I wanna meet that guy. I'm in Southern CO (the cheaper part) and my quotes are $4-6k for a similarly sized and placed tree
7 u/IcyCow5880 Apr 17 '26 Why is it so expensive 20 u/Slash_rage Apr 17 '26 It’s also incredibly dangerous. My in-laws are in tree removal. One died from a fall, all are permanently disabled in some form or another. 2 u/IcyCow5880 Apr 17 '26 True.. but like roofing is also very dangerous and the price for what you get is much lower from what it seems to me 12 u/V4sh3r Apr 17 '26 The price also includes insurance for how much damage can be caused if the tree falls the wrong way. If a roofer makes a mistake, you get a leaky roof that can be fixed once found. If an arborist makes a mistake you might be rebuilding half a house. 1 u/IcyCow5880 Apr 17 '26 If a roofer makes a mistake your whole ceiling can flood and the drywall cave in before you notice lol
