Storm and tree damage in Binghamton
Arborists and roofers for storm damage.
9 pros in Binghamton
Binghamton has its own rules about trees, and they shape how storm work gets done here. The city's trees and shrubs chapter makes it unlawful to remove a healthy street tree or public tree without prior approval from the Parks and Recreation Department. On private land, owners must prune overhanging branches to leave eight feet of clear space above a street or sidewalk, and must remove dead, diseased or dangerous trees and broken limbs that menace public safety. The April 2022 snow event left about 41,000 NYSEG customers in the Binghamton division without power, a reminder that heavy snow and limbs bring outages together. Before you hire, find out whether the tree is yours or the city's, because a street tree needs approval before anyone cuts it. Ask for the scope in writing: what comes down, what is hauled away, and who handles roof repairs. If lines are involved or a generator will run during an outage, ask how the work is coordinated with the utility.

Before you hire
For a tree near power lines, call your utility first: only a utility-certified arborist should work within 3 m of the wires.
Ask which permits the job needs and who will get them; your municipal building department can tell you before work starts.
Ask about liability insurance and workers’ compensation cover before anyone works on your roof or property.
Questions about hiring in Binghamton
Can I have the tree in front of my house removed?
It depends on who owns it. In Binghamton, removing any healthy street tree or public tree without prior approval from the City of Binghamton Parks and Recreation Department is unlawful. Check with the department first, and ask any contractor to confirm approval is in place before work starts. City of Binghamton (source, opens in a new tab)
What am I responsible for on a private tree that hangs over the street?
Binghamton requires owners to prune private trees overhanging a street right-of-way so there are eight feet of clear space above the street or sidewalk. Owners must also remove dead, diseased or dangerous trees and broken or decayed limbs that menace public safety. City of Binghamton (source, opens in a new tab)
What should a quote for storm clean-up include?
Ask for a written quote that lists which trees or limbs are covered, whether stump grinding and debris hauling are included, and how roof damage will be handled. Ask for proof of insurance and a start date. Compare quotes on the same scope, not just the final figure.
If I run a generator during an outage, what does NYSEG advise?
NYSEG says a generator connected directly to existing wiring must use a double-pole, double-throw transfer switch. It also advises turning off the main breaker or pulling the main fuse block after losing power. Have a qualified electrician handle the connection rather than a tree crew.
