"My driveway looks really good after Titan Excavating got it re-rocked. Very nice people , excellent work. They great when my drive required extra work because I'd measured my drive short so needed another load of rock."

"We had Klinger Kustoms come out to cut down a dead tree near our ally that was going to fall. It was about to come down we thought that’s why we called and he left sight he was on to come to us quick making us a priority over what he was doing since ours was a danger. Him and his helper were quick and fast I highly recommend him"

"I had a new electrical service installed and needed the old weatherhead removed and flashing installed around the new conduit and the place where the old conduit was located. When I first contacted Tim, it was right after the major rain storm we had in July and they were booked solid. Tim asked me to be patient and was able to get the job done in mid November. I was determined to wait for Des Moines Area Roofing to do the job as they had installed the roof a few years ago and I was very impressed with the professionalism and job quality. The removal of the conduit and flashing installation was done very quickly. I would definitely recommend Des Moines Area Roofing in the future."

"When we had requested a quote, the husband and wife had arrived. The husband stayed in the truck, while we showed the wife the two large trees that we needed to have removed. She gave us a very competitive quote. We agreed on a time for them to come back to remove the trees and the husband's brother-in-law spent the majority of the time complaining to us that he thought the wife had underestimated the work and he felt that they were being underpaid for the job. We told them that we expected to honor the estimated quote--which they did. When we followed up a few months later to receive another quote on some other trees that we needed to have removed, the husband answered the phone and immediately put the wife on to speak to us to arrange a time to come out for an estimate. The brother-in-law arrived to look at the trees and seemed very disinterested in the job. He still remembered the previous work that he and his brother-in-law (Jason) had completed for us and yet again complained that he thought that they were underpaid for the work. The brother-in-law said that he would send a quote for the new proposed work, however, never followed through. The work that they completed was done well. However, I would never hire them again due to the lack of reliability and professionalism."

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Kelley, IA

Always transport chainsaws with the engine off and chain brake engaged. Use the protective bar cover provided by the rental company to prevent accidental contact with the cutting chain. Position the chainsaw securely in your vehicle to prevent movement during transit, ideally in a truck bed or trunk rather than the passenger compartment. 

For gas models, ensure the fuel cap is tight and position the saw to minimize potential leakage. Keep the chainsaw away from passengers and other items that could be damaged.

Proper safety equipment is essential when operating any chainsaw. At minimum, you should have eye protection (safety glasses or a face shield), hearing protection (earplugs or earmuffs), cut-resistant gloves, chainsaw chaps or pants, and sturdy boots with good traction. 

Many rental facilities offer basic safety kits alongside chainsaw rentals. If you'll be using chainsaws regularly, investing in quality personal safety gear is advisable. Never operate a chainsaw without appropriate protective equipment, regardless of the job size.

While rental companies will rent chainsaws to beginners, inexperience significantly increases safety risks. If you've never used a chainsaw before, request a demonstration from the rental staff and thoroughly review the operator's manual before starting. Begin with smaller, more manageable cutting tasks to build comfort with the tool's operation. 

For significant cutting jobs, consider either taking a chainsaw safety course first or hiring professionals instead. The learning curve for safe chainsaw operation is steep, and caution is paramount.

If mechanical problems develop during your rental, immediately cease operation and contact the rental company. Most reputable rental businesses will either provide a replacement chainsaw or repair the equipment if the breakdown resulted from normal use rather than misuse. Document the issue with photographs when possible and maintain records of when you reported the problem. 

Having your rental agreement readily available when you call will expedite the resolution process. The rental company should adjust your rental period to account for any downtime.
