What to Look for in a Snow/Ice Removal Services Company

There are a lot of snow and ice removal services companies out there, all providing similar services, but how do you select one that will achieve your goal—keeping your lots, driveways and sidewalks clean and snow-free before, during and after a winter storm?

Insurance

A good snow removal services company has liability insurance that is specific for snow and ice management. Some companies use a lesser, general liability policy, but that can often fall short and leave you responsible in the event of a slip and fall as the result of poor snow/ice management. Find out who is responsible in the case of damage to your property or grounds as the result of an accident.

Safety

A good snow removal services company has an excellent safety record. Liability insurance is just a part of this commitment. Make sure that your prospective snow/ice management company has specific experience in snow/ice management, and not some guy with a plow attached to his pickup truck. Good snow removal company’s employees are well trained in handling the treacherous weather, as well as how to avoid damaging the customer’s property. The company’s equipment is inspected frequently and maintained to the highest possible safety standards.

Fast Turn Around Time

Snow doesn’t follow a 9-to-5 work schedule and neither should your snow removal services company. Since most snowfall occurs at night, your snow removal services company should be a 24/7/365 operation. During a storm they know exactly where the snow is coming down, when it stops and when the best time to take care of the snow and ice left behind by the storm is. They respond immediately to your requests and make sure that the snow/ice management services are delivered quickly and efficiently.

Communication

One of the most important aspects of snow removal is knowing where and when services will be done and be able to prove that they have been there. A good snow removal company keeps detailed records of the times and services provided for each client during a snow event. It also has a dedicated operations team behind it, solving problems, monitoring the weather and snowfall, and dispatching their snow removal fleets to the areas that need them most. The best snow removal companies have state-of-the-art facilities and equipment to communicate both with their work crews and their customers.
