What questions should I ask my snow removal service company?

<div>Before <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hiring-snow-removal-what-know.htm">hiring a snow removal company</a>, it’s essential first to ask questions to understand the details thoroughly. Since every company has different policies and snow removal methods, it’s best to clarify upfront before you’re left in a heap of snow. Some starting questions to consider include: <ul><li>What are the procedures for a snowstorm? Do I need to call you each time, or do you automatically come out?</li><li>Do you wait until after the snow has stopped falling or make multiple passes throughout the storm?</li><li>What is your method of removal?</li><li>Do you use salt after the snow is removed? Is it pet-safe? </li><li>How does your billing work? Do you bill extra for blizzard conditions?</li><li>Can I sign an annual contract, or do you bill for each storm?</li></ul></div>

Do snow removal companies need to be insured?

<div>Yes, most states require that snow removal companies be insured under workers' compensation. This protects the employees financially if an injury were to happen (and when dealing with ice and snow, it’s possible that injury could occur). In addition, most states require snow removal companies to be covered under general liability, which would help cover the cost of any property damage incurred during the removal process.</div>

Can I remove snow myself?

<div>Depending on where you live and your average snowfall, removing snow from your property yourself with either a shovel or a snowblower is reasonable. A snow shovel costs around $60, and a snowblower can range from $100 to $2,300. However, taking a DIY approach to this isn’t always the best option. In these cases, it’s best to hire a professional snow removal company:<ul><li>If you have a large property or an extended area that needs clearing</li><li>If you have certain health conditions, such as mobility issues</li><li>If you want to save time or need the snow removed ASAP</li><li>If you live in an area with frequent heavy snowfall and want to offset your time spent</li><li>If you lack the space to store snow removal equipment</li></ul></div>

Fantastically! We need snow removed with snow blowers and shovels because our property's surfaces are pavers and stone so you can't use a plow. They've cleared us out three times in the past two weeks. James Faris and his crew are first rate. I'm so glad I found them!

The price is high. The quality is good. Maybe later on I will find somebody who is less expensive. He is polite and we have good service, it's not cheap.

When Zach first took care of snow removal for my mother's house in December, he was wonderful. His staff was efficient and respectful and I was very grateful to have peace-of-mind that my mother would be dug out because she lives in Connecticut and I live on Long Island. When we first...

I believe they had good intentions. They were good in responding to my phone calls. Unfortunately, they were unable to come due to first being too busy on the day of the storm and then the next day their truck had a mechanical breakdown.
