"Mr. White did an excellent job and provided superior service beyond any of the other 2 plumbers called for this incident. The first local one didn't do anything except say they couldn't do it. "we don't have a jet.". Mr. White, however, did clear the line considerably, and before he left, we knew exactly where the issue was and if it might be an issue again, what to do! He's a excellent person foremost and an awesome plumber too! I would hire him any time I have any type of issue, even beyond his proven work here for plumbing. He is very communicative, down-to-Earth, and knowledeable. He is an exceptional craftsman and I am glad to have met him despite the circumstances! Please have him give you a quote! You won't be sorry! Thanks again, Mr. White! Happy Holidays! -SFC Mike Gordon"

Very professional, efficient, neat, thorough and cleaned up after every visit I would highly recommend them, you can’t go wrong when you choose Cedarwood."

My name is Leonard and I work for a big tree company during the week. In my off time I like to pick up tree work at affordable qoutes for homeowners. I am a Foreman at my main job and have been doing professional tree work for 3 years. I am straight forward about things and always happy to help out and see trees transform with more life or open an area up to allow for other things to be placed in that space

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.

Leaving a dead tree can expose your other trees to potential diseases, pests, and fungi, and it can also be a hazard. If your tree is dead, then you should hire a tree maintenance service to remove it. Cutting down trees is extremely dangerous, and a professional can ensure no one gets hurt and there is no damage to your property. Tree removal costs between $200 and $2,000 and will prevent future issues and keep you and your property safe.

You may wonder whether tree removal is tax deductible: Tree removal is not tax-deductible for homeowners unless it's related to a federally declared disaster. In that case, the cost may qualify as a casualty loss. However, if you own a commercial property, like a rental home, tree removal could be deductible if it's necessary for safety, maintenance, or part of a larger capital improvement project, and you must hire a professional tree removal service and keep documentation. Always consult a tax professional beforehand to see if you qualify.

Licensing requirements for arborists, also known as tree surgeons, vary by state and municipality. Many areas require a license, which often involves specialized education and experience. Even if not mandated, it's wise to hire a licensed professional as they tend to have more experience. Beyond licensing, look for certifications from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), as this indicates a higher level of expertise. Certified arborists must typically pass a comprehensive exam. Always confirm that the arborist has a business license and is fully insured to protect yourself from liability. Seeking positive recommendations from local homeowners is also a good step in finding a qualified professional.

Ideally, you’ll have a good enough relationship with your neighbors that you can kindly mention this task in regular conversation. However, every neighbor (and neighborhood) is different. Your best bet will always be to ask directly and nicely, offering to contribute to the tree trimming efforts if you’d like. However, if you are bothered by the tree and your neighbor is unwilling to cut it, you can involve the help of the homeowners’ association or local authorities, if applicable.
