Sanchez Tree Service

Very fast, good clean up and felt we got it at a good price based on work and risk. They needed a job that day and ours probably ate up 2 hours alone with about 8 people. They ended up getting work from two of our neighbors after as well! No damage or anything to our house/​fence/​cables etc they are good at what they do.

BE WARNED.
I’ve read these other reviews and yes, Sanchez Tree Service works hard. They work fast. And yes, they certainly know how to take down big trees quickly and safely!
HOWEVER, Sanchez has done a lot of work in our subdivision in the past several months and I feel compelled to write a review to tell you that we have had complaints from several people, including SENIORS and their families who were very upset and said they were TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF by Sanchez, being charged WAY more for work than what others in the neighborhood were charged for similar work. There were plenty of people in the neighborhood who had work done to compare to.
They told an elderly neighbor that a tree was ill in needed to be removed, so he paid thousands for the removal and to have some other trees trimmed, but there didn’t appear to be anything wrong with the tree they said was ill and needed to be removed.
They climbed other healthy trees with spikes that left huge shredded rips in the trunks. So, potentially these other healthy trees have been damaged or killed.
Importantly, they left stumps (which they charge quite a bit extra to grind/​remove) and huge messes for days at several houses in our subdivision, meanwhile soliciting new business and starting new work. One neighbor had trunks and branches all over with trees half cut down — and there they are knocking on doors and starting work a couple houses down. Days are passing — still starting other jobs… while this huge mess is sitting right next to a house that was for sale.
Someone recently said Sanchez still has not completed work at their home but they have already been paid. I recommend that if you do hire them, that you WITHOLD all or HALF of the payment until the work is completed to your satisfaction.
One last thing: this company has been in our subdivision on several occasions without a required permit, despite being told they need one. I believe our city runs background checks on solicitors before granting permits so perhaps they don’t want background checks or just don’t want to take the time/​money to get a permit. So, you might want to ask if they do have one to solicit/​perform work in your city.
Again, while some people in our neighborhood were perfectly happy with the work Sanchez did, a significant number were very unhappy and I thought it only fair that some of these 5-​star reviews be balanced out with another perspective and experience.

These guys are awesome.
They were in the neighborhood and Chadd, the sales guy, came by to see if we needed any work. We told him we sure did and we agreed to a very aggressive cleaning of a lot of junk trees and brush, cutting down several trees (including a 150 foot white pine) and trimming dead branches from several huge oaks.
The team showed up the next morning and they worked hard for about five hours. They did all we agreed to and much more, even hanging an owl house for us in a tree off our patio and stringing a ham radio antenna wire for me.
They hauled away everything and cleaned up perfectly.
I have had lots of tree service folks over the years. Hands down, these guys were the absolute best.

We hired Sanchez Tree Service to remove 4 Maple Oaks from our property, 3 of them were very massive. Based on the reviews I read on here, we didn’t include stump removal. The salesman Terry was very nice to deal with and offered to do the job that day. The crew arrived around 12:30 and finished the job by 5 — these were MASSIVE trees. My husband and I were VERY impressed. They obviously have a lot of experience in this business. We had no problems, no branches fell on our home, they cleaned up well, and we are very happy with the results! I won’t hesitate to recommend Sanchez Tree Service to family and friends, their prices are very reasonable.

My experience with this company:
A huge storm knocked over a tree and within 30 minutes of the storm calming down, a sales person from the company named Rich came up to our door and talked to my dad who was visiting from California.
We decided to use their service and within an hour, the workers got to work removing the tree. They were FAST. It was awesome.
When they were done, I noticed they hadn’t removed the stump. We asked when they were going to remove the stump, the worker said that they needed to rent special equipment but there was nothing they can do now but they can do it in a few days.
Note: My dad told me that when they spoke, Rich agreed on stump removal. But I wasn’t there during the conversation.
Before we handed them the check for the full amount, I decided to call Rich and see when the stump removal was going to happen. When I got a hold of him, he said that he hadn’t agreed with my dad on stump removal BUT he would take care of it. He told me just to pay the guy the full amount. I agreed no problem.
Sweet. So far so good. Great service thus far. Very trustworthy. Right?
Well, they didn’t come in a few days to remove the stump. I’ve left 2 voicemails to Rich to schedule a stump removal. And so far, Rich and he hasn’t returned any of my calls or answered his phone.
As of writing this: I can’t get a hold of Rich to discuss the removal a stump.
So here are the bullet points:
— The workers who removed the tree were AWESOME. Super professional and amazing. They removed my tree in the friggin rain! Extra star for that.
— The agreement of whether or not stump removal was included: It was between my dad and Rich and their stories had discrepancies. I don’t actually know whose story is true. I wasn’t a part of the conversation.
— Despite the discrepancy, Rich offered to remove our tree stump (which was nice) and told us to pay the invoice in full. BUT he hasn’t (not very nice).
— Rich hasn’t returned my phone calls after leaving him a few voicemails.
I’m sure guys are fantastic to work with most of the time. I just wanted to share my experience. I’ll update this review if they end up contacting me.

Have used Sanchez twice now. First time they were in our neighborhood and asked about a dead ash tree. Since they were already there and I wanted to keep a ‘totem pole’ of 20′ of tree, they gave me a great price. The branches were in some utility lines so that is why I had them do it, they were in and out in under 1 hour! The tree was taller than our 2 story house. I think they did it for $ 400 and I gave them a $ 100 tip.
Second time the huge willow in the front yard cracked around the trunk where it split into 3 trunks and there were large branches hanging over the house. Other companies were quoting $ 2500+, Sanchez did it for $ 1800 in one day with a stump grind the next day. I believe we gave them an extra $ 100 or two for that job too. Terry makes sure the tips get distributed to the crew, he was a great salesman.
I do not recall them taking credit cards, but they did take a check.

We had Sanchez Tree service out to our house today and they did an amazing job!!!
They showed up exactly when they said they would, cut down 9 pine trees, trimmed a hugh willow tree, and did lots of clean up of trees that had already fallen. They worked quickly and got the job done in record time at an excellent price. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs some trees trimmed or cut down!

DO NOT USE THIS UNRELIABLE and FRAUDULENT COMPANY
On July 30, 2012 my elderly parents were approached by a salesperson from this tree service. Sanchez Tree Service had a crew in my parent’s neighborhood, and my parents needed a tree taken down. The salesperson (Jaque) quoted my parents a price of $ 1500 for the removal of a large maple tree. The quote included removal of the tree and branches, yard clean-​up, and removal of the stump. Sanchez Tree Service employees proceeded to cut the maple tree down, they removed the trunk and branches, cleaned up the yard, and advised my parents that they would be back the following Sunday to remove the stump. This is now over a month ago, and the company has yet to return to remove the stump. Furthermore, my parent’s next door neighbor also utilized the service, and the stump in the neighbor’s yard has not removed yet. Additionally, my elderly father has made contact with the company’s office (Claudia) and the salesperson (Jaque), and both person’s have given him the run-​around. I have now become involved and will be assisting my parents in filing a small claims suit for $ 1500 for service that were not completed.
My advice is to not use this company for tree removal, as they are unreliable, and will take your money without completing the project.

I had some trees cut down today. Sanchez gave me the best quote, did the job I asked for, and were both prompt and efficient. Salesman Terry (248−770−1372) was very cordial and stayed throughout the process to assist where necessary.
I highly recommend them for service. My brother and I have used them in the past and have always had positive results.
Their coverage includes all areas from Lansing to Saginaw, the Thumb, all of Oakland, Macomb and St. Clair counties. With 4 crews, they are able to schedule your job quickly.
If you need tree trimming or tree removal, these are the guys for the job.
