PEMA, Incorporated

PEMA, Incorporated (PEMA Tree Services) is a Revere, Massachusetts tree care company with more than 10 years of experience, offering tree trimming, removal, pruning and stump grinding across Massachusetts, and states it's available 24/7. Homeowners who hired the tree crew consistently describe prompt, skilled, well-equipped teams. Reviewers from 2022 through 2024 describe crews that showed up on time, worked efficiently with cranes and remote-controlled equipment on difficult jobs (a three-story pine tree removal, a large sugar maple after a storm, trees in tight or awkward spaces), and cleaned up thoroughly afterward. One 2023 reviewer specifically praised the business for proactively sharing proof of insurance. The company is rated 4.8 out of 5 across 617 reviews on HomeAdvisor and Angi (syndicated) and 4.4 out of 5 across 50 Google reviews. A cluster of reviews from 2021, however, describe landscaping and mulching work handled by a different named contact ('Henry') rather than the tree crews associated with the rest of the record — several are strongly positive, but one August 2021 review said the business never followed up on a promised landscaping quote, and a June 2021 review described mulch that was applied incorrectly, leaving weeds visible within a week. It's unclear whether this reflects a separate landscaping arm of the business or an older chapter of its history; either way, it's worth asking directly what services the business currently handles. Also worth knowing: a 2023 court filing (Kapitus Servicing, Inc. v. Pema Incorporated d/b/a Pema Tree Service and Elmer Palencia) alleges the business defaulted on a forward purchase financing agreement and sought a judgment of $189,392 — a real financial dispute on the public record, though the outcome isn't stated in the reporting available. For homeowners specifically needing tree work — removal, trimming, pruning, or stump grinding — PEMA's tree-service track record is strong and consistent across several years and multiple platforms. Confirm current insurance and licensing directly, and clarify scope if considering landscaping or mulching work given the mixed, older record there.
