Snow Removal
We would also like to maintain your grounds 'as needed' this winter.
Services are provided hourly at $25/hr. with a 1.66hr minimum. + cost of De-Icer. [If required]
The snow will be removed by means of Plow, Snow Blower and or by Shovel. We also provide services to remove snow from roofs. Generally speaking: we do not do "auto pilot' for our residential customers. That is we do not provide services merely because it snows. As a commercial customer it makes sense for you to want your snow removed at a certain depth. For Example: The Post Office needs their snow removed when there is an accumulation of an inch on the ground. If it is in our agreement, We would remove the snow to your specifications.
If salt is to be put down, it will be added to your bill. You may choose to provide salt. If you desire, we can also scrape the sidewalks off with a chipper, rather than 'just salting' these high traffic areas.
Prices Subject to change throughout the season.
If you decide to have us service your property we will need to do a walk-through before services begin.
As with our summer work; Payment is expected upon completion of work, when possible, or pre-arranged intervals.
