In Sept/October of 24 we had a catastrophic hurricane come through our area and destroy land, property and lives. We have been a professional company for over 20 years in the FEMA/Disaster Recovery business (Cope’s Disaster and Tree Service) if you have any questions about this post look up our website and you can see we have an honest, professional, small-business with an excellent reputation. Fast forward to meeting Hunter Tree Care. There were many contractors from different areas that came in to help us during this horrible storm and for that we have been grateful. However, a few days into working this storm my husband received a call from Hunter Tree Care. He had some logs that he was needing moved and did not have the capability of moving them. Being in the storm business my husband had a loader truck and told him he would help. The two agreed on a price and our company completed the work for Hunter. He paid our driver in cash, however, when the driver returned it was not the amount that was agreed upon, even though we had done the work we had said we would do. My husband immediately called him and he didn’t answer for a few hours and then responded with a text and said he had made a mistake and had paid the wrong amount. However, he assured us he would get us the money. That was in December/January of 24 and 25, we’ve still not received money. The amount he owes is $1,020.00. The last reply from him was in January telling us he was out of the county in China but would have someone send a check ASAP. As you guessed we’re still waiting on that check This post may/may not sway your decision on hiring Hunter Tree Care, but just know he came into a very vulnerable situation for the people in Western North Carolina, done work had work done for him and he left us without paying his bills. We’ve reached out and tried to work with him about getting our money, but unfortunately I guess this is where it will be left. The attached pictures are screenshots from where we asked for money and he said he would send them however we never received money.
