Two contracts, one written price
A residential driveway contract and a commercial lot contract are quoted differently, but every contract that comes out of it lists the same three things: the trigger depth, the salting terms and the season dates. Pick the path that fits your property.
Residential driveway contract
- Send the address and a couple of photos from the street
- Get a flat seasonal price with the trigger depth and salting spelled out
- A quick site check before the season confirms the number
- Cleared after every qualifying snowfall, with a service note each time
Commercial lot & plaza contract
- Site walk to map surfaces, stacking areas and access
- Written quote: seasonal flat, per push, or a salting-per-application hybrid
- Certificate of insurance on file before the season starts
- Time-stamped service log after every visit, for the manager or board
Why now, not December
A route is finite by design — it only works when the addresses on it are close together. Those spots get taken in September and October, ahead of the first snowfall, which is also when property managers renew or re-tender commercial contracts. Waiting for the first storm means choosing from whoever still has room.
The full booking timelineSeasonal or per visit?
A seasonal flat price covers every qualifying snowfall between the season dates — one number, whatever the winter does. Per visit suits a second property or an owner willing to bet on a mild year. Both options are on every quote, residential or commercial.

Booking questions
- Why sign a seasonal contract before it snows?
- A snow route only works when the properties on it are close together, so every operator caps how many addresses it takes. Those spots are booked in September and October. Calling on the morning of the first storm means choosing from whoever still has room, at whatever price they name.
- What happens after I sign up?
- A short residential site check, or a full site walk for a commercial lot, confirms the number before the season starts. The trigger depth, salting terms and season dates go on the contract, and the price does not move after that.
- Is it too late to book once winter has already started?
- Not always — ask. Whether a route near you has room by December depends on how full it already is; the answer is a straight yes or no, not a promise that cannot be kept.
- Can I get a one-time visit instead of signing a season?
- Yes. Same-day and emergency clearing is priced per visit with no contract needed, for a driveway or a lot. A one-off visit can also convert into a seasonal contract afterwards if you decide to cover the rest of the winter.
- Do commercial contracts work the same way as residential?
- The shape is the same — trigger depth, salting terms, season dates, all written down — but a commercial quote follows a site walk rather than photos, because stacking room, islands and fire routes change the price. Property managers and boards typically start that process earliest, in late summer.
