At this point I don't think it's anything the local boys can't get cleaned up in a few days. Plenty of idiots running around with their Poulans too. One hack got his beat up old bucket stuck in a yard. I almost left him there except I knew the guy. He said he would pay for the pull if he could but showed me his empty wallet. Dumbass, if you charged more than a hundo to take that tree down you'd have plenty of cash.
For you guys used to doing this #### regularly. When it comes to insurance jobs, how do you get paid? Do you give the bill to the HO, submit it to the insurance company yourself? What's the likelihood of actually collecting? When writing the invoice do you fudge things a little so that debris cleanup isn't included in the price to give HO's a break? So far I've just been telling HO's that my deal is with them, not their ins co. I give them an invoice, they give me a check and they can chase their ins co. down for the money. It works but I'm sure I'm missing out on some work because not everyone has money in their pocket to pay me up front. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks
