Storm and tree damage in St. Catharines–Niagara
Arborists and roofers for storm damage.
10 pros in St. Catharines–Niagara
In December 2022, Niagara Region declared a state of emergency during a record-breaking winter storm. Canadian Niagara Power reported 14,000 customers without power on Christmas Eve, and 9,600 were still without power at 4 p.m. on Dec. 25. The Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority also issued a flood warning for the Lake Erie area, with wind gusts expected at 100 to 120 km per hour. For tree removal, storm clean-up or roof repairs after a storm here, that history is a reminder that damage can arrive suddenly and affect many properties at once. Niagara Peninsula Energy advises staying back 10 metres from a downed powerline and away from any trees in contact with a powerline. Before you hire, ask whether the crew will work near powerlines, and expect any tree touching a line to be handled with the utility in mind. Ask for a written quote that names the work, the clean-up and the disposal of debris, and confirm proof of insurance before anyone starts.

What to know in St. Catharines–Niagara
During the December 2022 storm, the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority issued a flood warning for the Lake Erie area, with wind gusts expected at 100 to 120 km per hour. Thousands of Niagara residents lost power.
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 St. Catharines–Niagara
What should I do if a tree has fallen on a powerline?
Niagara Peninsula Energy advises staying back 10 metres from a downed powerline and away from any trees in contact with a powerline. Do not approach the tree or start any removal yourself. Keep others away, and only arrange a tree crew once the situation near the line has been dealt with. Niagara Peninsula Energy (source, opens in a new tab)
Why does the December 2022 storm matter when I hire a tree service?
Niagara Region declared a state of emergency during that record-breaking storm, and thousands of residents lost power. It shows how storm damage can hit many properties together, so ask about a crew's availability and how they handle urgent jobs before you commit to anything. CHCH News (source, opens in a new tab)
What should a quote for storm and tree work include?
A good quote lists the exact work, such as removal, trimming or roof repair, and says whether stump grinding, clean-up and hauling away debris are included. It should show the start date, the payment terms and proof of liability insurance. Get it in writing before work begins.
How do I compare quotes from different tree companies?
Ask each company to quote the same scope of work so the figures line up. Check what is included, such as clean-up and debris removal, and whether insurance is confirmed. Be cautious of anyone who pressures you to decide on the spot after a storm.
