What questions should I ask my snow removal service company?

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

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>

Can I remove snow myself?

<div><p>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 <b>$60</b>, and a snowblower can range from <b>$100 to $2,300</b>. 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:</p><ul><li><p>If you have a large property or an extended area that needs clearing</p></li><li><p>If you have certain health conditions, such as mobility issues</p></li><li><p>If you want to save time or need the snow removed ASAP</p></li><li><p>If you live in an area with frequent heavy snowfall and want to offset your time spent</p></li><li><p>If you lack the space to store snow removal equipment</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What questions should I ask my snow removal service company?

<div><p>Before <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hiring-snow-removal-what-know.htm">hiring a snow removal company</a>, it&rsquo;s essential first to ask questions to understand the details thoroughly.

Q: How much does an annual snow removal contract cost?

<div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-annual-snow-removal-contract-cost.htm">The cost of an annual snow removal contract</a> is <b>$200 to $600</b>. This cost is significantly impacted by the area you live in. Places that don&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don't remove snow from a driveway?

<div><p>It&rsquo;s no surprise that removing snow from your driveway makes coming and going significantly easier and lowers the risk of falling. However, it&rsquo;s important to note that if you don&rsquo;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.</p></div>
