I guess so, but damn, $4000 to cut a tree down next to the house (with crane) just seems crazy.

No doubt some are crooks. I liken most in the business to roofers. But it's seasonal work and hard to make a good living doing it.

Thanks to all for the comments. I'm waiting to hear back on a couple of quotes. Prepare the anus is the feeling I'm getting, but can't let the damn thing fall on our house.

Most of the tree cutting companies I have used do not own a crane, so that has to be factored in. I have hired cranes from several companies in south LA, a crane to take down the average water oak would be one of the smaller ones which rent for $200-250/hour including the operator, with a 4 hour minimum, and travel time is paid the same as on site time.
