Warning... So I reached out to William Stuhr of Yardvanna LLC.
I had a cypress tree that I wanted limbed, or removed. He visited my home yesterday morning. After looking at the job, he gave me price of $500. I thought that was a little high and expressed my opinion.
He then lowered his price to $400 if I would let him do the job today.
I could tell that he really needed the work, so I agreed and we shook hands.
He then asked me for a 25% deposit. I told him that I didn't pay upfront and that was a deal breaker for me.
As I turned to walk away, he said;
"I need to get some gas and a new chainsaw blade to do the job, could you at least give me $50?"
I knew better, but I felt sorry for the guy. I gave him $50 and he said he'd be back in 2 hours.
Haven't seen him since!
