Reviews of local pros in Valencia, Pennsylvania

Ryan was great to work with and his team did an amazing job professionally taking down two trees and trimming two more. Very carefully operated their equipment to keep yard damage to an absolute minimum. Cleaned meticulously after they were done. Highly recommended!!

** update 8/13/19. More 5 star service. After asking Ryan about a maple that was trimmed, he stopped by to check it out and thought it could use more trimming. He then scheduled it and the crew came out again today to touch it up. That’s standing behind your work! Thanks again NHTS!

We at LifePointe Alliance Church in Mars, PA are extremely satisfied and pleased with the quality and proficiency fo North Hills Crane Services. The lighted cross on top of our church was in need of repair. Ryan and his crew first came to bring the cross down. Then once the cross was fixed, North Hills Crane Services came back to return the cross to the peak of our church building. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company to anyone needing the services of a crane!

North Hills Tree Service has been the most dependable and reasonably priced tree service in the Pittsburgh area for all tree services at my home for the past 10 years. Most recently, I had a couple large limbs that fell due to the recent storms this year. I requested a quote from Ryan and a site visit to assess the fallen limbs was completed within a week.

The quote was very reasonable, and the company was willing to remove a portion of a limb from our neighbor's yard. The work was completed within a couple weeks after contacting Ryan. I highly recommend North Hills Tree Service for any and all tree service needs you may need.

We have used North Hills Tree Service multiple times over the years. They always have provided knowledgable and thorough service. We have recommended them to our neighbors and they have done repeat service for them as well. A great experience from dealing with scheduling, estimate visit and day of work.

Had such a great experience using NHTS. Ryan came out and actually spent time walking our property with me, and gave me a ton of information that I didn’t even think to ask about. We came from a townhouse and having a house with a LOT of tree and landscape maintenance is new to us. He worked within our budget and offered a fair price. Two other companies came for quotes and the guys were here for maybe 15 minutes. The crew was SO fast and extremely professional. Took down two large maples next to our house, among other smaller trees and ground out a bunch of stumps. He followed up after to make sure we were satisfied. I will be using them for all our tree needs to forward!

Current Review:
The loss of a tree is a distressing event, like losing a stalwart friend; and, when my eyes are accustomed to admiring the same majestic trees in my yard across the seasons, the empty places where they used to stand are disorienting and disconcerting. I have battled warming climate, fungal infections, drought and tropical rainstorms, and invasive insects. In recent summers, it has appeared that the “bad guys” are winning.

Who helps to soften the demise of green and growing things? The crew from North Hills Tree Service. The same skilled, good-humored, intelligent men return each time I need help. They are prompt, efficient, thorough; and they coordinate seamlessly and safely through all the steps to fell a tree. When they lift and shoulder entire sections of tree trunks, I feel as though the Polish folktale about the hero who could uproot entire oak trees has come to life.

I have noted that team members are as affable with each other as they are agreeable with me.

When the crew leaves, there is *no* remaining clean-up for me to do.

Ryan Dewey is quite organized in scheduling work and always provides a detailed estimate well in advance. I also value Ryan’s support of worthy charities such as St. Jude’s.

I wish all of my remaining trees would remain healthy; but if more need to be felled, I will be calling Ryan Dewey again.

Prior Review:
I can’t imagine being a colonist on Mars, on a planet without trees. Trees are magnificent creatures – seemingly infinite in variety, beauty, and the life-giving gifts they provide to all organisms on our planet. I have relished planting and nurturing trees. I hate chopping them down. However, climate change has destroyed my Norway spruce trees, which used to stand like sentries in puffy, blue coats all around my house, and turned them into threatening, black skeletons. My grove of sassafras trees seemed quite happy for a span of over 40 years. I didn’t know their typical life cycle lasts for just 30 years before they cease to defy gravity and plummet, smashing every other growing thing on their way down.

Ryan Dewey, President of North Hills Tree Service, helped to ease some of my distress regarding the saddest of my trees that needed to be felled. His offer was entirely reasonable, and his team arrived a week ahead of schedule. Team members worked together with skill, efficiency, and good humor. They brought down three mature trees (two of which had branches woven among utility lines) in two hours, cleaned up all debris despite failing daylight and falling drizzle, and were as cheerful when they left as when they arrived.

I have several more skeletal spruces to be brought down. I know I’ll be seeing this team again.

NHTS is the best! We had tree work done previously by another company and there is NO comparison. Ryan has top notch employees who did a great job and were very efficient and polite men. Job was well done and did clean up.
My husband owned a tree company years ago so this review comes from experience in this line of work. He would recommend this company to anyone (in fact we already have). Ryan runs a very professional business!!!!

For the third time, the Kingsridge HOA reached out and contracted with North Hills Tree Service and Ryan Dewey to handle the repairs to our water management system and retention ponds. Not only was the work completed within the window promised, even after a very rainy April, Ryan went above and beyond what we expected from his proposal. The HOA Board, as well as some of our residents, would not hesitate in recommending him and his company for your excavation and tree needs!

I am thrilled to write an enthusiastic review for the exceptional tree services provided by North Hills Tree Service. Firstly, I want to highlight that North Hills Tree Service already boasts an impressive 262 reviews across platforms like Google and Facebook, which speaks volumes about their reputation. However, even with this established record, I felt compelled to share my own experience, as evidenced by the attached pictures/videos.

In my opinion, North Hills Tree Service is undeniably Pittsburgh's premier tree service, and I firmly believe that Ryan is the driving force behind their success. I reached out to several companies, but I am truly grateful that I had the opportunity to connect with Ryan.

From the moment I contacted Ryan, everything flowed seamlessly and with the utmost professionalism. He ensured that every aspect of the job was handled precisely as it should be. What sets North Hills Tree Service apart is that they are not just your average tree service company; they go above and beyond.

This is evident in various ways:
1. Tree Removal: The manner in which they remove trees is unparalleled in its efficiency and effectiveness.
2. Cleanliness: They take exceptional care in ensuring the area is immaculate after the work is completed.
3. Accommodation: They go out of their way to accommodate any special requests you might have.
4. Transparency: They are completely transparent about their insurance, worker's compensation, IHAB certification, and licenses, putting any concerns at ease.

It's clear that their service is defined by professionalism and dedication. To me, North Hills Tree Service isn't just highly rated; they are the epitome of excellence in Pittsburgh and perhaps even all of Pennsylvania.

I extend a special thank you to Ryan “The Actual Deal & Owner”, Josh “Jack of all Trade, Tylor “A Tightening Artist - Climber, Adam “Crane Operator”, PJoe “Floater”, and Audrey “Office Manager” for their exceptional contributions. Their teamwork and commitment have left an indelible impression on me and the whole neighborhood.

I wholeheartedly recommend North Hills Tree Service. My experience was outstanding, and I am immensely thankful to Ryan and his team for a job well done.

CJ was very responsive with communication. He was very knowledgeable. We needed to install a car charger, replace a faulty cGFI breaker, and install a heater for our garage. He was able to do all very efficiently and cost effectively. Would definitely use them again.

Excellent service process from beginning to finish - scheduling through the answering service was easy, service was booked for the next day, estimate process was clear and free of frills, work was done efficiently, cleanup (often a rarity) was impeccable, and getting back to me with a post-installation question was quick and highly satisfactory. Would definitely recommend and utilize for future services!

Chris and team at Hogue Electric are exceptional! From scheduling service to completion of project, the experience was great! Chris was able to isolate the issue very quickly, complete the repair, and offer a few items to monitor for the future. I am extremely satisfied with Hogue Electric and would highly recommend them!

Called for service to connect a new pool heater. they put me on the schedule very quickly. CJ was great. He came out, gave me a quote and completed the job that same day.

Chris and his co-worker were very considerate of my time and communicated proactively. I was kept informed every step of the way with the appointment, estimate of cost, work performed and completion of billing. Excellent experience and keep up the great work.

Hogue electric was great! I called them to get various small electrical jobs after purchasing a house. I felt the price was fair and they were able to complete it within a day! Super happy with Alex, the electrician assigned to my jobs, and this company overall.

Chris did a great job of extending a 240V line into a wall cabinet prior to a double oven install. A detail oriented professional who is good at clearly explaining what he was planning on doing and answered all of my questions.

The price charged was fair and dealing with the scheduling was pleasant too.

Highly recommended.

Houge Electric responded right away to my online inquiry about adding an outlet in our pantry and came out for a free estimate and were able to quickly and efficiently complete the job on the spot for the price quoted. They were very careful to clean up after themselves and make sure the finished product was exactly as we wanted it… thank you for great customer service! We will use them again

Once again Hogue Electric did an outstanding job. Price was great and was able to schedule the work quickly. CJ is a fantastic electrician and appreciate his attention to detail and honesty. I will definitely do business with them again.

Excellent working with Hogue. CJ and team were incredibly professional and forward with their estimate and approach to the job. During installation the cold weather didn’t stop the progress. This was part one of a larger project and I look forward to speaking with them again soon this spring. Amazing service, won’t ever look elsewhere.

I found the service to be excellent. The quick response was surprising due to the overall challenges to service providers as a result of the overall storm damages in my area
One bit of contention was the overall service charge. I realize it is not a “hobby” but it leaves the impression (perhaps not justified) that there was some exploitation of the emergency situation.
In balance, the quick response to “my emergency “ situation” the change was justified. I have to admit I am not familiar with current service fees today but as a “civilian “ it did seem a bit excessive. I naively feel the situation deserved a bit of flexibility.
That is my two cents !!

CJ was prompt,courteous, efficient.Explained what needed done to update electrical system in home.He returned to our house same day on short notice to remedy a slight problem and reimbursed us for estimated parts/ services found to not be necessary.
