had mike do two other jobs in the past that i was happy with hired him again this spring gave me a quote to remove 3 trees with all debris with his crane and grind stumps. Did not show up on the day scheduled called office mike left the work order on his desk . he called me at 5:20 am on friday to tell me they would be there that day. they showed up aprox. 3pm I left work and arrived home 3:45 to witness them triming and getting ready to remove one of the wrong trees. stopped the crew and showed the foreman the trees marked with orange dots as i was told to do by mike. Long story short they could not use the crane because mike did not get permission from the airport to go over 70 feet that he had done the past 2 jobs. they cut down 2 of the 3 trees with the bucket truck dropping large pieces into my neighbor's yard doing severe damage and then was told it was my responsability to remove all the wood and debris, mostly left in my neighbors yard. Contacted Mike with my concerns and was called a MORON on the phone, then he came to my house and demanded payment in full then began to swear at me in front of my 12 year old daughter. called the police after i asked him to stop swearing and leave my property twice and his response was do something about it! Came to an agreement with the company on a reduced price do to only 2 trees being removed and all the debris being left plus the cost to repair my neighbors yard. paid them, and now received a letter that he suing me. attourney general's office said they have dozen's of similar complaints.
