In addition, we also offer free estimates and in-house financing on all of our services. Ensure that your property looks pristine with our friendly and experienced tree professionals.

"They took down a dying ash for me and did a good job. There are a few big reasons I'm giving them a bad review. First, despite my specifically asking if a tree removal permit was required, they said no. They know better - I found out afterwards that a permit is required. I could have been fined a serious amount of $$$. They also recommended trimming my huge elm tree in July, but lucky for me two other tree companies told me that elms can only be trimmed in winter when they are dormant. Trimming elms when they have leaves risks Dutch Elm disease. Shifflett has been in business for a long time - surely they know better about all of the above. Really disappointed. In DC, both you as the homeowner and the tree service can get slapped with hefty fines (like $10K and up) for failing to apply for a permit to remove a tree. For a dead or dying tree, the permits are free. Adirondack Tree not only told me I had to get a permit, they also applied and got it for me. It took about 2 days. People may not know that in DC and other areas like Takoma Park, MD, you need a permit to remove trees, but a professional tree service should know and follow this law, it's there for a good reason. See ddot.dc.gov/page/tree-re… Beyond that, Shifflett's estimate that was way more than those from two other tree companies. I'm just lucky that I got other estimates - otherwise I would have paid far more, risked being fined for not having the required permit, and my elm tree could have gotten Dutch Elm disease due to Shifflet's negligence."
