Timbershark is a licensed and insured tree service based in Martinsburg, WV, providing tree removal, tree trimming and pruning, stump removal, and emergency storm response for residential and commercial properties. The company is owner-operated by Reese Gelinas and serves communities across West Virginia, Maryland, and Virginia.
When you call about a tree, you're dealing with Reese, who owns and operates Timbershark. He looks at the structure, health, and risk of what you have before recommending trimming or removal, so the plan is based on the tree in front of you rather than a generic upsell. That means the person quoting the work is the same one doing it.
A few things customers mention again and again.
Reese responds quickly, often the same day, and shows up when he says he will. Homeowners describe getting a call back within minutes and having someone on-site to assess a tree, sometimes on a weekend.
When a tree is close to a house, fence, or power line, the crew uses ropes and rigging to bring it down in sections so nothing lands where it shouldn't. On one removal, Reese coordinated with the electrical provider to cut service during the work.
Cleanup is part of the job, not an afterthought. Branches get chipped and hauled, and customers regularly say the yard was raked and left looking like the crew was never there.
The estimate you approve is the price you pay. Customers note the quote held with no surprise add-ons once the work was done.
From planned maintenance to removals and cleanup that can't wait.
Dead, leaning or too close to your house, fence or lines? We remove the risk before the weather does, and give you back usable space.
Good pruning supports a tree's health and structure. We clear limbs from roofs, walkways and power lines, leaving trees safe and well shaped.
Stumps trip people up, block mowers and attract pests. We grind them out so the spot goes back to lawn.
A limb across the driveway or a tree on the house needs fast action. Timbershark responds after severe weather, securing hazards and hauling off debris.
Call or request a free estimate and tell us what you're dealing with, whether a hazardous tree, limbs over the roof, a stump or storm damage. We'll sort out the concern and the timeline together.
We look at the tree in person, checking its structure, health and what it stands near. You'll get an honest read on whether it needs full removal or whether trimming solves the problem.
You get a clear estimate with the recommendation and the reasoning behind it. The number you approve is the number the work is based on, with no surprise add-ons.
The crew handles the agreed work with your property in mind, then cleans up and hauls off the debris. The only sign we were there is the work itself.
A tree next to your roof, your fence, or your neighbor's property leaves little room for error, and you can't judge the skill until the work is done. These are homeowners and property owners across the region describing how their jobs actually went.
From our base in Martinsburg, we serve homeowners and commercial properties across the corner where West Virginia, Maryland and Virginia meet. Storm season doesn't stop at a county line, and neither do the hazardous trees it leaves behind. One front can drop limbs in all three states in a single night.
Being local means we know the weather that drives most of this work and we're close enough to respond when it hits. Routine trimming or urgent damage, reach out and we'll figure out the timing together.

the work is covered, which matters most when a large tree comes down near a structure.
the number you approve is what the job is based on, without surprise add-ons after the crew arrives.
debris is hauled off when the work is done, not left for you to deal with.
the person quoting the job is accountable for how it finishes.
Reese Gelinas, who owns and operates Timbershark. He handles the assessments and the estimates and is on-site for the work, so the person you talk to about your trees is the same one climbing them.
Yes. Timbershark operates as a fully licensed and insured tree service, which matters on tree work where cuts happen near houses, fences, and power lines.
Both. We handle residential and commercial tree care, from a single hazardous tree in a backyard to removals and trimming for property managers.
We look at the tree's structure, health, and how close it is to anything it could hit before recommending anything. Sometimes that means trimming or a weight reduction rather than taking the whole tree down.
Get an honest assessment and a clear estimate from the owner who’ll be on your property doing the work. Reese will walk you through your options and explain what your tree needs before any cutting starts.
