Tomahawk Tree Service

Tree Chipping Extortion

Roswell, Georgia, 30075

Let it be known that Tomahawk Tree Service out of Roswell is a scam. They are extremely unprofessional and WAY overpriced. They were asked to quote tree cleanup for two fallen trees. Other companies quoted $700....they quoted $1200.

We refused their service and now they want to charge a 20% cancellation fee for work THEY DIDN'T EVEN DO. They then referred to the back of a contract that wasn't shown or explained when signing for the quote. SCAM COMPANY! Their 50% off tactic is meant to issue a quote and make you unknowingly commit to overpriced work.

The manager said that he is not a majority sharholder and has no authority to revoke the cancellation fees. The real owner lives in Venezuela. The local manager attempted to settle the matter by requiring me to pay the bill first (for work that wasn't performed) and then he would personally attempt to cut the remaining tree himself (approximately 7 cuts for $240) IF he could find a chainsaw and IF he felt that he was capable.

When I asked him to put it in writing he refused saying that his promise was his bond and that if I couldn't take a verbal promise that I "had trust issues." When I inquired about liability insurance and consequences for failure to complete the work he became agitated.

I then disclosed that the conversation was being recorded and he became beligerent and hung up.

Business who operate in shady manners like this must be exposed.
