This is important because each provider charges differently. For example, some charge per service and effort, some charge due to snow type while some charge based on their equipment.
The location also plays a great role here.
To put it differently, if you live in an area with a heavy snowfall, you will be instantly charged more.
For instance, if you pay $70 for 6-inch snow removal than you will pay extra for each additional 6 inch of snow.
This is normally done because the contractor needs extra effort for the job. For instance, it needs bigger plow swipes and gas.
In order to avoid this, you can ask for a discount. As shown above, if you create a contract, you will get charged the same every time.
However, read the contract before signing it, see the service offers to learn what to expect. In the end, make sure that the company you choose has the following offers:
- Certificate and insurance
- Removal of pile included
- Certain number of plows per season
If you need more plowing, they would be charged additionally. Moreover, find out about the response time.
