2x materials

Rig guy wire stops
EHS(per foot of rough cut off the roll)
Finishing caps
Hubs (if required)
Beveled washers(if required)

2 hours labor of first cable (covers design and climb)
1 hour labor for each additional

Some customers just t&m if they trust me. Best price.

Bump.
Charge same hourly as normal work or reduced? What markup on materials? Add cost of future visits etc?

Our pricing starts minimum at normal hourly plus hardware. I increase from there based on size and liability. We have only offered the service for a year, but have sold hundreds of feet of cable. At this point I am thinking about marking up the service, but if we get a spiderlift this year I may keep it the same. We have sold several projects at our full day rate installing multiple cable systems in and reduction pruning a single large tree. I think we may be one of the only services in our area that offers anything but COBRA. We only work with EHS.

Cabling is a more advanced skill that a basic canopy raise.
Charge less???
Charge more, maybe.

Our pricing structure for cabling is $175/hr for a two climber crew plus $5/ft of material used. Our cost is ~$3/ft. We include annual inspections in our prices

that’s less than my hourly cost of operation.

Different circumstances. We're the highest priced tree service in the area and one of only two that offers cabling. There's little demand for it here and it's a lower income area so we can't charge too much or there won't be any business.
