IHRS Contracting

When starting a search for what company will take down the pine tree I had in my backyard, admittedly I was nervous. Not only about the price but who I would let have access to my property while I was at work. I contacted IHRS Contracting as one of the top rated Google reviews located in Richmond, KY. Not only did I get a quick response for an estimate but after doing a little more research before the estimate happened, I quickly realized there would not be other companies that would match what I was looking for....boy was I surprised. First, before I the initial estimate occurred I was contacted letting me know a family issue had happened and they needed a couple days before coming out. It was explained what the issue was and I was very happy they put family before work/business. Absolutely!!! Next, when the new estimate time occurred, they contacted me to see if they could come out earlier as I am close to go ahead a give me an estimate since I was rescheduled. Next, when I met the owner/representative, it was like seeing a friend I haven't seen in a long time. Yes, I know some people just don't get along but I immediately felt comfortable. Once I realized this is the company that I will do business with, the turnover for when the crew would show up was very quick (within a week). I know sometimes that varies depending on how busy things are going at the time. When the crew showed up, after I met the crew, I felt comfortable having my 5 year old being around when the crew was present (unfortunately he got strep when it was time to work). He was not outside when the tree went down but they were great when he was present, it was like being around family. Lastly, they did a great job in putting back up a 16 year old privacy fence that was partially deconstructed to help get the tree down. BTW, this was a pine tree approximately 65ish foot tall in a not so accessible area. Long story short, if you are looking for someone to do some contract work this is your company. I will be contacting them again if I need any work done that I can't complete myself.

We've had a great experience with IHRS contracting. They were prompt and communicated with us all through the process of having a very large tree removed from our yard. It was VERY close to our house and hanging over our neighbors house. They had to get their equipment in through our neighbors yard, had to take down a chain length fence, plus part of our wooden privacy fence. They put down wood planks to make sure they didn't destroy the neighbors yard with their equipment and made certain it was OK for them to be in their yard before getting started. Understanding the enormous cost in such a project, Eric the owner went ahead and included the removal of two other smaller trees (although still big in my opinion!) In the price. When they left they cleaned up the wood shavings (as best you can with tiny wood shavings) and put the fences back up. Our fence had been rotten and was unable to be put back up, but they were able to replace the section for us at a very reasonable price. All in all it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend. When we are ready for more projects I'll be calling them for sure!

BIG BLUE FIREWOOD/IHRS CONTRACTING is PHENOMENAL!!! We got a full cord of wood in November and boy, did they deliver! We live in Lexington and they delivered it the next day. The wood was wonderfully seasoned and a great mix of hardwoods. This is a wonderful family operation, who has worked hard to provide those in Kentucky and most recently, us, with heat for our home. Communication was always fast and easy with them. They are professional and truly care about their customers without being pushy. We will ALWAYS USE BIG BLUE FIREWOOD!! Thank you Meg and Eric-we know your business will be around for a long time based on all the care you put in. We will share your business information with everyone we can. When it comes time for our fence and other jobs we will definitely contact Big Blue/IHRS!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!, Meg and Eric!!! V. & P. Lexington,Ky

We've used this company multiple times now for various projects and there's not much they can't do. Eric and his wife Meg are very professional, honest, hardworking, nice people and don't try to sell you on work you don't need, and are honest about whether a project is even worth your money and time, such as whether we needed to just repair spots on our deck or completely replace it. Finding a trustworthy contractor is hard and not only that, they are fair on pricing and will work with what you need. I highly recommend them for deck construction, tree removal and trimming, firewood, and more. Eric and his crew show up on time and goes above and beyond. I'm not a family member or friend, just a very happy customer that's gotten the runaround too many times from other local small businesses. Very nice people to work with, please give them a chance!

Eric and his team did a terrific job removing a few trees, grinding several stumps and building a fence for us. We were also thinking of replacing a deck. Eric took a look at what we had and advised us that it didn't need replacing. Saved us a bunch of money. They were great to work with. Their payment system was very easy to utilize. If you are looking for great service and a great job I highly recommend them.
