Not Trustworthy:
I was very disappointed with Just-In-Time Tree Service. I received a bid for tree work for my back yard. Justin's bid was within $100 of two other bidders, so his price seemed reasonable and I thought he seemed like a nice guy, and trustworthy. We told him we wanted him to do the job, but he then was unable to do it for about 2-3 weeks due to weather (out of our control) and then due to his having taken on other smaller jobs. When he finally did show up, he told my wife that it would now cost us $1100 (yes, eleven hundred) more to do the job because he had originally given us his "winter" rates, and it was now "spring". Needless to say, my wife said no, and that we will use someone else. When my wife told me about this I tried to contact Justin to get an explanation of why he would not honor his original bid, but he refused to return my calls. However, there were some tornadoes that caused damage in the Arlington area during that 2-3 week interval, so I guess he feels like he can charge whatever he wants since there are a lot of people with damaged trees and whose insurance companies will pick up the tab. He clearly has no problem jacking up his rates to rip off people when the work is plentiful. Don't use his services, or trust his bids.
