed for its health; I agreed to that, and he did so. Ray and Aidan chippered the branches as Mark sent them carefully to the ground. When he was done, he banded the maple as we'd agreed during the initial consultation; he indicated that the banding will keep the tree from falling onto the house or into the road, and that when the tree leafs out fully that I won't be able to see it. I have peonies in the front garden that have struggled as this tree grew larger. With its crown being opened up a great deal, I think they'll get the sunlight they need to thrive again. At the entrance to my backyard there's a small self-seeded tree. Mark told me that it was a butternut tree; I did some research and found out that they're endangered. He had suggested trimming some branches to prevent the squirrels from getting on my roof. I also asked him to trim some branches that are close to my neighbor's roof for the same reason, and he did so. Ray tackled some light pruning of the blue spruce in my backyard - a nice edit for a tree that adds four-season color to the yard. Also in my backyard, I have huge, handsome red oak. Mark had pointed out a large dead section about 40 feet up and identified it as a danger. He had spoken very calmly throughout the assessment, without any rash words or tones. So I knew when he used the word danger that he meant it. He said dead oak branches that remain on the tree harden and eventually fall, and have the potential to harm someone below. The bucket truck didn't fit in the backyard so Mark climbed to the dead section. Ray and Aidan helped tie the ropes around Mark to keep him secure, and would tighten or release ropes as Mark moved up the tree. It was both impressive and unsettling to watch him climb with the chainsaw hanging from his belt, hoisting it up once he found a good perch for cutting, and turning it on to cut the dead section of truck. When it came down, it hit the ground with a resounding thud. It looked to be 15-20 feet tall. They had to cut it in several pieces in order to get it to the chipper. At my request, they took down a large branch on the red oak. It attracts Oriental bittersweet vine which isn't healthy for any tree. Ray cut most of it down using a pole saw; the amount of light coming into the backyard immediately increased. Lastly, all three of them tackled my two large brush piles. Ray and Aidan had the idea to winch the piles to the chipper. I watched as they skillfully knotted their heavy duty ropes around the piles and pulled them to the yard opening. They would knot, unknot, and reknot as needed. This work was truly above and beyond, and I appreciate it greatly - my backyard is looking much better. All members of the team wore quality PPE which included ear protection (the industrial chipper is loud). They communicated with hand signals while the chipper was on. The price was very reasonable. Indeed, I offered Mark McCarthy more money when the work was done because I think it ended up being a bit more than expected. (He declined.) Tree work is inherently hazardous. I greatly appreciate all their skill, and all the work that they did. Thank you also to Mark McCarthy's wife Susan Cassidy who handles the quote processing, emails, and background work so essential to any business.

I took on a house that had a lot of surprises, mostly leaks in different parts of the house. Over the course of a couple years, they were trying to diagnose the issues, claiming all manner of things that even I, with almost zero experience in this stuff, found perplexing. At one point they said an entire window had to be replaced. I had to wait an entire month for it to be special ordered and delivered, and after tearing out my old window, the guy realized they ordered the WRONG SIZE, and the office put it on the tech to relay the news. Office wouldn't even call me. So I called them and they coerced me into paying for that one and simply adding slats of wood to the sides of the window, obviously because they didn't want to get stuck with useless product. Yes, I should have stood up for myself and made justified demands, but what could I do with a leaky window? And that wasn't even the source of the problem! Turns out NONE of the four or five different techs that came out ever diagnosed the correct source of the leak. And me, with zero knowledge construction was right about the source of the leaks the entire time. Got a father and son team to come in through word of mouth and have not had a single problem since. One of the techs actually fell asleep in the truck on the job. Yes, I have video proof and will upload it if I have to. Bottom of the barrel people working here, that I wouldn't trust with a set of Lincoln Logs. You live and learn. Never forget. Always trust good word of mouth.
