What to Look For in a Residential Snow Contractor

Every winter, many homeowners choose to hand off their snow shoveling to contractors or entrepreneurial individuals. But before you make an agreement, it’s important to get a few key details sorted out. Knowing whether you want a professional snow company or a more informal service is the first step.

Here are some essential questions to ask any snow contractor:

• How quickly will my property be serviced after a snowfall?

• Do you have backup equipment in case of a breakdown?

• Do you charge per push, per event, or offer seasonal rates?

• Do you apply ice melt on walkways and driveways?

• Will you repair any turf or plant damage caused by snow removal?

• Are you fully insured in case of property damage?

These questions help ensure you’re hiring a reliable, professional service no matter the snowfall amount. Figure out which of these are most important to you, Maybe you work from home and waiting extra time to be cleared doesn't matter much to you. In that case, maybe hiring a cheaper company that has larger routes would be beneficial.

At GreenCharge, we confidently answer “yes” to most of these. We typically schedule our routes so that a 4-inch snowfall is fully cleared from all customers’ driveways within six hours of the snow ending. Additionally, we offer an option for a priority driveway cleaning, which in most cases means your driveway will be cleared before 7:00am.

While we offer both seasonal snow clearing and per-push plans, we recommend the seasonal plan because it lets you set a clear budget and guarantees your driveway stays clean all winter—no need to sacrifice service to save money. In fact, our seasonal contracts are often priced so competitively that just a few snowfalls make them equal in cost to paying per push.
