Frequently Asked Questions
What should a snow removal estimate include?
The areas you clear (driveway, walkways, steps, the public sidewalk), the price per visit or per push, salting as its own line, the trigger depth that starts a visit (often 2 in / 5 cm), how soon after the snow stops you arrive, and what happens for storms over about 12 in. Add your payment terms and how long the price holds.
How much do contractors charge per visit?
Typical on-call clearing of a driveway and walkways runs about $45–$160 per visit in the US and $40–$100 CAD in Canada. Plowing a residential driveway is about $35–$100 per push in the US. Price above the middle for long or steep driveways and for heavy-snow regions.
Per visit or per push: which should I quote?
Per push is one plowing pass; per visit covers everything you clear on that trip, such as the driveway plus walkways and salt. Residential customers understand per visit better. Per push suits plowing-only routes and storms that need a second pass.
Can I make the estimate in Canadian dollars?
Yes. Pick CAD in the currency menu. Canadian visitors start in CAD with Canadian typical prices, which are researched separately rather than converted from US prices.
