  This man Allen that owns Good Ol’ Boys is unreliable, unprofessional, disrespectful and a liar!
  After hurricane Helene knocked over 2 trees in my yard my landlord called him and asked him to come and do whatever needed done to make this home safe for me. The was here in about 2 hours which we both appreciated. They discussed everything and landlord left to handle other properties telling me trees are secure, they just ran out to grab lunch, they’re coming right back. Well 5 1/2 hours later they returned to work 1 hour and then it was too dark to work. That should have been our sign. But we were understanding, there’s been a hurricane, everyone needs help. The 3 day job took 4 1/2 weeks because he never showed up before 12, took lunch at 1pm till 3, worked till 7. From 12-1 they were setting up equipment. That’s 4 hours of work which he called 7!! Then wouldn’t return for a week. He ended up not completing the job which he was paid for in full! And my poor landlord had to hire another person to come and finish. Why was he paid? First was deposit, then crying about truck part he couldn’t afford, etc. Then told landlord he was done when he went to his home to take wood from the trees and showed pics of just a pile of firewood being left for me. By then we were all drained and tired of dealing with him and just grateful to be done with him. Landlord took him at his word and the “ pictures” he showed. There were still 4 huge logs as well as 5 big 3’ tall stumps in my yard. He is a ***** *** * ***** Beware this NOT SO GOOD Good Ol’ Boy tree service!

  I met with Allen ***** and his crew to discuss taking down two dead trees and clearing a slight hill at the corner of the woods, and use an excavator to dig out the corner where I needed more room, this is a small area. Initially Allen said he charges 3,000 per day and the job would take three days to complete. He then called his son Trevor over and asked him what he thought they should charge, Trevor immediately said 2,000. Allen drew up the estimate and had me sign. After looking more closely at the estimate, he had written 3,000 instead of the agreed upon 2,000. He also required a 2,000 deposit, i.e., one day advance payment. Considering the deposit was 2K, I again am under the impression that he is charging me 2K per day.
  Good Ole Boys completed the job, we discussed additional work and I told him I didn't have the funds to clear the remainder of my driveway as I was focussing on other projects at my home. Also, he was pressuring me to have him cut down another dead tree that is at the edge of the property. Again, I reiterated that my funds were being directed to my home.
  He did the additional work without my consent and without discussing and agreeing upon scope and cost, then sent me a bill via text message for 3,000 the very next day. I responded that I would like to discuss billing with him. He sent a barrage of photos and videos of the work he had done. When we finally discussed the billing he denied the "bait and switch" on the estimate and told me I owed him an additional 3,000 for the unapproved work. If I failed to pay him what he demanded I would be sued and a lien would be placed on my property. He even resorted to name calling. Wow, what an unprofessional business and shady business practices.
  I am a senior and feel that I have been hoodwinked and bullied. Beware of this man, he is not the "Good Ole Boy" he wants you to think he is, all he wants is your money.
