They are definitely ripping you off because of the business. It's called supply and demand. You could always go buy a chainsaw and try to do it yourself, especially if the tree is already down. You get a wide range of prices up here in Michigan as well. I had to have two 70' tree's cut down this year. Each one only cost me $500 to get taken down (of course I live in the country). Downstate near Detroit a friend of mine just paid $2300 to get the same size tree taken down. It's all in where you live, and since you guys got hit hard, these guys are looking for their golden parachute.
