I had a disastrous experience with this young man and his friend who helped him out. Took a deposit and then never showed up, until I turned the heat up. It was one problem and excuse after the next. The job finally got done after a month of threatening letters and phone calls and texts...none of which I had time for. In the end it cost me more with damage to my roof and garage due to limbs falling than it was worth.

NEVER EVER EVER call Jamie Swenson Tree Service to do work for you. He had great reviews on Google, came out, and quoted me a a great price on hauling away one fallen tree, and cutting down three others. He was four hours late, but kept texting me that he was 30 minutes away (should have been the first sign). He finally showed up, and quoted me $1,150 for all the work. I agreed to the price, and paid a $250 deposit. The next day, he sent me a text asking for an additional $150 due to his truck breaking down. I informed him, no more would be paid until work was complete. I never heard from him again after that. I did some research, and found he's been running the same scam all over Richmond. He's even been on the news at 6, numerous times. The man is nothing but a con artist. Please pass this along to anyone you know! Jamie, I see youve responded to another person you scammed recently. If you read this, DO NOT contact me, or attempt to do the work. I have zero faith in your ability to perform the work required. If you show up on my property, the police will be called.

Jamie Swenson stole from me. I needed a tree trimmed urgently at a rental property to satisfy my insurance provider, who had driven by and said I was out of compliance since the branch touched the house. I contacted Jamie and he said it could be done the next morning. He agreed to the price I was hoping for if it was paid in cash. I was not in town, and my tenant was not going to be present either, but the job really needed to be done so I sent Jamie the money via Paypal the night before. He did not do it. I kept following up. After a week or 2, he replied to an email saying that it would be done the next morning. He did not show up again. Then he went completely dark. After 3-4 weeks of leaving voicemails and sending texts / emails, I had run out of any ability to keep my insurance company at bay. Consequently I scheduled another company to come trim the tree. I paid them 1.5x the price I established with Jamie (which is what I should have just done from the beginning). I left Jamie a few more unrequited voicemails/emails/texts and then visited Jamie's Cutshaw Ave "business address" to try to recoup my money. It turned out to be a vacant house - and I just wrote it off as a loss.
