So, I have started my own tree service business. It's a legitimate business, registered with the state and I also have insurance. It's only a 3 day a week job because I work for the Idaho Dept of Lands the other 4. Most of my jobs have been pine removals so far with one cottonwood that the home owner wanted the dead and broken branches cut out of. So far everyone has been very happy with the work I have done.
I have no intentions of biting off more than I can chew and if any jobs come along that I don't think I can do properly I won't do them. I would rather turn down a job than do a poor job. In a small town your reputation will make or break you, rumors spread faster than wildfire.
I have been a little nervous to mention this here on the forum because I kinda got the impression that if you ain't a certified arborist you ain't really welcome.
But here lately I got the feeling that that is not necessarily true. At least I hope not...
I would like to point out that my expenses have far exceeded my income so far.
My personal account has been carrying me but I hope to change that before I have to pay my first quarter taxes. This has been a fun adventure so far. It is also running me ragged but I am enjoying it so it's worth it. I also just purchased a new to me work pickup. I'll have to post some pictures of it. I think some of you will like it.
Thanks guys for your help with the questions I have had so far. I hope to continue to be a member here and be able to enjoy all your pictures and videos well into the future.
