tree removal

I contacted Craig as one of our private trees in the backyard fell sidewards due to age and imbalance. it landed on electrical wires and was therefore a thread that needed to be removed quickly.
after long back and forth with the city, the insurance and others, i finally came across Craig that was the only one to understand and act quickly. within 24hrs, he drove by, assessed the situation, scheduled the project and got started. Craig took the time to explain what will haven in detail to me and again to my husband so we all were on the same side. i must say, i went to work in the morning and the problem was solved by the time a came home. in addition craig and his team left a clean space, i didnt have to remove or clean up anything.
many many thanks for helping us and helping us quickly when it mattered!

removing storm-downed tree from back yard

Very impressive service for low cost. We called 10am Saturday about a big tree that had fallen across our entire back yard, Craig Telenko of CB reviewed and quoted before 1, arrived at 4, completed the work before 7.
3 workers worked efficiently and carefully yet very fast, chopped all big wood into 16" lengths for neighbours to take for free from the sidewalk, chipped all the rest and cleaned up well. Excellent job all round, would highly recommend.

cut down and remove trees

I called CB tree service based on the reviews in Homestars. I have 5 trees in my backyard that are about 40 feet tall, one of them was split and damaged due to a storm. I called Craig at CB and advised him of the situation and as part of one of the trees had fallen he said he would come by in a couple of hours. Craig was right on time and gave me a good price to cut the damaged tree and remove the fallen limbs etc. The work he did was very professional, quick and clean. I had a look at the remaining trees and noted they were all quite old and in danger of falling on my or my neighbour's sheds so I asked Craig for a price to cut down and dispose of all 5 of the trees. Craig gave me a great price and as he had a cancellation for the next day he said he would come the next afternoon to do the work. Sure enough at 1.00 p.m. Craig and his crew arrived and commenced an afternoon of cutting down the 5 large trees, shredding the brush and cutting the trunks into firewood size pieces. Craig also removed, at no extra charge, a very large but dead branch from another tree. Craig and his team worked on their own all afternoon in a very professional, organized, efficient and effective manner. They cleaned up the yard after the work to a spotless condition. I have already recommended CB Tree Service to 2 of my neighbours and will be calling him back in the Fall for some pruning of a large Maple tree that I have. I strongly recommend CB Tree Service to anyone and am pleased to give them the full 10 points in the Homestars ratings. John M Pickering, May 29,2013

Amazing Service - Tree Removal

After a storm hit, our big willow tree collapsed onto our neighbours shack and had destroyed our fence. Craig and his team were successfully able to remove the dangerously siting tree, along with two other trees efficiently, timely and in a professional manner at a reasonable price! They provided an excellent service, and was very impressed with the outcome. I strongly recommend them for your tree removal services. I'll be contacting CB Tree Services in the future.

limp was broken

A branch on our apple tree broke. and was hanging over the neighbour's shed. Called Craig who said he would come over the next day for a quote. Due to a recent storm, he arrived with his crew in tow. Quoted me a very fair price. He and his crew had the broken branch and other dead branches removed and the yard cleaned within the hour. They were efficient, professional and courteous. Very satisfied.

Tree Removal

I had a tree that began to lean dangerously in a recent storm. I hired CB Tree Service to bring down the tree and remove the stump. Craig and his team worked in a dangerous environment to bring down a very large tree. I was a little concerned when he disappeared for 3 days but he did come back and brought down the tree.

Craig said he would be back within the week to complete the job of removing the stump, and, based on that we ordered a new tree. After a week and no Craig, I called and left a message with some woman who said she would let Craig know. No reply. On my third call (May 4) Craig did reply telling me he had a big job, but, was done and would be there May 7, possibly May 6. May 6 came and went, no Craig. May 7 I stayed home from work; no Craig. Since then all calls have gone unanswered. Luckily I was able to contact another company and they are currently doing the removal, and at a better price.

I could not recommend CB Tree; they may show up, they may not. What I don't understand is why a contractor would behave this way when there are sites like this that can expose their irresponsible behaviour.

Company Response

Although we are grateful and appreciate every review we receive from our customers, I don't usually respond to reviews unless they are inaccurate,
misleading or quite simply, not the truth.
Your review is all of the above.
The truth is,we removed a large 80 foot locust tree that had uprooted and which was leaning at a dangerous angle over yours and your neighbor's yard. In spite of the danger of the tree toppling while
we were aloft,working within and under the tree, we were able to remove it safely without incurring damage to any property. We did this work timely and efficiently and you were impressed with the work and pleasantly surprised with the great price we gave you. So much so, that you proceeded to introduce us to your neighbors who have also engaged us to do their trees and have asked and received several truckloads of free wood chips for their gardens.
Here is your original review:

Thank you for the kind review Tim
Now back to the response,
As we were leaving, you asked us for an estimate to remove the remaining stump. We explained that we were still incredibly busy with other storm damage and that we would only be available to remove the stump after all the emergency work had been completed. You agreed and we left it at that. At no time were you promised a completion date by me or any of my staff, told to order trees ,asked to take time off work ,or any other such nonsense. Our stumper was under repair at the time and we were waiting for parts to fix it. We couldn't have done your stump or anyone else's until the repairs were completed.
The truth is you began calling our office every day sometimes 7 times a day demanding we come immediately and do your stump under the threat of writing a bad review. You were rude to our staff and harassed and upset them so badly they became nervous to answer the phone.
I don't understand how you went from being so happy with us ,to publicly trying to discredit us over a stump removal that we never arranged.
Did the other company put you up to it?
All I can suggest is, the next time you want to plant a tree , you remove the old stump first ,before you have the new tree delivered. Then perhaps you won't be so spiteful and try to blame innocent people for your planning mistakes.
I'll leave it to the public to decide who is guilty of irresponsible behavior and who has been exposed. There are over a hundred reviews on my site attesting to the quality of our work including a few of your own neighbors who know the truth.
Shame on you.

Pruning of tree branchs over hanging wires

Craig responded in person to our phone call on a late Friday evening after a storm. He visited and gave estimate following morning. He and his team took care of the problem and also cleared a lot dead wood and other offending branches. They cut up the branch to use as firewood and cleaned up thoroughly. We were very happy with the job very well done.

Pine Tree Trimming

My mom and my brother were amazed by Craig's efficiency, skills, and professionalism. They were most impressed by the thoroughness of his cleanup job. Craig also helped us re-right a few Juniper trees that were split open or blown to a slanted position by the ice and snow storm late February 2013. His price was very reasonable. Excellent service, Criag! Thank you!!
