While it seems attractive and fun to play and enjoy in snow, it is actually a great headache for people staying in colder climates to deal with snow accumulation. Especially when the weather turns ugly, one can end up with real backache. As per medical reports, approximately 10000 people land up in emergency rooms, annually, in Canada for shovelling related injuries and hurts. This is why many business owners and residents prefer hiring commercial snow removal services. However, as you know, availing the luxury of professional snow removal services does not come for free, today in this write up I am going to discuss about commercial snow removal cost in Canada.
Although the pricing of snow removal services are not the same all across Canada, the average cost is $110 with a typical range of $39 and $170. This price can also go up if more sidewalks are there or roof cleaning is required.
Many companies have seasonal charges or event prices, which varies from $50 to $400 or more. However, almost all the commercial snow removal services’ costs are calculated on hourly basis. This means, pricing is set based on the amount of hour/s required for the professional/s to clear an area, plus the equipments used. Not all professionals will use the similar tactics to clear off snow and ice piling. Whether they choose to use plow, blower or shovel; everything mainly depends on the size, situation, season length, depth of snow, estimated time to complete the task and the type of the area that requires cleaning. Equipments are used in a manner that can assists in completing the task as soon as possible.
Commercial snow removal cost varies from one professional to the other because they make use of various cost models. They hardly charge on per square foot. They will take into account the amount of snow and ice their professionals can remove in one hour, along with the type of equipment used to complete the work. Plus, if salting or sanding is required, additional charges are added. This is why a simple drive won’t cost much as compared to drive plus sidewalks. Furthermore, unlike snow plowing, snow removal requires loading the removed snow into a truck and heaving it into a different location. This also means that snow removal services demand not only extra labour but as well up-to-the-minute equipment. All these elevate the price automatically.
Depending on the thickness of the ice and the size of the area, snow removal companies in Canada uses a combination of procedures to clean snow covered driveways and sidewalks. Seeing the cost you might think of doing it yourself. There is no harm in cleaning the snow yourself, but in DIY there are chances of health injuries. You will also waste a lot of time, since you will lack the appropriate equipments. Thus, it is wise to consult with a number of snow removal service providers and then finalize the one that seems best to you.
