“What a Rip-Off!!”
July 2010, Mr. Matthews arrived promptly for his appt with my 70-year old father who resides in Stone Mountain, GA. Mr. Matthews presented my father with a written estimate of $600 to remove and haul away a small dead tree in the back of his home. Unfortunately, my father experienced some health problems after receiving the estimate and could not have the tree removed immediately. Well, as fate would have it, in October 2011 the tree snapped and the top half came crashing down to the ground, fell forward and rested on my father’s garage causing onlly minor damage. Naturally he called Mr. Matthews. While he was not expecting Mr. Matthews to honor a 90-day old $600 estimate, he was not expecting a $2,500.00 bill either!!!! The Invoice read as follows: $1400 to remove tree off the house (huh?), $500 to haul off debris (what?) and $350 for a 20x30 blue tarp (found on Home Depot website for $64.98..??)….Grand Total: $2,250. OMG! Mr. Matthews seriously! What happened????

Whoa…let’s back up a minute. In July, I was asked to bid taking down the one leaning section of the double-stem ash tree that was “still standing” in the backyard. Since my crew was working five minutes away, I was able to offer a price of “$500” since there was minimal travel time involved. On October 13th, I was called out to remove that same leaning section of the ash tree that had snapped off & landed on the house. As a Preferred Provider for many Insurance Companies, we follow the strict standards set by the Homeowners’ Insurance guidelines. Not only was the snapped off section removed from the roof, but also the newly damaged portion that was still standing was taken down. All wood & debris was hauled away, and a temporary tarp was professionally secured to prevent any further damage from the rain that day. The breakdown on the bill was done to exact specifications & was promptly paid in full, to your dad, by his insurance company. Your dad called me last week requesting that I come out personally so that he could pay me rather than mailing a check. He is a very sharp, clever & witty gentleman, whose company I enjoyed very much. Give your dad some credit here. He is hardly someone who would easily be taken advantage of. Shame on you.

Great Tree Service Company
I was looking for a tree company to chop down a huge dead tree that was next to a power line at my rental property. One of the companies I contacted via email was Matthews Tree Service. They contacted me right away with a verbal estimate and followed up with a written one. Their estimate was cheaper than 2 other companies. Before I could turn around, the tree was down and cleaned up from my yard. I ended up using them to chop down a smaller tree in the back yard. They cleaned up the debris quickly as well. This company was very professional and efficient and I would use them again.

Did not follow through as scheduled
I contacted Matthews to get some tree work done and decided to use them. I was told 11 business days lead time and would be contacted 1-2 days in advance. Something came up financially and I went to cancel only to find out when I got to work and called they told me they did the job that morning. The never called and did the job in 5 business days with no notice. Not very good at following their schedule or notifying the customer.

Dear Keith, Let me say again what a pleasure it was assisting with your project. We don’t typically get complaints for being early. While scheduling your job, you stated in writing that you were aware that we were approx 2 weeks out, & that you wanted to be placed in the next available slot. Because you were so patient & understanding, I was thrilled when an earlier opening became available, & I was able to schedule your job within 7 days rather than the original 14. You cancelled via email at 6:24am the morning your job was booked. If only you would have called. We have someone on-call 24 hours a day & the crew could have been re-routed to another job. Since the office did not open until 8am, by the time your email was received, & the crew notified, it was too late…your job had already been completed.
Either way, I am sorry that you were disappointed with getting your quoted & approved job finished in a timely & efficient manner. I did not see it mentioned anywhere what a beautiful job you received regardless of the communication issue. Though it is sad that you were not pleased with our performance in providing excellent tree service, two of your neighbors were impressed enough to call for quotes the next day. Communication works both ways, & I feel our Service, Quality & Value should have received more than a one-star- rating from you. Sadly, upon reading a few of your previous provider ratings, I don’t think we would have stood a chance for a fair rating no matter how stellar our performance was.
I bid you best wishes in the future.

Excellent tree removal service
I recently used Matthew's for a small job (removal of small tree that was encroaching on neighbours deck). Matthew and Melinda were professional, punctual, courteous and did a very nice job. I would use them again.

Excellent Professional Service & Fair Price
We have been customers for almost 20 years and would not consider using another company. Another tree was removed this week and we are completely satisfied with the outcome as well as the cleanup. This is a top quality and very professional tree service. Also highly recommended for cat rescue!
