Well it looks like we were not the only ones that the storm trashed. So here are the names of tree services we received in no particular order. I recently had to have a huge tree cut down. Had a great experience with DC Culley. Got several bids. His was the lowest AND they did a good job ------------------------- We used Keelen Brothers Tree Service, Inc., 412-781-3415, http://keelenbrotherstreeservice.com/ They removed two dead trees which towered over our 3 story house plus some bushes. They are professional, do a good job in cleaning up and provide their services to the Boy Scouts's Camp Guyasuta across the Highland Park Bridge. ------------------------ We highly recommend Treemadters. They took care of a mulberry tree in out yard, but have also serviced several of our neighbors. Very reasonably priced and do great cleanup! The owner also is an HP resident. The number us 412-450-8031. ------------------------ Sorry to hear abut your storm damage. We are a local tree company and can come and provide a free estimate for your tree service needs.

Call Jeff Olar at (724) 283-0310. He took down two trees for us. He is fast, extremely clean, and reasonably priced ----------------------------------- As to where we are in the process, I called the City at 311 to determine whether our tree, or any portion of it, is in the right of way. This after talking to a City crew that was taking down a tree that is in the ROW as well as clearly in the owners front yard. In short it pays to check in that ROW is not all ways obvious. Our question to the city is pending a review of the City maps. On the issue of home owners insurance we would get $150 after a $1,000 deductible. Big Whoop. Will repost to the listserv when all is said and done. Rich
