How the ranges are built
These are planning ranges from the Jacob Pro project desk, based on the scopes we price most often. Use them to budget before a site visit. The written estimate a crew lead gives you after seeing the job is the number to plan around.
Questions homeowners ask
Does homeowners insurance cover tree removal?
Often only when a covered event drops the tree on a structure. Check your policy.
