Same here, a little wind but very little damage

Removed a 14" diameter red oak limb above a homeowner's garage that was about 20' long and about 25' above the garage roof and the homeowner insisted on me to drop it on his roof instead of rigging it, said he thought it could support the fall. The house was brand new so it wasn't because he...

Cambridge is the siding company on the job, what's his name? I was there for 7 months, there's a chance I might know him.

Thus far all my advertising has been word of mouth and it's kept me fairly busy, but that time of year is coming were homeowners start to take a look at their yards for improvement and I would really like to get my name out there this year, any recommendations for advertising?
