Do snow removal companies need to be insured?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

How much does snow removal cost?

• <div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-annual-snow-removal-contract-cost.htm">cost of a snow removal service</a> is around <b>$85</b>, but this depends heavily on the amount of snow, your location, and the seasonal demand. An annual snow removal contract will typically cost between <b>$200 and $600</b> for the season. Keep in mind that single services are usually based on the amount of snow, with every six inches adding to your total. You can expect to pay between <b>$40 and $200 </b>in most cases or as high as <b>$500 or more</b> for excessive snowfall. In many cases, it’s more affordable to enter into an annual contract.</p></div>

When should I call a company about snow removal?

• <div><p>The best time to<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hiring-snow-removal-what-know.htm"> hire a snow removal professional</a> is long before snow falls in your area. Signing up for a seasonal contract not only provides peace of mind that your property will be cleared every time it snows, but it’s also often more affordable to sign a contract than paying for one-off services. If you prefer one-off shoveling services, you should contact your snow removal company the day before a storm is expected to schedule service. You can also call the morning of the snowfall, but this might result in delays.</p></div>

Q: Are snow blowers worth the cost?

• <div><p>If you live in a cold climate with frequent heavy snowfall, investing in a snow blower may be worth the cost. Another thing to consider when factoring in cost is if you have physical limitations that make shoveling snow difficult or even dangerous. So, you may want to start shopping around for a snow blower if you have either or both of these scenarios. </p></div>

Q: What's the best way to melt ice without damaging concrete?

• <div><p>Natural ice melts can often get the job done without damaging concrete. You can try non-corrosive options such as kitty litter, alfalfa meal, coffee grounds, sugar beet juice, and heated snow-melting mats. While they may cause some staining, these natural melts are safe for concrete, pets, and the environment.</p></div>
