    Proof in the quote that the overhang was supposed to be trimmed.

    This review has been long overdue. Let me clarify that the ONLY reason this business gets 2 stars is because of how friendly and hardworking the workers were. Katie(the girl who answers the phone and surveys the trees) deserves negative stars. Let me some this up, this company has extremely bad communication skills. I confidently blame that on Katie. Many things happened prior to finally having our trees trimmed that contributed to my review. We requested an estimate on 7/26/24. Katie came out on 7/29/24 to survey our two trees. We wanted multiple quotes to get an idea on the price point. Katie assured me that we would be sent the quotes within 48 hours. That did not happen. I had to call several times.... It took FIVE days before they finally sent it over. (Keep in mind that they kept assuring me it would be sent over that same day, then it never happened) Strike one. My husband and I went over the details of the quote and decided we wanted to go in a different direction with the trees. I contacted Katie again on 9/27/24 about getting her to come out for another quote. I didn't hear back(after calling multiple times and the voicemail box was full) and I finally texted on 10/23/24 asking to speak with someone else who could help us. I finally got a response on 10/24/24 saying they were back in Ohio from working with the hurricane. Zero communication in any way prior to that. Katie came out that same day at 4:30 to assess the trees for a second time. While she was here, I mentioned that my neighbor was also needing a tree trimmed. When I received the quote the following day(10/25/24), I expected there to be some sort of discount for recommending this company to my neighbor since they would also be trimming his tree. She said they wouldn't do that since "everyone does that without being asked". Ok... I DEFINITELY wouldn't be recommending them to anyone after that. Strike two. They came out on 10/25/24 to remove specific limbs and to trim the overhang branches of the trees. My husband was at work for a majority of the time the work was being completed. I was home and was able to watch them working every now and then. I noticed at one point that the first tree, that they had removed a few limbs on, had not had the remaining branches trimmed on it like it should have had and the men had already started on the second tree. I went outside and talked to one of the guys in charge (keep in mind that these men barely spoke any English so communication was difficult but they were extremely friendly). I expressed to him my concerns about the limbs not being trimmed. He called Katie and minutes later I get a call from her. I answer and she's immediately defensive. She doesn't greet me or anything and says "I heard you wanted to add additional things to your quote. That's going to cost extra." I responded with "ummm no? The quote says you're supposed to trim the overhang, not only cut the limbs." She flat out said I was wrong. I told her that l have the quote up right now on my phone and that's exactly what it says. And that I'm not paying you anything more or until the job is complete. She said she would look into it (among saying other things) and get back to me. So I hung up. I was extremely upset and overwhelmed with how she just treated me. I called my husband and he said he would come home and take care of it. I texted Katie and told her she can discuss anything further with my husband. I was done dealing with her and her rudeness. She texted me back a few minutes later (when I had just told her not to) with a screenshot of an original picture of the trees in the quote. (**I attached screenshots of the conversation and the quotes she originally sent me**) She said "I just sent him(the man who was in charge on site that I spoke to prior) this photo, on his end he can't see the photos on the item lines only the ones on the bottom of the page. Clearly was a misunderstanding." NO APOLOGY WHATSOEVER. For how she treated me, for her being in the wrong. NOTHING. I didn't reply to any remaining texts because I was done with her and her attitude. However, the men who actually did the work....the specific tree limbs that were cut and the remaining branches trimmed... did an amazing job and were extremely friendly!! Can't thank them enough! But, I still would NEVER recommend this company to anyone. If anything I'm going to tell everyone to avoid at all costs. They were the cheapest quote we received, but I still would never use them again.

    MBI had done a good job of removing two of our trees, one of which we'd requested the stump be ground. The owner gave me the final price as his men were finishing the stump grinding. I went against my rule, never to hand the check over before seeing that the last of the work was done, and paid him. A few minutes later, their last truck left, and we were left with the shavings of the stump of a 75+ year old oak tree in a gigantic pile. I thought for sure they'd be back the next morning to clean it up, but no. I've called several times since, and the owner won't get back to me. We had to hire some teens to haul what is yards and yards of it into the woods behind our house, and replant the grass that died under the mound. If you want the job properly finished, don't hire MBI! =
