Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: The stumps [redacted] left were in two different areas One was on the western end of the site and the other was on the eastern end of the site Both were fairly large amounts of stumps The ones on the western end of the site had been left in an open area and in a large, unsightly pile The day *** finished the job I came home to find him loading his equipment onto his trailer I then saw the stumps in a pile and I approached him, telling him his job was not done He became exasperated, saying that he just wanted to go home This is when the subject of "excavate" and "remove" came up and he said he didn't have a truck to do the removal So he offered to "hide" the stumps in the woods He stated that the last contractor was allowed to leave his stumps so why shouldn't he (***) be allowed to Needless to say, *** put the stumps in the wooded area When *** came out to start removing the stumps, we talked about taking all the stumps *** left, which would mean taking from both the eastern side and the western side However, *** had moved brush and wood chips down the hill leading to that area so going into that area to retrieve the stumps would not be a safe idea as the ground was covered with wood chips, which covered brush and it was rather unstable My suggestion was that *** take [redacted] stumps from the eastern side and then take the stumps that had been previously left in that area [redacted] would be taking the same amount as were in the western area, so that the total amount of stumps taken would be equal to the amount of trees *** cut It seemed to be the most logical, safe and cost effective move at that point I know that *** charged me well below what he would have charged others, so in fact had he charged me full price, I would be asking *** for even more And had *** spent the extra time going into the woods and removing the western end stumps, it would have brought that cost up even more Instead, he did what he felt would be the most fair by taking the same number of stumps from the eastern pile as he felt were in the western pile He was actually doing *** a favor so that *** would not have to come back out with his equipment, etc., and do the job himself I paid [redacted] to "excavate and remove" the stumps, so any "disposal" costs would have already been covered in the $3,I paid him originally I also paid him to grade the area which was not done to what he stated he would do And lastly, [redacted] left a rather large hole at the drain pipe site and again, [redacted] had to fill that in and fix the area I will not have [redacted] back out to my home because there is no reason to have him return There is no attempt to deceive him or to have him do more than his contract stated he would I simply do not wish to have him back at my home Again, I am asking for reimbursement for what I've spent - twice Moving the stumps = $ Removal and disposal of stumps = $ Repair drainpipe area = $ Grading came to a total of $however I am willing to cut that in half, making it $as [redacted] did do the finish work Again, [redacted] gave me a large price cut where he could (obviously he could not cut the price of the material he used) so in actuality I am not asking for more than what I feel is due I thank you again for your assistance with this matter Sincerely, [redacted]

I can not come to any conclusions until I see what was actually removed from the siteMy recollection and *** vary I know she doesn't want me there as much as I don't want to go there, but I have know way of making a rational rebuttal until I have a chance to review the work Please advise Regards, ***

Thank you in advance [redacted] for you help in resolving this issue, As you can see from the emails this has gone on for some time and I grow tired of it allThere are statements in [redacted] complaint that are not factual at all The original access to the area she wanted cleared was looked at, talked about, and decided upon weeks prior to our arrival, but that changed as soon as we showed up on siteWe were to gain access past her house down a road to her out buildingsIt would have provided a nice level area for us to stage a chipper and log truck to perform the work*** told me upon arriving we couldn't use that access because she got her small [redacted] stuck there a few days beforeOk what's plan "B" well we could move your car port, cut these four to five ash trees,(not birches) and come up that steep hillThis enabled us to avoid driving over her septic fields which *** helped us map out, but puts the majority of our work in direct line of the curtain drains surrounding her houseShe authorized the cutting of the extra trees excited it would give her more free parkingShe stated my guys just randomly cut these trees without her knowledgeNot the case at all I'm only mentioning this because there are other examples of this back and forth "he said she said" throughout this entire dialog So my resolution is simple and I had already agreed to it months agoWhen conditions were conducive I would return to remove the stumps, but only with the presence of [redacted] , the "finish contractor"Remember I am only providing a rough grade after land clearing, nothing "nicey nice", her words not mine, another misconceptionI did not want to be on site without another outside party involved, fearing more twisted, misconstrued, antics would otherwise make matters worse *** contacted me a few weeks back and asked me if he brought the stumps to my yard would I accept themAllowing me the responsibility of their final disposal or processingI agreed to take them in which I didI believe I counted seven loadsHe told me he would take care of itI was waiting to hear from him to see if I owed him anything for getting them out her woods into my yardI still haven't heard if I owe him a favor or I need to pay himSo I figured I was all done with [redacted] , until I got this E mailIf [redacted] charged her for removal of the stumps I agree to reimburse that expense only I have paid the service tax on her job approximately $dollars, lowering the initial job from $to $ I originally left her three cords of wood and later returned with 3/of a log truck more I have taken in all the stumps from the clearing job I did and possibly more from her prior land clearing job that were left behind from another contractor that cleared some of her land I offered to cover any expense incurred by [redacted] in transportation of said stumps All I've gotten in return is defamation of character and bad taste in my mouthSo if anyone feels as though they've been wronged here it would be me Regards, [redacted] Maximum Tree Service LLC

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:
The stumps [redacted] left were in two different areas.  One was on the western end of the site and the other was on the eastern end of the site.  Both were fairly large amounts of stumps.  The ones on the western end of the site had been left in an open area and in a large, unsightly pile.  The day [redacted] finished the job I came home to find him loading his equipment onto his trailer.  I then saw the stumps in a pile and I approached him, telling him his job was not done.  He became exasperated, saying that he just wanted to go home.  This is when the subject of "excavate" and "remove" came up and he said he didn't have a truck to do the removal.  So he offered to "hide" the stumps in the woods.  He stated that the last contractor was allowed to leave his stumps so why shouldn't he ([redacted]) be allowed to.  Needless to say, [redacted] put the stumps in the wooded area. 
When [redacted] came out to start removing the stumps, we talked about taking all the stumps [redacted] left, which would mean taking from both the eastern side and the western side.  However, [redacted] had moved brush and wood chips down the hill leading to that area so going into that area to retrieve the stumps would not be a safe idea as the ground was covered with wood chips, which covered brush and it was rather unstable.  My suggestion was that [redacted] take [redacted] stumps from the eastern side and then take the stumps that had been previously left in that area.  [redacted] would be taking the same amount as were in the western area, so that the total amount of stumps taken would be equal to the amount of trees [redacted] cut.  It seemed to be the most logical, safe and cost effective move at that point.
I know that [redacted] charged me well below what he would have charged others, so in fact had he charged me full price, I would be asking [redacted] for even more.  And had [redacted] spent the extra time going into the woods and removing the western end stumps, it would have brought that cost up even more.  Instead, he did what he felt would be the most fair by taking the same number of stumps from the eastern pile as he felt were in the western pile.  He was actually doing [redacted] a favor so that [redacted] would not have to come back out with his equipment, etc., and do the job himself. 
I paid [redacted] to "excavate and remove" the stumps, so any "disposal" costs would have already been covered in the $3,000.00 I paid him originally.   I also paid him to grade the area which was not done to what he stated he would do.  And lastly, [redacted] left a rather large hole at the drain pipe site and again, [redacted] had to fill that in and fix the area.
I will not have [redacted] back out to my home because there is no reason to have him return.  There is no attempt to deceive him or to have him do more than his contract stated he would.  I simply do not wish to have him back at my home.
Again, I am asking for reimbursement for what I've spent - twice.
Moving the stumps = $300.00
Removal and disposal of stumps = $280.00
Repair drainpipe area = $200.00
Grading came to a total of $450.00 however I am willing to cut that in half, making it $225.00 as [redacted] did do the finish work.
Again, [redacted] gave me a large price cut where he could (obviously he could not cut the price of the material he used) so in actuality I am not asking for more than what I feel is due.
I thank you again for your assistance with this matter.
Sincerely,
[redacted]

I am rejecting this response because:  
 
As to the access issue - [redacted] and I discussed two access points.  I advised him that the access through the gates would be possible however since it was later than when he said he'd be coming, it was now entering mud season and I had gotten my daughter's [redacted] stuck in that area the spring before so I was not confident his trucks would be safe going that way.  Other construction trucks had been through there but that was at a different time of year.  [redacted], on the other hand, kept saying he could get access via the way he actually did, which was down an embankment.  I was concerned that he would not be able to, however he stated he was ok with it so I said fine.  We moved the shelter and I agreed to let him take down, I believe, two or three trees in order to gain access the way he wanted to.  That was not a problem.
 
The birch trees were not even near the access point.  They were along the brushy divide between where the work was to be done and the yard.  
 
[redacted] came out and viewed [redacted] work.  We ([redacted] and I) debated as to whether or not [redacted] SHOULD come back, seeing as how it had been left and the email progression that had gone on.  We agreed on the day that [redacted] came to complete the job that he would deliver the stumps to [redacted] because to have [redacted] out meant more clean-up on [redacted] part and more of an issue for everyone involved.   The removal of the stumps and the grading, all of which were supposed to have been done by [redacted], came to $1030.  The work for fixing the drain pipe came to $200.00.   I'll scan and email you the bill from [redacted], which was paid by me.
 
As to the service tax payment, the estimate I received from [redacted] had the tax set at $190.50, not his state $282.00.  Copy of the estimate and actual invoice, showing that he did not, in fact charge me the tax, will be scanned and emailed to you as well.
 
As to the amount of cord wood left, [redacted] and one of his workers stated that the first load was under 2 cord.   A second load was delivered, one which contained junk wood as well as usable wood was, as I was told by a representative of [redacted], approximately three cord, give or take.  Total amount of cord wood was approximately four cord, give or take.   
 
As noted in the emails, the only thing I had asked of [redacted] was to honor his written contract.  I have in no way defamed his character or asked for anything other than what he said he would do.  The fact that I had to go to outside sources to complete a job I had paid [redacted] to do was not something that sat well with me.  I ask for reimbursement from [redacted], in the form of a bank check made out to me vs to the rescue.  I do feel that should [redacted] make out a check to the rescue, he will then use that as a tax deduction as my rescue is a registered, non-profit.  Again, I only asked that he honor his written contract.  In each of the emails I sent to him, the same was requested.
 
I thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:
 
I see no reason for [redacted] to come back.  I assume he did not count how many trees he took down and I also assume that he did not count how many stumps were delivered to him, so I am not sure what his purpose for coming back would be, except to delay this whole matter further.  The bottom line is that he did not complete the job according to his written contract and I had to subsequently bring someone else in.  I also understand that he's been commenting to several people regarding this matter which makes me wonder about a defamation claim to ad to all of this.  In any case, [redacted] is responsible for the charges incurred and that is the bottom line as far as I am concerned.

I can not come to any conclusions until I see what was actually  removed from the site. My recollection and [redacted] vary.
I know she doesn't want me there as much as I don't want to go there, but I have know way of making a rational rebuttal until I have a chance to review the work.
Please advise.

[redacted].
I was unable to open the attachments prior to my response requesting to review [redacted] invoice. After posting my request to review it the attachments drop down box became available. Perhaps a program flaw I'm not sure. I was able to review that invoice and have more questions in light of it.
 
I offered to cover the expense of moving the stumps from the [redacted]' woods to my yard not knowing what that amount was until now. [redacted] refused that offer.
 
I now request to revisit her site while accompanied by [redacted] because I recently learned that all stumps from the [redacted] yard were removed. Refer to my response about prior clearing from another contractor that left a large pile of stumps behind.
 
IF in fact that pile of stumps was removed,and I'm told they were, I am NOT responsible for their removal nor am I obligated for their proper disposal. By my calculations, again going by what I was told and not having witnessed, I would only by responsible for half of the overall stumps that were removed. Therefore my offer of paying the full $280 for removal and trucking is now cut in half. Further more I charge $300 per load to take in and dispose of stumps as it is a costly and time consuming process that burns a lot of fuel in two very large pieces of equipment.
 
[redacted] should have accepted my offer of paying for the stumps. I would have paid the $280 in full without the knowledge of knowing I took in the first contractors stumps as well. She would have been ahead of the game. But because she kept pushing asking me to pay for more than I am responsible for I have investigated further and learned the truth.
 
So to conclude I offer to pay half of the stump removal $280/2= $140 but now she has acquired an expense of disposal of 3.5 loads of stumps from the first contractor. 3.5 loads x $300 per load =$1050-$140=$910 she now owes me. She should've taken the first offer.
 
I am willing again to go the extra mile and forgive the $910 just to make her stop with this ridiculousness. I should be accepting a charitable contribution from [redacted] place in that amount but I'm fairly sure that will never happen.
 
I am a fair contractor with integrity but when I feel as though I'm getting pushed around for something that holds no merit I stand firm. Don't most people?

Thank you in advance [redacted] for you help in resolving this...

issue,
As you can see from the emails this has gone on for some time and I grow tired of it all. There are statements in [redacted] complaint that are not factual at all.
The original access to the area she wanted cleared was looked at, talked about, and decided upon weeks prior to our arrival, but that changed as soon as we showed up on site. We were to gain access past her house down a road to her out buildings. It would have provided a nice level area for us to stage a chipper and log truck to perform the work. [redacted] told me upon arriving we couldn't use that access because she got her small [redacted] stuck there a few days before. Ok what's plan "B" well we could move your car port, cut these four to five ash trees,(not birches) and come up that steep hill. This enabled us to avoid driving over her septic fields which [redacted] helped us map out, but puts the majority of our work in direct line of the curtain drains surrounding her house. She authorized the cutting of the extra trees excited it would give her more free parking. She stated my guys just randomly cut these trees without her knowledge. Not the case at all.
I'm only mentioning this because there are other examples of this back and forth "he said she said" throughout this entire dialog.
So my resolution is simple and I had already agreed to it months ago. When conditions were conducive I would return to remove the stumps, but only with the presence of [redacted], the "finish contractor". Remember I am only providing a rough grade after land clearing, nothing "nicey nice", her words not mine, another misconception. I did not want to be on site without another outside party involved, fearing more twisted, misconstrued, antics would otherwise make matters worse.
[redacted] contacted me a few weeks back and asked me if he brought the stumps to my yard would I accept them. Allowing me the responsibility of their final disposal or processing. I agreed to take them in which I did. I believe I counted seven loads. He told me he would take care of it. I was waiting to hear from him to see if I owed him anything for getting them out her woods into my yard. I still haven't heard if I owe him a favor or I need to pay him. So I figured I was all done with [redacted], until I got this E mail. If[redacted] charged her for removal of the stumps I agree to reimburse that expense only.
I have paid the service tax on her job approximately $282 dollars, lowering the initial job from $3000 to $2718.
I originally left her three cords of wood and later returned with 3/4 of a log truck more.
I have taken in all the stumps from the clearing job I did and possibly more from her prior land clearing job that were left behind from another contractor that cleared some of her land.
I offered to cover any expense incurred by [redacted] in transportation of said stumps.
All I've gotten in return is defamation of character and bad taste in my mouth. So if anyone feels as though they've been wronged here it would be me.

Review: [redacted], owner of Maximum Tree Service, and I agreed on services to be performed. A written contract was submitted to me by him. He did not complete the work he stated that he would (as written in the contract). I eventually had to pay for someone else to do the work he stated, in writing, that he would perform. I have a collection of emails and pictures as well as the original contract and the paid bill for the other person who came in to do the work [redacted] was supposed to do.Desired Settlement: I wish to be reimbursed by [redacted] for the amount I had to pay to have the work done that he stated in writing he would do. Total amount came to $1030.00 to finish what [redacted] said he'd do. Contacted him starting on 04-20-14 and continued until 07-16-14. I have all emails.
