Storm and tree damage in Scranton
Arborists and roofers for storm damage.
7 pros in Scranton
If a storm drops a limb on your roof or brings down a tree in Scranton, the city has a clear rule to work from: the City of Scranton says all construction projects require a permit, and no work may start before the permit is in hand. It also says the work is to be done by an insured, licensed contractor with experience in the job. Across Pennsylvania, the Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act requires contractors above a yearly work threshold to register with the Office of Attorney General. So before you hire for tree removal, storm clean-up or a roof repair, ask who pulls the permit, ask to see proof of insurance and licence, and ask for the contractor's state registration number. If you run a generator during an outage, PPL Electric's instructions for its transfer switch meter collar say all branch circuit breakers must be off before the generator is connected, so confirm that step is understood before any crew or electrician connects 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 Scranton
Do I need a permit for storm repairs in Scranton?
The City of Scranton says all construction projects in the city require a permit, and no work may start before the permit is in hand. For roof repairs after a storm, ask the contractor whether a permit is needed and who will obtain it. Confirm this with the city before work begins. City of Scranton (source, opens in a new tab)
Who is allowed to do tree and roof work in Scranton?
The city says work is to be done by an insured, licensed contractor with experience in the work. Ask for proof of insurance and licence before you sign anything, and check that the details match the name on the quote. Keep copies with your records for any later claim.

Does a Pennsylvania contractor have to be registered?
Under the Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act, contractors doing home improvements above a yearly threshold must register with the Office of Attorney General. Ask for the registration number and check it before you agree to a job. This matters most for roof repairs, which tend to be larger jobs. Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General (source, opens in a new tab)
What should a written quote for storm clean-up include?
Ask for the scope of work, such as which trees or limbs come down and whether stump removal and debris haul-away are included. It should also list the start date, who handles permits, proof of insurance and the payment terms. Get at least two quotes and compare them line by line.
