Storm and tree damage in Syracuse
Arborists and roofers for storm damage.
18 pros in Syracuse
Storm and tree work in Syracuse comes with a rule most towns don't spell out for you: under a City of Syracuse ordinance, anyone working on or near a street tree, whether the owner or a contractor, must first get a permit from the city. The Forestry Division handles that permission, and National Grid is the contact when a tree is down near power lines. The weather explains why this matters. Blizzard '93 left 43 inches of snow on the city in two days, and a regional storm with high winds and an EF-1 tornado in Clark Mills knocked out service to over 121,000 Central New York customers, with fallen trees and debris slowing access for crews. Before you hire, ask whether the tree stands on your property or is a street tree, and who will apply for the permit. If a line is involved, call National Grid first and keep crews away from it. Ask for a written quote that names the work, the clean-up and the permit.

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 Syracuse
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in front of my Syracuse home?
If it is a street tree, yes. A City of Syracuse ordinance requires a permit from the city before anyone works on or near a street tree, whether you do it yourself or hire a contractor. The Forestry Division handles permission. Ask any contractor who will apply for it. City of Syracuse (source, opens in a new tab)
Who do I call if a fallen tree is on a power line?
Call National Grid, which is the contact for downed trees near power lines in Syracuse. Stay well away from the tree and the line. Wait until the utility has dealt with the line before a tree crew starts removing the tree. City of Syracuse (source, opens in a new tab)
What should a written quote for storm clean-up include?
It should describe the work tree by tree, say whether branches, trunks and debris are hauled away, name who handles any permit, and give the start date. Ask for proof of insurance as well. Get the same details from each contractor so the quotes compare fairly.
Why can storm clean-up be slow after a big regional storm?
After heavy rain and high winds, many customers can lose power at once, and fallen trees and debris can create access problems for crews. National Grid reported this after a storm that included an EF-1 tornado in Clark Mills. Expect waits and ask contractors for a realistic start date. National Grid (source, opens in a new tab)
