Snow Plowing

You can pay a snow removal contractor “per push,” paying each time they plow your property through the winter months.  The rate charged is based on the total snowfall during a storm.

Or you can opt for a seasonal contract. Pay one fixed price to have your property plowed for the season, no matter how many — or few — times it snows.

Which method is best for you? It depends.

Here’s a look at both snow removal options.

Per push is exactly like it sounds: you pay the snow removal contractor every time crews show up at your property to plow.

How often they plow depends on the “trigger depth” you and your contractor agree on ahead of time. Trigger depth is the amount of snow accumulation that needs to fall before plowing begins. Typically, it’s three inches.  You can always call us to change the "trigger" to 2"

Per push is a good snow removal option for those who prefer to pay as they go.

Choose per push, and you hope for a mild winter.If it’s a brutal winter, and crews come dozens of times, your yearly snowfall bill will be much higher than a Seasonal Contract. 

Seasonal contracts are great for homeowners and property managers who want to arrange for snow removal, then forget about it.

Huge snowstorm? Don't worry about it — you know your property will be plowed without worries about draining your budget bit by bit every time the snow piles up.

Of the two snow removal options, a seasonal contract is easier for budget planning, because your snow removal costs won't vary wildly month to month through the snow season. You pay the same fixed amount, no matter how many times your snow removal contractor ends up plowing your property.

Snow removal services are highly dependent on weather conditions, which means we need to stay prepared to respond quickly when a storm hits. Requiring a deposit helps us in several ways: 

Commitment: By requiring a deposit, we're making a mutual commitment. You're reserving our services, and we're committing to ensuring we have the right personnel and equipment available to serve you. This ensures that both parties are equally invested in the agreement. 

Upfront Costs: Snow plowing requires upfront investments on our part, such as Insurance and maintenance of equipment. The deposit helps cover these expenses before the season starts. 

Weather Uncertainty: Since snow seasons can be unpredictable, some winters may see heavy snow, while others are lighter. A deposit helps to secure our business viability and readiness, regardless of how much snow we get. Many contractors are no longer offering plowing services due to the lack of snowfall the last few years.
