How to Choose the Best Snow Removal Service

Summer is over, and autumn is on its way. If you’ve lived in Ohio for long you know the pleasant fall breeze leads all too quickly to winter snowstorms. Before you know it, winter will be here and so will foot after foot of snow. Now is the time to begin thinking about professional snow removal services. If you wait until the snow is already on the ground, you’ve waited too late! The best companies’ schedules will already be filled up.

How do you choose the right professional snow removal company? We’ll help you answer that question right now!

Tip #1 Know What You’re Looking for

What exactly do you need? For most homeowners, a clear, accessible driveway is top priority. Plowing simply moves the snow out of your way, while snow removal includes the additional step of hauling the snow away. Additional areas you might want taken care of include outdoor stairs, walkways, and your parking lot if this is a commercial area. Beyond this, you may want snow removal service at off hours to accommodate your work schedule.

Tip #2 Find a Great Snow Removal Company

You don’t want to hire just any company; you want to learn the signs of a great company and hire them. What you’re looking for is someone who is reliable, efficient, and well-equipped. They can show you an up-to-date business license and proof of liability insurance, plus workers’ comp for their employees. They also need a commercial driver’s license for each person who operates a snowplow or other snow removal equipment.

Tip #3 Check Online Reviews

How do you know ahead of time whether a company will do what they say, and do a good job? The internet has made this easy! Glowing recommendations in the form of online reviews from satisfied customers will tell you everything you need to know.

Tip #4 Ask the Right Questions

In order to get the answer you’re looking for, you’ll need to ask the right questions. How do they price snow removal? By what time will they clear your driveway? How many inches of snow will prompt a visit? How fast is their response time in an emergency? Where will they put all that snow once they’ve cleared it? They should be able to easily answer all of these questions to your satisfaction.

If you don’t want to shovel snow yourself, how do you hire a reliable, well-equipped snow removal service? How do you make sure it’s the best one for you? All you need to do is follow this list!
