One of the several side-effects of a winter storm that causes a lot of damage, such as road accidents, is snow. Snow starts up as monomers gradually mustering till it becomes large enough to alter a lot of things. Because when they melt, they get frozen to ice, thereby making every surface they lay slippery and frictionless, which is the primary cause of road accidents. Hence, until the snow is removed, traveling either by foot or by road vehicles will be unsafe.
The removal of snow can be done by the homeowners or professional snow removal companies. If you decide to do it yourself as a homeowner, it is inexpensive because your expenses will be towards renting or purchasing snow removing equipment such as a shovel, electric shovel, snow pusher, ice chopper, roof rake, roof rake extension, roof heat cable, roof fence bracket, driveway marker, snow salt, and salt spreader.
The affordability of removing snow yourself possess a disadvantage of making you extremely susceptible to injuries. However, the health risk of removing snow by oneself made people hire professionals to get the job done.
Contractors charge about $30 to $70 per hour and about $200 to $600 per season. However, these rates may be altered by a few factors that include the size of the area, season length, and equipment used.

The size of the area occupied by the snow plays a significant role in the increment of labor cost. Because professionals charge hourly, hence it would take a longer time to completely remove snow from a large area and thereby increasing the cost. Furthermore, snow removal companies also charge more for dirt or gravel drive because it takes a longer time to de-ice than concrete floors.
The type of equipment used by professionals alters the labor cost. The use of machinery such as snowblower hastens the removal of snow from your surroundings in lesser time and reduces labor costs. However, the use of this machinery is limited to accommodable spaces. Viz. Professionals can not use snowblower for tight areas, which makes the professional use shovels that would take a lot of time to successfully remove snow from tight spaces and also increases the labor costs.
Before you decide to hire a professional snow removal company, it would be best if you considered the following factors to forestall a low-quality job, such as the damaging of the surfaces that hold snow.
● How fast they respond to your call
● The experience of their employees
● The type of equipment they use on your property
● The price of their services
Since professional snow removal companies are not obligated to possess licenses, it would be beneficial if you ask about the nature of at least three different companies’ job before deliberating about the quotes that suit your requirement.
● Aden Earthworks
● Eden
● The SnowMen
● Kenny Kim Landscape
● Gardenzilla Lawn & Garden
● Conerrock landscaping & construction
● CLS industries
● Gorilla Property Services
● Ontario Property Restoration Inc
The hiring of professionals to remove the snow in your surroundings may be costly, but it is inexpensive if we consider the health hazard you are susceptible to if you do it yourself.
