I have 3 old box elders, with cracked branches that overhang a house and parking lot where 3 families park. We noticed the branches on June 6, I called around to see about estimates. June 8 a guy came out, gave me a quote and I agreed (no contact, just go home and look at schedule and call me with a date). I waited and had not heard from him in 3 weeks. My son told be about a guy in the next town over so I called him and he came and gave me an estimate on June 29. Said he could do it Wednesday, had some bad weather and called to postpone to Thursday (today) and showed up at 7:30 and got started. 9:00 I get a voicemail from original estimate guy that he can come tomorrow! Is this normal? I feel bad that I went with someone else but he didn’t call me for almost 4 weeks and I have critical branches that one good storm would bring down.

I have a couple trees on the rental property that need to be cut down. We’ve lost branches (tenant notified me) and have a couple of severe cracks that a good storm can take down. I got an estimate today and tree guy can start next week( 1 weeks notice) I notified the tenant so they could move their stuff out of the way, including vehicles. Tenant said that won’t work for him because he has to leave out of town and has to leave his vehicles parked. He leaves 🍃 n 5 days and there is street parking. I’m thinking a week’s notice is sufficient, am I out of line thinking that?
