Cost of tree removal??? Suggestions

[DapperDan]

My mom lost two oak trees during Harvey and lives in Huntsville TX. I cut those two oaks up for her but she has 3 trees leaning over her house and is worried they will eventually fall. What is a fair amount to have someone come cut down these trees??? We will be keeping the wood bc they are oaks and my step dad purchased a log splitter before he passed away. Here are the three trees. What would be any other options as far as getting them down? Would renting the equipment and doing it myself be more cost effective? Suggestions???

Plan on $800-1000 each

Many times your home insurance will pay to have dangerous trees removed. May check with them first.

I paid $600 a tree for cutting down and grinding the stump. The two trees were 40' pines in the Katy area. Be sure they are insured in the event they accidentally drop it on the house. The guy I used was insured and cracked my driveway when about 15' fell on the drive and not in the yard. He made it right and replaced the panel section of driveway. I would also consider off peak landscaping times. The crews are looking for work during the late fall and winter. They may be able to cut you a better deal. Some other quotes were around $900 and $750.

I tried this after Ike on a tree that got topped, but State farm wouldn't cover it. Worth a try though!

That's not too bad I guess. May just have the one in the back yard taken out and I'll worry about the other two.

After almost having a stroke from some of the quotes from tree services, I rented a 40 ft lift from home depot for $250. I took down a huge Ash tree that was handing over the house. Had it on the gound in less than an hour and sent the rest of the time trimming my other trees.
