Tree service Companies

Can anyone recommend a good company to remove 2 downed trees.
I am in Gilford and during yesteredays storm 2, 100ft trees came down across my driveway and are resting on my deck. I have a little damage to the house also. I guess it is time to start fighting with the insurance company.
Thanks in advance for any leads you can give me

We've used Don's Tree Service in Gilford a number of times and they've been excellent. It's a family business and they have a crane if necessary to remove large trees. Their phone number is (603) 524-7720.

I agree wholeheartedly with DRH - we have used Don Dockham, as have most of our neighbors, and he is the best.

I'd also recommend Don's Tree Service. They removed several large (75 foot+) trees from between several cottages here at Sandy Point and they did a great job without much maneuvering space and did a great job of cleaning up the site afterwards.

Thanks to all who recommended Dons Tree Service.
However I am wondering if there are any other recomendations?
I have called Dons 3 times this week and left messages and I still can't even get a call back. I have had trees down on my property and on my deck for a week now, I kind of expected a return call, I expect they are pretty busy but a return call shouldn't be too much to expect. Should it?

I had the exact problem with him. I called 3 or 4 times and never got a return call. I have no idea where you are located, but if your around the Alton New Durham area try Bruce Waterman Tree Service. He answered right away and did an excellent job of removing 11 trees for me. His number is 776-6127

How much did it cost to have trees cut down?

ITD, to have the 11 trees cut down, de-limbed, brush chipped up and all good burning size cut into 4 foot lenghts and left for me was $700. I didn't even hesitate, just said go to it.
