Tree 2
I went with the tree people recommended by my mother (in part since the other company I left a message with didn't call me back). The fallen section of the tree has been taken down, and there doesn't appear to be any damage to my roof. I'll be more sure of that once all the sawdust has blown or washed away from the shingles and I'm able to go up and get a better look.
At this point, all of the material is spread out on my lawn. They're supposed to come back and remove the branches and leaves, and take down the rest of the tree, in a few days - there's more urgent work for them to take care of in the next few days. They're supposed to leave all the wood and thicker branches for me, cut into 16" lengths for firewood.
So far, so good. I'll post more information and my recommendations about the company after they finish the job.
