I know , that’s what the guy sent me ? He’s about 35miles one way so it’s a haul ... told him 5-6 hun but he’s possum and moanin about price ... ready to just tell him to rent a lift for $350/ day and do it yourself 😀Hard to tell from your pic whats going on there, Frankie.
I work with the guy and was trying to help him out at $600 ... guess HE can go rent a lift for $350 and have at it himself then .... guy and his wife clear 150000/yr ! Rich Fuks are cheep fuks ... oh well I ain’t workin for beans and rice ... thanks For the reply my manIt's not an impressive tree. What are the specs of the job? Full clean up? Get it on the ground and walk?
Personally if the guy is balking at the price walk away I stand my ground when it comes to price. Throw it against the wall and see if it sticks. $1000 is a good place to start.
? I'm not following at all man, why would it have to be climbed? Either way the cost would be the same, because a bucket can easily get to it. The only time you can usually charge more for climbing is if it absolutely has to be climbed, ie no access at all.
For $600 drop , buck and split into firewood for the guy ! Guess you just gotta walk away sometimes ... rough guess of 2-3 facecord (he has woodstove ) so that wood defray some of the cost ($75/ face here in wny )As has been said, it’s a no fell job, bucket or climb.
If it was my job, from $600 to dismantle, leave all brush on the deck (no stacking of dragging) to $1200 to get rid of arisings.
