Description

Contracted with the tree service to remove our tree in the front yard. He cut down a limb from one tree and said that he would come back to do the rest. He came back the next day and informed us that he needed the money in order to rent a debris, removal truck, and a lift truck. We wrote his wife a check. He went to rent the truck and told us that it was not available until Monday because part of the lift was broken. He said he would be back on Monday on Monday. He did not show up we contacted him via the phone number that we had And left a message. He did not answer the phone and he did not respond to the message. We had to go ahead and get another person to do the job. We again contacted him via the phone number that we had and again we did not hear back from him.
