What shapes a wood chipping & firewood processing job
These are the things that make one job different from another. Mention them in your notes so each pro can scope your job properly.

What is not part of wood chipping & firewood processing
Knowing where the line is keeps the visit on track and keeps you safe. When a job belongs to a specialist, NorTech tells you before you book.
- If labor and materials together get to $1,000 or more, a licensed contractor takes the job, and NorTech points that out ahead of booking.
- Cutting down the tree. Felling, trimming and removal are their own services on NorTech.
- Burning, fireplace or stove installation and chimney sweeping, which are separate trades.
- Drying firewood to a set moisture level unless the pro says it was seasoned.
- Selling or moving diseased wood across areas where local rules restrict it. Ask the pro and your local forestry office.

Add your ZIP and a few words about the job.
Compare pros near you
Each pro sets their own price and warranty. NorTech does not pick for you.

Photos and a warranty
Your pro backs the work with a workmanship warranty — if covered work is not right, your pro makes it right, free.
Before you book wood chipping & firewood processing
Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.
Sort the pile before the visit
Separate brush, clean logs and anything that is rotten, painted, nailed or treated. Wood with metal or paint can damage a chipper blade and should not go into mulch or a stove.
Decide where the chips go
Tell the pro whether you want chips piled, spread, bagged or hauled. A pile dumped in the wrong place is a heavy job to move by hand later.
Measure your fireplace or stove
Firewood is cut to length for the firebox. Measure the depth and tell the pro the length you need.
Take photos of the pile
A wide photo of the brush and logs, with something in the frame for scale, helps the pro judge the volume and the machine they need before arriving.
Plan a dry stacking spot
Choose a place off the ground, a few feet from the house, with air moving around it. Pallets or racks keep splits dry and slow rot and insects.
Confirm what the visit includes
Ask whether stacking, loading, haul away and cleanup are in the quote, and ask about the warranty listed on the pro profile before confirming.
Say where in Foster City you are
Add your neighborhood, for example Isle Cove, Carmel Village, and Treasure Isle, or your ZIP code to your notes. Pros choose the neighborhoods they cover, and it tells them how far they have to travel.
