A Cut Above Tree Service Reviews

We were taken for a ride....paid a lot of money up front and never got work done. Even though it was not the whole amount up front we lost a couple thousand. Steer clear of Tommy Sexton. Apparently when his first company went bankrupt (A Cut Above) he managed to open another (All Around Tree Service). New name - Same game! We lost a lot of money. Tried to give him every chance to stand up and do the right thing but first one cell phone was disconnected then the other wasn't answered and has a full mailbox. WE have not heard from him in over a month.

They quoted me a great price on having a large tree removed from my front yard. He planned to come out by 7am. 9am rolls around and they still weren't here. I called and a man named Steve then informed me that my appointment had "slipped his mind". I told him I was pissed off that i had cancelled other appointments to be available for him to do the work and he apologized and said that he'd be there within 3 hours to complete the job. I waited for the rest of the day and Steve did not show up or call. After a negative FB post, the owners wife called and said she would see what she could do to make it right. She called me back and said that Steve said that I cursed at him and so he would not perform the job. I said that I was pissed off so maybe he counted that as me cursing him. He should have told me he wouldn't do the job instead of apologizing to me and telling me he'd come out within 3 hours

on yesterday April 1st, 2013 I reveive a ring on my door bell and it was a man that was in a white pickup truck with two other guys, which stayed in the truck. This guy introduced himself as Tommy and handed me a green flyer inquiring about doing some work with my trees in the back yard. I had just had this conversation Friday about having my trees trimmed and thought, what a great opportunity to go in back to see how much the free estimate would cost. He quoted me an price I could not resist and was actually going to have him complete the job today,4/2/13, the next day. Well, he asked for money upfront of 35% of the cost. I asked him if he had a website, photos of his work or any proof that he could to the job as we discussed. He had nothing, no documentation, etc. He told me he would be done with the job within one day, which would be cleaning out a wooded area, prunning trees, etc. I told a friend about this and he suggested that I do research because most people does not ask for money/payment until the job is completed. Well, I called him back last night and told him that I was going to cancel the appt. today because I did not feel comfortable paying him my money and do not know what type of work he does. After researching, he had other complaints and the approach from the other people were simular to the exact same way he approached me. He even called me at 6:30 am this morning to see if I had changed my mind. I told him, if he go do the job, then he will be paid based on what we discussed how he would do the job and make my back yard look. He refused without money. He is not even BBB acredited. Have not insurance, etc. I would suggest anyone not to agree and pay people who walk up to you and offer a job that expect money upfront. I am glad I did my research!
