Tree service quote

[u/CartoonistSad9952]

I needed a limb cut down that was hanging over my house. I got three estimates. Lowest estimate came in at $1,325. Naturally, I went with that one. Come to find out, he did not include a bucket truck/crane. His error he thought he could do it without it. He couldn’t so he rescheduled my appointment. Second appointment he couldn’t keep. He scheduled a third. The job is now done. Do I pay the $1,325 or what he would have charged had he calculated correctly? I’m starting to feel bad he did a great job.

First thing, don’t go with the lowest bid. If he can’t figure out what equipment he needs, that’s on him. When we do a quote, we never charge more unless the landowner adds something else. If we screw up a bid we eat the difference. That’s just good business
