Whether you need a One Time Visit, a Seasonal Plan, or our *NEW* Vacation Protection Plan (Hire us just for while you're away, pay only for what you need at a discounted rate) we can cover all your needs.
1) Terms & Scope
a) Service Modes: We offer three service options:
• One-Time Visit – a single snow removal service.
• Vacation Protection Plan – coverage while you’re away, ensuring timely clearing.
• Seasonal Plan – up to 20 visits between November 1 and March 31.
b) Vacation Protection: A non-refundable $50 activation fee applies before coverage begins. If snow removal is required while you are away, service will be performed automatically and billed upon your return at the regular one-time visit rate for your property, minus $5 per visit. Photos will be provided as proof of both conditions and completed work.
c) Trigger Depth: Snow clearing begins once 5 cm (2 inches) of new snow has accumulated.
d) Areas Included: Standard service includes the driveway and one front walkway or step area to the main entrance unless otherwise agreed in writing.
