Hancock Tree Service

This group did a phenomenal job at our home. They were professional, the job was done quickly and the price was well within budget. We couldn’t be happier!!!!

During a recent storm, I had a large red oak in my front yard split and fall directly onto the roof of my home. I asked my insurance adjuster for recommendations on tree removal, and he said the only crew he'd recommend was Hancock Tree Service. It ended up being a fantastic recommendation, not only because they worked super well with my insurance (and therefore made what could have been a really miserable claim process easy), but also because they did a great job. A Hancock employee named Matt came literally hours after the storm, in the evening, to survey the damage and determine what would be needed. There was no charge for this. Matt is also a botanist, and I appreciated his professionalism but also enjoyed his geeking out over the trees in the neighborhood. Then, a crew of ~4 workers supervised by a really great employee named Johnny arrived at exactly 8:00am as scheduled *the next morning.* Johnny was so nice, communicative, professional, and apologetic about my losing the beautiful tree. They worked non-stop for nearly 6 hours to remove the portion that had fallen on the house and then cut down what remained of the now-hazardous tree. They brought a crane in order to lift the big limb off of the roof and over power lines and other trees. I was concerned that the removal itself may cause damage, but there were no issues with that at all. It was pretty amazing to watch, and they did an excellent job. They trimmed away all damaged and hanging limbs, removed all the debris, and leaf-blew the yard and roof, leaving it looking frankly better than it did prior to the storm. And they even respectfully fended off a rude neighbor who gave them an ear-full about briefly blocking the road (which was, by the way, necessary, brief, and communicated beforehand). The premium charged for emergency service was reasonable given that I'm sure their schedule was crazy after that storm. I know they had to postpone other jobs, which I'm sure is a huge administrative hassle, too. I will absolutely use them again in the future, but hopefully not for a tree on the house. Thanks very much to Johnny, Matt, and crew. I rarely leave reviews but wanted to be sure to give these guys a bump, 'cause they definitely deserve it. 10/10 would recommend.

Matt & Johnny have always been a pleasure to work with. Their team at Hancock expertly and quickly took down a 75' hemlock in my backyard that had been split by lightening. Due to the heavy damage it took, it could not be safely climbed so they had to bring in their boom truck. Despite having to work over a children's play tower and beside a 50+ year old giant Magnolia tree, they caused zero damage. Highly recommend these folks!
