Yeah probably less than a $100, likely a lot less.There's a lot of wood there, but pine is pretty cheap. No idea how much, but a lot winds up as pulp, pretty valueless.
That's a cool picture. I love watching heavy machinery like this at work.
My father-in-law had a bunch of trees cut down about 8-9 years ago and he saved the logs. Then he hired a guy with a portable sawmill to cut the wood into planks. It was a pretty neat operation. I think the wood was black cherry.
Sure. I can understand that. I just preferred that they were straightforward with me.
Can i move in? Beautiful house.
And yeah those logs are worth thousands probably.
Are they charging to extra for "hauling the trees away"?
I don't think so. The quote they gave me does not contain much details other than the price for cut and remove trees in 3 different areas on the property. They did beat the next best offer by around $3,000. So I guess that's why.
Call them OP. And if nothing changes leave a poor Yelp and Google Review so they lose business in the future.
We decided to drop some tall trees around the house for safety and aesthetic reasons. We interviewed a few tree companies and went with the one that gave us the best quote. During the interview I specifically asked the company owner if we can offset some of the cost by selling the wood from the dropped trees (mostly 70 ft tall straight pine trees). He danced around my question and gave me the impression that nobody would want the wood (e.g., no wood mills nearby, pine is of low value, etc.).
Fast forward to today: most dropping has been done and they are cleaning up the site. I noticed they are cutting the trees into equal length log and ship them out on large trucks. I asked a guy and he confirmed that they are selling the logs.They actually did a good job with the trees; but I really don't like being lied to. Don't know if I would do something about this. Probably too much trouble and now worthy my time. But still really left a bad taste in my mouth.
BTW, anyone knows how much this much logs would sell for?
This is the pile they are working on now. There was some they already shipped out earlier and more in the back yard. Overall amount is probably twice as much as shown in the picture.

it'd be warranted but at the same time it seems fairly petty considering they were the best offer OP had and every other contractor is almost guaranteed to try and sell the wood as well.
I would threaten a lawsuit for the lie. The trees are your property technically
So there was no contract? You may have a claim on the proceeds from the sale, given that you inquired about selling the wood, and they possibly misrepresented their ability to sell the wood.I don't think so. The quote they gave me does not contain much details other than the price for cut and remove trees in 3 different areas on the property. They did beat the next best offer by around $3,000. So I guess that's why.
Sorry to hear that you're entangled in this mess, OP. You should call them to try and root out this situation from your life, what they did was pure treechery. If they keep lying to you do something to show that you're not one of those all bark and no bite people. I wood give more advice but I don't know much about American laws, so I'll just leaf with this post.
It's not so cut and dry as that. Especially if they misled him as to the value of the trees. That's called misrepresentation, and it's a tort.If you didnt give them permission to haul away the lumber then its yours and theyre stealing it. If you did then you agreed to this and they didnt screw you at all, sounds like you got a good deal anyway

Peoples definition of a Mansion varies greatly on gaf it seems...
They called in a semi just to carry all the chips away.
That looks like a mansion to me.
It's a very lovely home. But it definitely isn't a mansion.
Well how big is your mansion?
