Our property was hit by a tornado and we had a ton of trees down in the backyard. So much so that a couple other companies said, "this is a huge job, it'll take a few days and we can only cut down to the stumps until TBD".
VanGordon came out and initially gave a quote that was slightly higher, but came back and offered to match the quote and said they could start the same day.
I ultimately went with them for a couple of reasons. The first being the fact they could start the same day, second being they had professional equipment (cranes, stump grinders, etc) and most importantly, I decided to go with them because the owner stopped by and seemed really genuine (he even offered to help me work with the insurance adjuster to ensure we'd not be screwed over).
The work they did was amazing and was actually kind of fun to watch. It's almost like I was a kid again playing in the sandbox with those little sand cranes!
Anyway, they ultimately knocked out the work in a day and a half and did a phenomenal job. So much so that my neighbor decided to go with them and I've seen a ton of positive, well deserved, shout-outs to them from people in our neighborhood.
Once all was completed, I got a chance to sit down with the owner who mentioned he's been doing this for 20 years. I can definitely tell.
Highly recommend!
