Choosing and enrolling
Do you offer residential and commercial service?
Yes. We review homes and suitable small commercial properties. Their service scope and billing terms differ, so your estimate is prepared for the property type.
When does snow clearing start?
Your accepted agreement defines the snow trigger, authorized ice-only treatment, priorities, and response expectations. We confirm these before enrollment.
Does Standard include every sidewalk and entrance?
No. Standard includes the quoted primary pedestrian route and entrance. Additional routes or access points must be expressly included.
Can I request service after a storm starts?
You can submit a request, but acceptance depends on the property, conditions, and available capacity. A request does not reserve capacity or dispatch a crew.
Do I need to enroll again each winter?
Yes. Service requires an accepted current-season agreement and confirmed capacity. Previous service does not automatically reserve a place.

How is residential snow service billed?
Residential service follows the continuous Snow Event definition in your agreement. The accepted estimate defines snow-band pricing, applicable clearing charges, and treatment terms.

Commercial service uses billing periods of up to 24 hours beginning at the agreed trigger, under the accepted agreement. Your proposal defines interim clearing, final cleanup, and extended-storm billing.

Your commercial proposal identifies authorized vehicle and pedestrian treatment areas and defines distinct application charges separately from snow-clearing charges.
Conditions and expectations
What happens during a long storm or when ice returns?
Your agreement defines authorized interim work, final cleanup, and follow-up treatment. Additional work may be billable. Continuing weather and refreezing can change conditions after service.
