FAQ

"On several occasions we've needed help with tree removal on our properties, and have called on Top Notch's services. Brady and his crew are highly skilled and attentive to detail. They have always come promptly and do an exceptional job. Loretta has always been highly communicative and billing has been done accurately, and with a personal touch. We have always felt the Chapmans are professional, reliable, honest and caring. Their prices are reasonable, and their customer service is absolutely the best ever. Top Notch is the only tree service we trust."

"Outstanding! Brady and his team at Top Notch lived up to their name. Over the last 12 years our view slowly diminished as trees grew up around our property. Brady met with us prior to arrival to plan the cutting and explain their services. On the day, Brady and his team arrived with all the correct equipment and experience to open up our view again. His team worked safely and efficiently to complete the job over a couple of days. We were impressed with the thought taken as they carefully selected each tree rather than leaving us with a barren clear cut. Brady, Lorretta and their crew were very professional and pleasure to deal with and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for top notch service."

"I was very pleased with the recent services of Brady Chapman and the Top Notch Tree Service. I had a very large pine, 130 feet tall, which the crew was safely able to remove. It was a double pine and at high risk of falling, if we had a heavy wind. Brady is very careful with his staff, following safety precautions on every step of the tree removal. It was amazing to see Brady in treetop and lining down the branches. And they cleaned up my yard following the removal of the tree. I was very pleased with their services and will hire them again, if I need tree removal."

"I have been utilizing Top Notch Tree Service for several years. I could not be more pleased with the work of Tom Notch. Brady and his team have literally created a landscaped vista throughout my property. His approach to pruning, tree thinning and thoughtful view creation is second to none in Western Maine."

"Our camp had far too many white pines for our liking and they were destroying our place due to mold and lichen. Brady Chapman was recommended to us by a neighbor so we called him. He got back to us in 15 minutes and was promptly on time when he came to do the estimate and on-time when he came to do the job.

To say he's an artist, when it comes to tree work, would be an understatement. He climbs a tree like a squirrel and has moves like an olympic gymnast when he's up there ducking the branches as they are cut and drop.

Brady limbbed a 150'+ tall 3' in diameter white pine to about 125' feet up in less than 5 minutes, then topped it, climbed down another 30' and took another topping. The entire tree was dropped, limbed, chipped and the logs moved onto a trailer in less than 20 minutes. It was one of the most amazing things I've ever witnessed by any arborist. Brady has also invested heavily into the right equipment and has cut no corners. This last time he showed up with two massive chippers and catch dump trucks, a Vermeer track drive log mover, a massive trailer for hauling the logs off and a plethora of climbing gear, arborists ropes, blocks/tackle, rakes, brooms, leaf-blowers trash cans and about ten different saws etc...

I've paid for a lot of tree work during my life and no one has done a better, cleaner and faster job than Brady and his crew. He puts guys in the Portland area to shame who spend most of the day leaning on trees and charging you an arm and a leg. As a business owner myself I wish I could get my own guys to work together like Brady's team. They are fast, efficient and work in harmony. When Brady & crew left our property, it was cleaner than when he and the guys arrived. No attention to detail was missed and the results far exceeded our expectations. He's done tree work now for us two times, and there will be a third!"

“Our experIence with Top Notch began when we phoned for a estimate to take down two large trees. Brady stopped by and we discussed what we were looking for and I showed him the trees we wanted down. We received a timely estimate, insurance certificate and contract (if we accepted the estimate) to sign. We accepted the estimate and an appointment was made. The crew came as promised, they were efficient, careful, hardworking and happy. They took great care of the grounds and cleaned up beautifully. Great experience!”

"We have worked with Top Notch Tree Service many times over the last ten years. In that time we have asked them to do large tree removal from very challenging locations, aesthetic trimming and thinning, and tree health care. We have never been anything but thrilled with the results. Brady and his team are remarkably skilled, highly professional, unbelievably neat and unfailingly courteous. We couldn’t recommend Top Notch more highly."

"I have been using Top Notch Tree Service about once per year for the past 4-5 years to remove a number of large trees from my property as well as to clean up the dead branches from quite a few tall pines that surround our yard. Brady Chapman and his team do a thorough job of cutting, chipping and removing all debris, leaving the job site very clean at the end of the project. The Company has all the equipment needed to do a professional job and Brady’s work is excellent. Watching him shoot up and down these huge trees, cutting the branches as he goes is an amazing sight.

I would recommend Top Notch for any tree removal job – large or small.
