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>

"Well it was ok . First I never saw the message of him telling me he was 5 min away so he just shows up at my door said he was there to cut the grass I showed him how to get to the back yard so that he could assess and let me how much it would cost . He then told me it was 30 dollars so he started removing the bikes and trash can out of his way . I asked him did he take card or cash he told me cash I said well I need to go and get cash because I didn’t have any he said okay I went right to the gas station 3 min from my house . when I came back home I saw rhe glass shattered. When I went out my front door because if I would have opened the back door it would have all fell to the ground the glass. So when I went around back and showed him he asked if my kids did it and I told him no . He asked was it already like that I said no because I opened it when you first got here ."

FAQs for snow removal projects in Stafford, VA

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.
