We hired Dale to cut down a tree. He never came on time and after 2 or 3 days the tree was still not finished. He advised he would be out the next morning to finish. We were leaving for vacation the next day and told him we would leave the payment under the mat on the front porch. When we got back home a few days later the check was gone and the tree still there. That has been over three weeks ago and it is still there( about 8 feet of it). We have called several times and are told he will be out to finish the job. Now he blocks are calls. He is not trust worthy or reliable. We went to him because the cost was reasonable. Well, you get what you pay for. We were even going to have him do other work for us, however we will pay someone else to do it. Think twice before hiring him.
