How much for removal on this tree? With the stump removal and w/o it. Thanks ahead.
(Notice the phone line, too.)

what is to the right of the tree?

that is where sections would be roped away from the phone line and the house. depending if there is a fence there or some other structure it would make the price go up.


Looks like a fairly easy removal. A lot looks like it can be tag lined and or dropped clean. Back chipper and log truck right to the debris. Around here we would probably charge about $900 +/- without the stump and maybe another $200+/- for the stump depending on the flair. I would expect the job to take 2-3hrs with a crew of 3 guys ... plus travel time which is calculated if in our normal territory.

It is pretty hard to give a estimate via pics only. Pics can be decptive so its best that you look at in person.
 
There is a fence to the right of the tree. So 1100 or so with the removal of the stump?
 
yea thats a ballpark figure. have you had any co.'s submit a bid? Im curious to know what they qouted you.
 
No, I am doing it, w/the help of a VERY experienced climber. I am going to be working for their insured company, and want to know what I should charge.
 
1nsurance co hmmm

i would say 1800 total if the ins co is paying. what are u going 2 do with the wood and brush. I'm assuming u don't have a chipper and a chip truck and its going 2 b a lot more **** then u think when the tree is on the ground:(is your climber gonna help with the whole job? do u need 2 rent any equipment? how much will that cost? are u gonna keep the wood? what if u cause damage to the house/fence/wire/sidewalk or some one gets hurt? these are just some things 2 think about and must be taken into consideration. do u want 2 make money? are u going 2 loose money? do u know what your getting into because if u did u should/could answer your own questions. around here stumps cost 3-4$ per sq in and that does not include removal of the grindings. i think after all said and done after all bills and fees are paid the climber should get half of whatever $ is left. what i would do is open the phone book and have some insured company's give u a bunch of free estimates and make your choice. just mail the ins co the bill all leagel like because the risks are to high. ins fraud is a heavy crime. as a climber i would never have a none experienced person running my ropes:buttkick: and would bring in a rope man. i would also price to take down only 4 only350$ and be done in 1hr max. to remove would cost u like $1200-$1500 depending on the stump because i would use a crane and be cleaned up n outa there in2-1/2hrs max. after payroll,fuel,ins,and a bunch more hidden cost i stilhl need 2 make some money on the job:clap:
 
No. I am going to be bidding on this job, and then subconracting it back out again. How much to remove the tree? 1800? Not an insurance job, the company that I am subbing it back out to is insured.
 
I'd say about 900 with stump. Looks like a 2 hour job if you can just climb up 1/3 and notch them both. That should give enough roof for clearace of both house drop and the service wires. Seems pretty staight forward with even just 2 guys. But it also depends exact size of the trunk and what the chipper will take which could make it go up. But even at $8 a yard for wood, it shouldn't make the price jump much.
