Tree Problem

I hate all of this runaround from the different tree companies. A tree on my property and half broken and leaning towards my Propane Tank, Generator, Electric/Telephone/Internet Lines.

 1 tree company told me over the phone they would have their tree guy e-mail me back immediately to set-up a time to come look and give me an estimate. That was 6 hours ago.

1 tree company told me over the phone they would have to talk with their Partner about coming here and would call me back within the hour. That was 4 hours ago.

Other companies have taken my info and nothing has come of it.

Only one company said they were too busy and couldn't come until August.

Some companies say they cover the whole State and then when I tell them where I am they say they don't do my town.

There is a major shortage of tree companies in my State (despite so much of it being covered in trees) and there is a major shortage of tree workers within these few companies - because of Covid and good Unemployment Benefits.

Still trying my best to get someone to come and at least look at the tree before it falls and causes damage, death or both.

Update: I finally got an e-mail appointment with a tree company for tomorrow afternoon  (they will come and give me an estimate.) They are the only company to give me a firm appointment.

Living here for over 12 years has shown me that even having an appointment doesn't mean they will show-up for it or if they do come it doesn't mean they will set-up a time to come back and do the work (many companies change their minds after seeing how remote my mountain is - even those that say they cover the whole state.)
