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>

"Late most days, did not show up for agreed upon work days without notifying me, installed batches of defective grass sod and did not show up three times since for agreed to meetings to address defective grass, on text messages (does not answer calls when contact is over) blamed the manufacturer, then me… ( never bothered to check what problem was). During the work, P&F owner did not provide samples of stone to be installed as per contract and asked me to find these. I found them at supplier 2.5 miles from my home… The owner of P&F reinterpreted our contract to mean what he (as a non lawyer) thinks it means: one example was interesting and revealing: he does not think the law on 1 year warranties applies to him because he is a landscaper and not a contractor… I find that funny and indicative of his thinking. I caution anyone considering hiring P&F: this is not a professional outfit."

FAQs for snow removal projects in Hyannis, MA

Before hiring a snow removal company, 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:

What are the procedures for a snowstorm? Do I need to call you each time, or do you automatically come out?
Do you wait until after the snow has stopped falling or make multiple passes throughout the storm?
What is your method of removal?
Do you use salt after the snow is removed? Is it pet-safe?
How does your billing work? Do you bill extra for blizzard conditions?
Can I sign an annual contract, or do you bill for each storm?

The cost of an annual snow removal contract is $200 to $600. This cost is significantly impacted by the area you live in. Places that don’t receive considerable snowfall might charge less for an annual contract, and those areas that get heaps of snow throughout the fall and winter can expect to pay on the higher side. In addition, property size, expected response time, and extra services like clearing a sidewalk can also impact your cost.

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.

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:

If you have a large property or an extended area that needs clearing
If you have certain health conditions, such as mobility issues
If you want to save time or need the snow removed ASAP
If you live in an area with frequent heavy snowfall and want to offset your time spent
If you lack the space to store snow removal equipment

It’s no surprise that removing snow from your driveway makes coming and going significantly easier and lowers the risk of falling. However, it’s important to note that if you don’t remove snow from your driveway, you run the risk of damaging your paving. As the snow melts, water can seep into your driveway. This can lead to the formation of cracks. When the water freezes, this expands the minor cracks, leading to more significant damage.
