Beware Out of Town Companies After a Storm
So much damage everywhere. Be careful with out-of-town companies. Summer is peak time for tree companies. Do you think they drove 1,000 miles away to make regular profits? We've seen out of town companies charging $25,000 on jobs that shouldn't be any more than 2,500. We just talked to an out-of-town company that is charging 8,000 an hour! I can't see how anyone could charge 800 an hour and look at themselves in the mirror. Yes, equipment is expensive to maintain and good help is hard to keep, but still. Price gouging is a thing in a State of Emergency! We have enough work, this is not us trying to get more. We just hate to see people pay someone 50,000+ for eight hours of labor. That's insane!
RIP and condolences to the family. Chipper accidents don't just happen. This is what happens when you put inexperienced people on the job. You literally have to throw yourself into the Chipper for this to happen. Most of the workers here at Brown's have been doing this for 10-20 years. Most homeowners do not realize that if a tree care worker gets hurt, they are the ones held liable. Make sure whatever tree service you pick has a specialized policy for tree trimming. Accidents can easily cost a homeowner 100K to 1M. https://local12.com/news/nation-world/woodchipper-shredded-death-worker-landscaper-landscaping-pulled-sucked-inside-into-intimidator-malfunction-malfunctioning-defective-lawsuit-family-killed-died-kill-kills-work-cemetery-graveyard-tree-trees-wood
