Business ProfileforGood OL Boys Tree Service

I met with Allen ***** and his crew to discuss taking down two dead trees and clearing a slight hill at the corner of the woods, and use an excavator to dig out the corner where I needed more room, this is a small area. Initially Allen said he charges 3,000 per day and the job would take three days to complete. He then called his son Trevor over and asked him what he thought they should charge, Trevor immediately said 2,000. Allen drew up the estimate and had me sign. After looking more closely at the estimate, he had written 3,000 instead of the agreed upon 2,000. He also required a 2,000 deposit, i.e., one day advance payment. Considering the deposit was 2K, I again am under the impression that he is charging me 2K per day. Good Ole Boys completed the job, we discussed additional work and I told him I didn't have the funds to clear the remainder of my driveway as I was focussing on other projects at my home. Also, he was pressuring me to have him cut down another dead tree that is at the edge of the property. Again, I reiterated that my funds were being directed to my home. He did the additional work without my consent and without discussing and agreeing upon scope and cost, then sent me a bill via text message for 3,000 the very next day. I responded that I would like to discuss billing with him. He sent a barrage of photos and videos of the work he had done. When we finally discussed the billing he denied the "bait and switch" on the estimate and told me I owed him an additional 3,000 for the unapproved work. If I failed to pay him what he demanded I would be sued and a lien would be placed on my property. He even resorted to name calling. Wow, what an unprofessional business and shady business practices. I am a senior and feel that I have been hoodwinked and bullied. Beware of this man, he is not the "Good Ole Boy" he wants you to think he is, all he wants is your money.
