I had been considering buying a semi load of firewood for our outdoor wood boiler for some time. I just recently learned that your company offers this service so I thought I would call for more info. I was very happy with the friendly office staff and the price. The wood was delivered when promised and I am very happy with the quality of the wood. Hats off to your driver Roman, he stacked the logs exactly where I wanted them. He is clearly a professional. I will definitely be a repeat customer when I need wood again.

Derring gave me an approximate time to remove a tree from my yard, and an estimate. Because I was starting a construction project, I called back to attempt to get a date of service. I was told late next week. They did not show up, and did not respond to any further texts or phone calls.

Deering Tree Service was easy and honest to work with from the beginning. They did a great job and cleared out a group of dead/dying trees that were dangerously close to my home. 5 Stars all the way! Thank you!!
