Theo of Sawyer Tree provided a high quote but was able to do the work within a few days. He rented a crane, had a crew here to chip the limbs, a qualified tree climber who I believe worked for the crane operator, and hired a logging truck to remove the trees. It was a big job removing 13 - 180' white pines around our property. They worked a long day into the evening hours and ran out of daylight leaving 1 tree left to be removed. We paid him in full and he promised the next job he had the crane, he would come back and remove the last one. 11 weeks later, we still have that one tree. Upon contacting him a number of times, he's saying he can't rent a crane for one tree and would like us to let him off the hook for the last tree because our job ended up costing him $. I asked him to ask his tree climber if he would come take it down and he was supposed to call me...never heard from him. They did a good job on the trees that did take care of but my contract was not satisfied completely. It appears as though he subbed out the work & rented the equipment. 2 days later I received a 2nd quote for $5,000 less from another tree service. I have very mixed feelings about Sawyer Tree Service. I overpaid for the work and only ended up with 92% completed. Very disappointing. read more
