Hi Brett, Thanks for reaching out. I can give a rough range for pruning to remove branches that are rubbing on your roof, but I do need a few quick details first. Based on a 4-storey evergreen in the neighbour's front yard and work near the roof, I estimate $900 to $2,940. The low end assumes a relatively small amount of crown work, easy street-side access, no overhead lines, and minimal rigging. The high end reflects extensive pruning into the crown, complex rigging because of the house and tight access in the neighbour's yard, required bucket work, and extra care to protect the roof. Because this is work near a structure and on a tree in the neighbour's yard, I need to confirm permission from the property owner, check for overhead utilities, and see access for a bucket or ladders. Photos of the tree and the roof contact will help refine the quote and may lower the range. If you like, we can do a quick site visit to confirm scope and give a firm quote. We can schedule quickly, you do not need to be home, and we are flexible with timing. Please text photos and confirm that you have permission from the neighbour to work on the tree and whether there are any overhead power lines near the canopy. Thanks, and feel free to give us a shout if you have any questions, Max, Calgary Tree Care & Arborist Service (587) 329-7161
