    Status:
    Answered
    On August 3, 2023 Jay Bailey, owner of Jay's Tree Service, submitted an estimate for removing a fallen tree, a smaller tree that was attached and cleaning of the cut branches, etc.... .On August 14, Jay returned to my property. During this second visit, on August 14, he verbally indicated that he would cut a dead wild cherry tree and remove it as well, for the same price. I considered his proposal and asked if he would remove a pine tree which was closer to my home than the wild cherry tree instead and how much more he would charge me. He convinced me that another pine tree which was located in close proximity to my home too should be removed because the area where the tree had naturally split into two different huge sections was showing deterioration and he was concerned that it may fall too. He stated that the second quote ($2200 more) would also include the dead cherry tree. I emailed him on August 15 to request that he cut the pine tree, that I initially requested, which was closer to my home and leave the dead cherry tree. On August 16, when the work was scheduled to begin, he informed me that he was not charging me for the dead cherry tree removal and that removal of the second pine tree would be extra. I could not afford additional charges. He promised me that he would provide me with an itemized receipt of the job. I have written several emails to him requesting the itemized receipt. His voice mailbox on his phone is always full. In hindsight, I realize that the cherrywood fetches a handsome price. I wrote him a check on August 17, the day that his company finished the job. He cashed the check the same day. He is refusing to provide me with an itemized receipt for work completed. He has left his business sign in my yard since August 17. Since I got his name from the BBB listings, I hope that your office will help me obtain an itemized invoice/receipt from Jay Bailey. Thank you. If you need any documentation, I will be glad to provide what I have.

    They were coming to remove two trees and grins down two stumps. Both trees were removed and they did a fantastic job. They were able to grind and fill one of the stumps, but their grinder broke on the stump in our backyard. A gentleman who said he was Jay's father said they'd fix their grinder and be back in a few days. He did say we could hold back on part of the amount since they weren't finished yet, but we paid the full amount trusting they'd be back in a few days. This was a few months ago. I requested an invoice when the work that was going to be done was finalized and I never received one. I haven't gotten a response to emails, so I will call them. But for a business as reputable and with such good reviews, I would've expected them to be back when they said and to finish the job they started.
