Seasonal snow removal contracts

Per-visit or seasonal

Per-visit means you pay for exactly what happens. In a mild winter you pay very little. In a hard one you pay considerably more. It is the honest, transparent option, and it is what most residential customers choose.

Seasonal means one price covering the entire winter, however many events there are. You are trading a little expected value for certainty - in a heavy winter you win, in a mild one we do. Most commercial clients and a growing number of homeowners choose it because a fixed number is easier to budget than a variable one.

How we price a season

We do not publish a seasonal number, and it is worth explaining why rather than being cagey about it. A seasonal price depends on your measured square footage, how your property behaves in a storm, and where you sit in the county - and that last one matters more than people expect.

Armada Township and Washington Township reliably take substantially more snow than Warren or Eastpointe. A seasonal figure that is fair in the north is overpriced in the south, and one that is fair in the south would be unsustainable in the north. Publishing a single number would mean one of those two groups is being quietly overcharged, so we quote it properly instead.

Start with the calculator to get your per-visit price. Then ask us to price the season alongside it and you can compare both with real numbers in front of you.

What a seasonal contract includes

• Unlimited visits at the two-inch trigger for the contracted season
• Repeat passes during heavy events at no additional charge
• Bank pushback as the season accumulates
• Priority routing - seasonal customers are placed first
• A fixed payment schedule, typically spread across the season rather than charged up front

Salting is quoted separately either way, so a seasonal contract does not quietly commit you to ice management you did not ask for.

Which one should you pick?

If a variable winter bill is genuinely inconvenient - a fixed household budget, a commercial property with an annual operating plan, a rental you are managing remotely - take the seasonal. If you can absorb a heavy February and would rather pay only for what actually happens, take per-visit.

We will tell you which one we think fits your property, and we do not push seasonal contracts on people who are better off per-visit.
