You fill in the short form or call the number on this page. We pass your request to one independent local tree company that serves your town. That company contacts you, quotes the job and does the work directly, and you decide whether to hire them. - Do I pay anything to use this site? No. Homeowners never pay us. If you hire the company, you pay them directly for their work. - Is the estimate free? Most of the tree companies we connect you with give free estimates for removal and stump grinding. Confirm this when they call you back. - Are you a tree service? No. This site is an independent referral service. We connect you with an independent local tree company, which quotes and does the work directly. - Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Allentown? Trees on your own property generally don't need one, but trees between the sidewalk and the curb are street trees, and the City of Allentown has a Shade Tree Commission and a street tree permit process. Check with the city before removing a street tree. - What should I check before hiring? Ask for proof of liability insurance and, if the company has employees, workers' compensation. Pennsylvania also requires most home improvement contractors to register with the Attorney General's office, so ask for the registration number and get the price in writing. - Which towns do you cover?
