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>

Very fast response. Excellent work on removing trees. From initial contact to job completed, less than one week! Cleaned up ALL debris from the felling of trees. Professional and courteous. We are hiring them again for dirt work/landscaping our back yard. We highly recommend SFC terrain works!

Since I didn't need this spigot, I called B&D to remove it. However, as it's a lake cabin, the spigot didn't have a shut-off and was tied directly to the kitchen supply lines. They were able to cut the pipe and cap the spigot line without affecting the kitchen water. While on the job, they...

I don't know of anyone that thrilled with this company. They have good response as a whole, as they are anxious to take any job, but work is shoddy, not detailed. Not as good as the guy I used to have. And the prices were very high compared to competitors. No attention to detail. No...

The staff was great to work with. The quality of the work was very good. What I really liked was that there was really no water application and removal with this service. It was almost too easy.

Logs and Limbs service was outstanding. I had made the mistake of hiring a different tree service from out of town, that came to my door, as they had been working for other neighbors earlier in the week. I did not check Angie's List first as I should have. Needless to say, the other company did...
