Aileen Provost
Michael Pippin recommended Bill. Called Bill yesterday for tree removal after the storm. He showed up not even 24 hours later. Professional, friendly and fast. Removed the tree from the house and cut up the wood for fire use. I so appreciate the work he and his coworker did and how affordable it was.
James Mattocks
Black Bear Tree service is awesome. They worked hard and were very efficient. We will be using them again in the future. We were able to maximize our budget and we very impressed by Bill and his crew. Very gracious about moving things to clear way for their work.
Connie Godwin
Bill and his employees removed three huge pines and a smaller tree from my front yard with one of the pines right over my house. Bill knew exactly how to get it off of my roof without damaging it. The price was very reasonable for today’s prices. They were efficient at their jobs and I would definitely use Black Bear again. Thanks again!
