I got to know Firefighter Tree Service through my friends who highly recommended Dennis (the owner) and his team.
Since 2016, Dennis has been my go-to person when tree service is needed. Dennis's team has done a perfect job every single time. They have short waiting time, work efficiently, and make the site clean upon finishing the job.
Our recent project was complicated. Dennis was very patient with us and visited the site multiple times without accepting any fees from us. Once the plan was finalized, his team came the next day and completed the job perfectly as always.
If you need any tree work done, call Dennis. He will not let you down.Helpful 0Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - Mar 24, 2024
AMAZING! We had an emergency where our tree fell onto our neighbor's property yesterday while we were out of town so we frantically called tree removal services for help on a Saturday afternoon. Dennis and his crew truly saved the day and were so kind/prompt etc. Highly recommend!!!!!

I found Dennis and company to be very responsive and very easy to work with. Not only that, they arrived early and finished efficiently. They seem highly experienced.
I didn't bother to go get other estimates, and I called him first. However a gap of time went by as I got busy with other things, but when I texted him he remembered quickly even though there wasn't anything special about this job. I was definitely impressed.Helpful 0Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - Pete F.Menlo Park, CA015Apr 12, 2023
We had two redwood trees come crashing onto our house during the March 2023 'bomb cyclone' event, punching a hole through our roof. Dennis and his team had served us well 3 times before this, removing a large spruce and pruning our live oaks and valley oak, so I knew who to call.
Dennis came out within 2 hours, and Miguel and his 7-man team were on site the very next morning. They skillfully removed the redwoods, piece-by-piece, without damaging the house further. (Remarkably, they did so without the use of a crane or other heavy equipment!) Additionally, they removed a birch tree that had been damaged badly by the redwoods.
The team completed the job in a single day, chipping or hauling the debris and cleaning up nicely. Our insurance agent was amazed at their very reasonable price, calling it the lowest he'd seen in the area for this type of work.
I could not recommend them more highly.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - Dec 23, 2022
The Good - Dennis is a great communicator and really friendly to work with. His quote was the most affordable (saved $600+) when compared to four other quotes we received. A crew of 6 guys worked quickly and finished the job in less than 4 hours. Other contractors predicted 1-2 full days to complete the same job. The yard was clean and everything was off-hauled.
The Bad - Maybe because they worked so fast, but there were some things missed. They completely missed a stump that was part of the scope to grind. They had started to clean up, we reminded them there was one left, and they got back to work. Also, some large roots were not removed/grinded, which we eventually had to dig and pull out ourselves. That's the main reason this isn't a 5 star review.
Overall, we would still recommend and call them again for future needs.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - P T.San Mateo, CA03Feb 19, 2024
On time, professional, clean, neat, and most importantly..... true to his word! Try to find this type of service anywhere else in California. Good luck.

UPDATED! I wanted to add to my original review of Dennis, Miguel, and Fire Fighters Tree Services. I called them back in for another job today (Feb. 24, 2023) and they did ANOTHER TERRIFIC JOB!! They were in and out, on a sizable front and back yard job, in under 3 hours. Miguel had his team humming. Everything was planned well and executed to perfection.
Dennis was again quick to answer the call for quote and gave me a tremendous price. This team is great.
I can't recommend these guys any higher! If YELP had more stars, this team would get the max. Use them.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Oct 3, 2018Previous reviewI've been meaning to get around to this for a while.
Dennis and his team descended on our place on the 28th of July this year to remove a large poplar, a dead birch, and to trim up a VERY tall Monterey Cyprus and a shocked Black Walnut. The work was beautifully executed and done in an unbelievable short amount of time. I had doubts when he said they'd be done in 4 hours, but they proved me wrong!
Dennis was very quick to reply for a quote request and was even quicker to schedule it. He was very professional and upfront with his costs and defining the scope of work he'd perform. His rates were very competitive too.
I strongly recommend Dennis and his team. Not to mention, Miquel, Dennis' right hand man, was a tremendous leader and really friendly guy. He was able to direct the team (at least 8) to safely and quickly get the work done. Use them! - Caio S.Redwood City, CA31132Apr 4, 2023
One of our neighbor's large trees was partially uprooted during bad weather and in danger of falling on our house. So we contacted Firefighter Tree Service. Dennis (the owner) came to give us an estimate the same day, which was amazing because bad weather had caused downed trees everywhere! So they had to be super busy. Given the danger, they fit us in on very short notice a few days later. Dennis even came by the house a couple of times in between to check on the tree. So thoughtful and caring!
On the day of the work, they showed up early and worked incredibly fast. They even kept working through the heavy rain! Miguel led the crew in cutting the trees down. They worked well together and were cautious with our property. They also cleaned everything up before leaving. Pricing was great too, in comparison to other competitors. Huge props to these guys, high quality and customer service. Thanks!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - David A.Redwood City, CA1143Feb 7, 2024
On Sunday morning, after all the rain and with heavy winds, I noticed our cypress tree swaying heavily toward our neighbor's house. I called Firefighter, and in about an hour, Dennis was out to look at it. Within forty minutes, he had a crew of five starting to remove the tree. Dennis was experienced and comforting. The four guys on the ground were hard-working and efficient. Miguel was a hero up there in a swaying tree professionally removing branch after branch until the tree was gone. Professional, quick, and clean. As I told Dennis, he now has a customer for life.

The crew and Dennis and Miguel were prompt and polite and removed two trees quickly and efficiently. They cleaned up afterward. Good work all around. I'd definitely use them again.
