Mike’s Stump Removal

I had a 5 stumps that I needed removed. I found Mike’s Stump Removal here on Unilocal.Quick phone call and voicemail left with them. Andy returned my call shortly thereafter and agreed to come out the following day.
Andy showed up on time and looked at the job. He quoted me a great price and started immediately. Andy did a great job, worked very quickly and was very professional. I couldn’t be happier with the service and price.
Highly recommended.

I had a small project and found it difficult to get large companies to respond. I contacted Mike’s via email and Andy responded right away. He came right out to assess the job, gave me a great price and returned a few days later, on schedule, to complete the work. I’m very satisfied and it’s always nice to spend money locally with hard working small businesses.

In spite of 9 5 star reviews of this guy, I give him one based on the fact that he did not even answer TWO attempts to set an appointment for a simple estimate. My guess is he saw that my job is small by my description in the e-​mail I initially sent and blew me off. I don’t care HOW good he may be at doing the work, that is LOUSY customer service and consideration and a good indication of his professional ethics and standards.
There are a number of more considerate people and companies out there that value and appreciate EVERYONE that is interested in their business!
PS — I KNOW that my e-​mails were delivered and Mike’s own website encourages customers to e-​mail him

Mike’s was considerably cheaper then some of the other local tree companies and it was definitely cheaper then renting a grinder and dealing with a scary piece of machinery. Andy came by the same day I called and asked for a quote. The job was done the following day with no issues. Highly recommend if you want to hire someone nice and professional.

I looked around a little before hiring Mike’s Stump Removal, not only to get a good price but also because I like to educate myself about the costs and logistics of a project. Well, I am glad I did.
I often feel insulted by companies who come to my house, see a little lady and a big yard and immediately conclude that I must be either dumb or have a wallet the size of my yard…
Well, Andy surprised me in a good way. His quote was almost half of what I received from competitors. He took the time to drive to the property at the back of ours to check for easier access (we live on a hillside). He was friendly and courteous. Really a pleasure to work with. The job wasn’t easy: 4 oak stumps (2 big stumps almost touching our house) and a big staircase to climb to get there.
Andy was done in 2 ½ to 3 hours. Pretty impressive and all this with a smile.

This review is long overdue. I was looking for someone to remove a large Cypress stump in my front yard and was having a difficult time finding someone who would come to San Francisco for such a small job. He arrived on time. Did a great job in a tight space and cleaned up afterward. His price was very reasonable and I would definitely hire him again.

I initially hired We Care Tree Care to do some tree pruning and a stump removal. The tree pruning was fine, the stump removal was a fiasco. We ended up dumping them and used Mike. Much more professional and CHEAPER as it turned out.

Gave a reasonable estimate quickly. Arrived on time. Completed the work to satisfaction. Charming. Professional. Would definitely use again.

Had 5 stumps that lingered in the backyard for the longest time. Called Mikes and left a message. Called me the next day, spoke briefly, he came over straight away and knocked all out within the hour. Unbelievable. Impressive equipment, no haggling, just got in, got the job done at a price I couldn’t even rent the equipment to do it myself with. All in all if I could encourage more people to use guys like Mikes then I’d be happy. A great experience, thank you.
Oh one more thing, at the end of the job, I pointed to some nuisance bamboo creeping over from my neighbors yard — a present if you will. Asked if his machine could rip into that, no problem. Others would bemoan added work, but a few more bucks and my problem was gone in minutes. Great experience all round. Thanks again.

I highly recommend this service! I called in the morning and they were here within an hour. They did a great job removing two stumps and even cleaned up afterward. Very professional and very reasonably priced. I would definitely hire them again!

Good guy,
He arrived a little on the late side but he removed a stump in the back within 10 minutes. I’ll probably have him come back and remove a stump in our front yard soon.
Cost + time was stellar.

I had three stumps to remove and two were very close to fences. Andrew Martinez came and quoted (lowest of three quotes) then returned when he said he would to efficiently remove the three stumps.
I had considered hiring a stump grinder, but probably wouldn’t save many $ and certainly a lot less hassle.

We have a yucca plant that kept coming back no matter what, so I finally called Mike to eradicate it for life. I left a message asking him to come by. He called back soon after and stopped by to give an estimate the same day. It was a third of the quote we got from a general yard service. I happened to be home so he just did it right then and cleaned up after, all within an hour. I felt such a sense of accomplishment.
