"Travis was very responsive and went out if his way to work on a few stumps that were very challenging to remove. I would definitely recommend him to anyone and I even have him coming back in the spring to do some grading and yard work."

"Of the few tree service professionals who came to our home, Mr. Jon Jalbert was the most professional and personable, providing the details and operations specific to the tree removal site. Only he provided a written estimate for the work, which is money well invested in such an efficient, knowledgeable and conscientious crew. They worked around the septic leach field, expertly trimmed and removed trees close to our house, ground up the tree stumps, and tidied the yard only leaving the amount of wood chips requested for mulch, and made cleanup like a thing of the past. And all of this in a rainy day, well less than the two day estimate time for completion! What a superb crew: Cooper, Marshall and Shano! This is quality service at its best!"

"I had hired Kucharski last year, and I was so impressed with their work that I asked them to come back this year for tree and stump removal. The arborist listened to what I wanted. He made an educated estimate of what had to be done and gave me a fair price. The company worked with my schedule to come out and do the work. They were quick, safe, and thorough. They cleaned up all the branches and wood chips, and they removed the downed trees. Everyone was courteous and considerate of my needs. I've already signed a contract for next year's work. I can't say enough good things about them. Hire them! You will be pleased."

"We hired Christian to remove tree stumps on our property. He gave us a price the next day and started work within a week. His work ethic is incredible—he left the site spotless and communicated clearly every step of the way. Since then, he’s regraded our driveway, removed an old chicken coop, and cleared brush. It’s safe to say Christian is our go-to contractor now."

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Portsmouth, NH

Always transport chainsaws with the engine off and chain brake engaged. Use the protective bar cover provided by the rental company to prevent accidental contact with the cutting chain. Position the chainsaw securely in your vehicle to prevent movement during transit, ideally in a truck bed or trunk rather than the passenger compartment. 

For gas models, ensure the fuel cap is tight and position the saw to minimize potential leakage. Keep the chainsaw away from passengers and other items that could be damaged.

Proper safety equipment is essential when operating any chainsaw. At minimum, you should have eye protection (safety glasses or a face shield), hearing protection (earplugs or earmuffs), cut-resistant gloves, chainsaw chaps or pants, and sturdy boots with good traction. 

Many rental facilities offer basic safety kits alongside chainsaw rentals. If you'll be using chainsaws regularly, investing in quality personal safety gear is advisable. Never operate a chainsaw without appropriate protective equipment, regardless of the job size.

While rental companies will rent chainsaws to beginners, inexperience significantly increases safety risks. If you've never used a chainsaw before, request a demonstration from the rental staff and thoroughly review the operator's manual before starting. Begin with smaller, more manageable cutting tasks to build comfort with the tool's operation. 

For significant cutting jobs, consider either taking a chainsaw safety course first or hiring professionals instead. The learning curve for safe chainsaw operation is steep, and caution is paramount.

If mechanical problems develop during your rental, immediately cease operation and contact the rental company. Most reputable rental businesses will either provide a replacement chainsaw or repair the equipment if the breakdown resulted from normal use rather than misuse. Document the issue with photographs when possible and maintain records of when you reported the problem. 

Having your rental agreement readily available when you call will expedite the resolution process. The rental company should adjust your rental period to account for any downtime.
