That's outrageous. If he doesn't want you to climb and rig them professionally then I hope he has a good time with an un-licensed and an un-certified guy taking them down!
The industry is growing day by day.There is much potential in this market.The Industry is deprived of skilled workforce.People part is important and should be properly rewarded.
I went to look at a job today 8 large pine two medium gums and one oak trim. Why is it everytime I bid a large project I tend to include a discount per tree thinking the end price will scare them off lol. Looks like I will get the job, oh well, at least pine chips nice and even at 500 per pine I should come out ok because of quantity. The guy immediately said we will be calling you soon that price seems real reasonable. I then explained any one of those trees alone would easily be 750. to a grand but since there's 8 it is a production job lol.
500 a tree this guy will do them all for 500 $500.00 a day TREE SERVICE SPECIAL!! :msp_scared:
Where I live we have a tree service that tries to rape all their customers. I've subcontracted with them they charge crazy high prices. I bid on a job trimming one limb off an oak over a roof, and taking down an ash tree (approx 35 ft tall out in the open), and elevating the crown of a silver maple that hit the lady in the head while she mows (her words not mine). but I said Id do the job for 600. and this other guy came in and told her 1000 on just the ash tree alone. she told him no right then and there but I woulda been interested to see what the rest of the job woulda cost her by going with him.

funny, those services that "rape" all their customers seem to be around the longest.... You'd think people would catch on. Or maybe they're paying their employees decent wages with benefits, paying taxes, doing everything legally, and actually turning a profit.
Usually heard from the new guys who have no idea what it actually costs to run a legitimate business and stay in business. A few of my friends used to say it to me too, #### I know I've said it too about a couple of co's when I first started.
