Snow Removal
Snow removal is necessary for safety, convenience and to protect property (weight on decks and
roofs is a big concern. It can also be a huge hassle, particularly when the unexpected blizzard
strikes and snow removal services are at a premium. You can avoid the hassles by contracting in
advance with our snow removal service to clear the way when you need it most. We are able to put
regular clients on contract with a commitment to plow whenever the snow reaches a certain depth (
2.5-3inches -- but that could depend on location). Therefore, how often we remove the snow is
dependant on the weather, sometimes it is every three hours, other times it can be weeks before
removal is needed but clients still pay contract rate. Most companies also offer to remove snow on
a will-call basis for a flat or hourly rate. This is most common for owners of vacation homes who
only want it cleared when they will be there. Regular residents tend to go on contract because it's
economical and easier to budget for.
Different companies offer types of services. For driveways, decks & walkways, roofs and parking
lots. The variety of equipment used depends on the job size and amount of snow.
Snow Removal
D&B offers both Residential and Commercial snow removal. Winter maintenance is an important
part of the service package that we offer our customers. Snow removal can be a critical service for
many commercial and residential customers.
Pre-treatments commence when ground and air temperatures are close to or will be expected to
drop below freezing, as soon as there is sufficient evidence, either from weather forecasts and/ or
visual observation of precipitation. Usually this is in the form of snow, but keep in mind, rain can
freeze upon ground contact and present hazardous and slippery conditions as well.
Snowplowing is done after a snowfall of 2 inches or over on an automatic clearing basis
Salt applications can be included with your price or priced separately per application.
**To provide an accurate and impartial method of billing our Winter Maintenance customers, we
rely on the National Weather Service and their available local observers reports.
