I am sure you will not get this done for nothing, and the eventual cost will be a few hundred dollars.

Probably more than a few hundred dollars, VT, especially if you want the stump and roots removed. We just had a holly tree cut down that was planted too close to our neighbor's CYV patio and whose roots were lifting one of her slabs. The roots ran from the back all the way to the front. It never should have been planted there (by developer's landscaper in 2011) and came with the house. We got three estimates and used the company that took out our too-tall palm tree in the front.
The cost for the palm tree, with stump removal, was $600. (We had palm rats in the garage and were not about to wait for someone to come take the palm for free.) The cost of the holly tree, with stump and root removal, was $1000. I believe the name of the company is Airborne. Licensed and insured, good equipment, excellent job and cleanup.
