"Steve is pretty amazing and extremely quick to help me get the job done in under 24 hours. I have worked with a lot of individuals, independent contractors, and even some of the large companies. I would have thought I would ever work with some like him as many are on there time schedule or late even as far as never show up as promised. I can absolutely say this that I would never receive timely, quality work and an individual like Steve from Speedy Stump, LLC. If you need help in removing a tree stump, you’ll never regret hiring this gentleman and his company"

"I called 3 tree trimming companies (all from Angie's list), Independent was the only one to call back timely (One called back over a week later after I had accepted Independent's quote).
They said it would be 2-3 weeks before they cold get the work done. They met that time frame, called to schedule the work, arrived when they said they would, worked fast, cleaned up, and left me the wood for our fire pit.

"Extremely well! TNT tree & stump service was outstanding. Tom was so careful of the deck, the pergola, and the clean up was excellent. I will hire them again in the spring and have already recommended the company to neighbors."

"We had two 60’ plus trees to come down. This company was great from the first time meeting them for a quote, communication and for the actual work completed. Professional, friendly, good clean up and fair pricing. They were quick to get it done as well. If we need any more trees removed, they will be our first call!"

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Pontiac, MI

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.
