How the fuck can getting a tree removed cost this much?

[Cleo]

As much fun as it would be to spend a few weeks on my roof with a chain saw I think I'll have to pass on do it yourself rooftop tree removal and let my insurance pay for it. I'm just a bit in shock what they charge for this.

I'm up early as estimate number three will be here at 8:30 am. I always get three estimates on major work. I was suppose to have a woman come by this morning as well but between the "Jesus Is The Way Maker" on her business card and her twice calling to tell me she can't make it do to car problems I suggested to her that instead she should go to church and pray.
