10 pros in Sherbrooke
In Sherbrooke, tree work comes with a local step that many towns don't have: before cutting down an ash tree, owners must request an ash-felling certificate from the city. It is free, and it lists conditions you have to respect. The city also has its own electric utility. In one ice-storm episode, Hydro-Sherbrooke reported no outages on its territory the next afternoon, and its crews went to help elsewhere. So a storm that hits the region may not bring your lines down, but a tree can still be a problem on your own lot. When you hire for tree removal or storm clean-up, ask whether the tree is an ash and whether the certificate has been requested before any cutting starts. Ask who handles it, and keep a copy of the conditions. Get the scope in writing: what is removed, what is hauled away, and what happens to the stump. If a tree is near a power line, ask who will deal with the utility before work begins.

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 Sherbrooke
Do I need approval before removing an ash tree in Sherbrooke?
Yes. Owners must request an ash-felling certificate before cutting down an ash tree, and it is free. The certificate lists conditions you must respect. Ask the tree contractor whether the tree is an ash and who will request the certificate, and keep a copy of the conditions. Ville de Sherbrooke (source, opens in a new tab)
Does Sherbrooke's own electric utility change how I plan storm clean-up?
In one ice-storm episode, Hydro-Sherbrooke reported no outages on its territory the next afternoon. Still, a tree near a line is a matter for the utility. Ask your contractor who will contact it before work starts, and confirm that in writing. Radio-Canada (source, opens in a new tab)
What should a quote for tree removal include?
It should name the address and the tree or trees, describe the work, say whether branches, wood and the stump are hauled away, and state who handles any permit. Ask for proof of insurance, and compare quotes line by line, not only by the total.
How do I compare quotes for storm damage work?
Ask each contractor to quote the same scope: the same trees, the same clean-up and the same roof or fence repairs. Check what is excluded, ask about timing and who deals with permits or the utility, and prefer a written quote over a verbal one.
