Who is Mr Tree around here?

[Eagle]

That sounded painful.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Shit, I can't remember who I used back in the day. Had 2 big ass trees out front of our house and could of hit the house or taken out the power lines. We paid $800 but that was 5 years ago. Just make sure to get someone bonded and insured if they're near something that can get damaged. If not, head to HD and pick up some guys

If you can do some of it yourself (and want to), just have them quote coming in and taking the top halves off that could fall on something and you doing the rest

 

[Nccstud]

This is the method I have to go with since I have about 24 tall evergreens that need to be cut down lol

 

[Yaj Yak]

did we just watch a guy die?

 

[FESTER665]

I would think if you were filming your buddy cut down a tree and that happened to him you wouldn't post it on the internet if they died, but I've been wrong before.

I think he was actually kinda lucky getting knocked completely out of the way, I think if he had gone straight down and bent his back around one of the cut limbs he would've definitely been dead.

doesn't seem to be a buddy to me, but rather a creepy neighbor zoomed in

I would hope even a creepy neighbor would be decent enough to not post it if they saw me rolled out in a body bag...

[MENTION=340]Eagle[/MENTION]s recommended company crushed all the other quotes and haven't been there yet but got pics and looks all good, had a bunch of equipt to bring them down safely, even verified 1M insurance policy was active

 

[Bruce Jibboo]

Scratch that, it was actually Red Oak Tree services, couple companies quoted 2k for the split tree alone, this was 1100 for all 3 stumps included

 

[importcrew]

Did they use a climber?

 

[Bruce Jibboo]

Wasn't there for it but they started 730a and done by like almost 830-9, 3 big trucks, the chipper and bunch of guys

 

[FESTER665]

$1100 for all three is an insane price.... No idea how they break even at that price.

 

[importcrew]

That's a cheap price no matter how you look at it. Good choice.

 

[FESTER665]

Cheap doesn't describe it, that breaks down to less than $100 an hour, they probably spent more than that on gas for the saws, chippers and trucks.

Only thing I can think of is they meant $1100 per tree?

In any case, if that's what they charge and did a good job it looks like we have a new TCG tree trimmer.

 

[Bruce Jibboo]

Ya also why I wanted a copy of estimate and checked their insurance status

 

[FESTER665]

Yeah, whoever gave that estimate is likely in the unemployment line today.

 

[Yaj Yak]

pm me who did that?

 

[FESTER665]

pm me who did that?

He mentioned Red Oak Tree Services.... This is the one that comes up in google search locally:

Home - Red Oak Tree Service Inc.

Guessing it is them but he can verify.

 

[Bruce Jibboo]

Yep that is the one! He verbally gave the quote to my sister-in-law so I asked him for a written estimate and he txt'd it to me and txt a copy of his 1M insurance policy which I confirmed by calling the agent.

I'm assuming the times are am to am, so 1-1:30 hours on the job @ $1,100 isn't bad. Maybe they used the job as a filler or someone cancelled.

 

[Bruce Jibboo]

The neighbor asked for an estimate on a single dead tree that was 1/2 the size of one of those pines and I think I heard $450-485. The quote to me made no sense and thought there was a miscommunication but work is done and paid for

 

[FESTER665]

Youre dellusional if you think all three trees were down and stumped in 1.5 hours.

^At least all the trees Ive seen taken down took much longer than 1.5 hours just for one.... Between my neighbor and myself we've had 5 trees removed and all took pretty much all day?

Although maybe you're right since the pictures are in the middle of the day still? How the hell do they get those down in 1.5 hours unless they were able to just fell them to the ground and buck them up?
