That's my take on it.

Nick, please, before you sign on with Hartford, call 1-800-577-6222 and ask for Mike Rook. He hopefully (according to my agent) tell you about the Arbormax program. Last I heard, they were moving into the Cali market. I saved so much money with that program, that I would highly recommend looking into it.

Last I heard for my quote was 2200 bones/year gives you 2 million liability.
Is this good.?

I am shooting for 1,000,000 in liability. I got one quote the other day for 1,300/yr. That was from some other company I never heard of. I'll compare that to what The Harrford can do.

That is some serious rigging humour.

I called about the Arbormax program when I was looking for insurance, as per your recommendation V. I was told they deal more with larger companies, not like myself.

V- thanks for the tip. I spoke to Mike Rook today and he gave me the contact info for the local agent that deals the Arbor Max program. I had never heard of that one before, so didnt know to ask about it.
I typically skip Skwerl's posts, but all the responses made me go back and read that one. Yes, that was a joke. I wouldn't actually do what I described in that paragraph. Fraud is not high on my lost of aspirations. For those that don't know, Brian and I don't see eye to eye. I thought we'd moved on since this started back in the arboristsite days. But every now and then he makes a comment that tells me he can't move on. Nowadays I just skip the posts and that prevents me from even from being bothered by what he says. I do remember that he let me use his Lockjack one time and that was very kind of him.

I called ArborMAX, spoke to Mike Rook the other day. He had a local agent contact me yesterday. Agent is putting together a questionnaire for me.
I'm noticing a trend that insurers are hesitant to insure a new company.
Starting a new company on the legit is not easy.

New York is a pain in the ass also. It is very expensive for liability. I have done some shopping but never came close to the prices quoted here. It is probably a cost of living in NY tax!!

Wow, I'm starting to feel a lot better about being in business here in Washington. Here we don't need a contractors license as long as you do not touch a structure. You don't have to be bonded because you aren't a contractor. You do have to be insured, but the state doesn't check up on that - they just trust that you will get insurance. Aside from the insurance, I think it cost me under $50 to get my business license. If I had not registered with the city of Bellingham, it would have only cost me $20 (the business license application fee for the state). The hardest part about starting my own business was figuring out what to call it.

So I got my insurance today! What a pain.
I called a bunch of places and got a bunch of quotes. They were all in the $2500 range. I don't understand insurance at all.
Last year I called and got a couple quotes for right around $1000. So I made a note of the amount. When I started calling this year, I started getting quotes right around $2500, very consistently.
vharrison- Arbormax was the most expensive. $2,950.
The Hartford was up there, too.
I don't know. I just thought a one-man-band would be a bit more affordable to insure.
I got a quote Fri for $1,700 for a million dollar policy for 1 year. I signed the paperwork today.
Now I can drop a tree on a house, worry free!

And then 2 million is not alot more. Around here 2 is the minimum. Plus it has gotten more popular to have the client named on the policy.
