What to Know Before Hiring a Company for Commercial Snow Removal

What to Know Before Hiring a Company for Commercial Snow Removal

From 2016 to 2017, there were about 9,000 ice-related slip-and-fall accidents throughout Canada. No business wants employee or customer injuries on their watch, so commercial snow removal is important.

However, there are various grounds maintenance companies, and you must pick the right team. A good rule when selecting anyone for a job is that they can accommodate your specific needs.

You should have an idea of what you want out of your landscaping services. Here are some tips for finding a snow removal company for your business. Read on for helpful landscaping service advice.

Pick a Commercial Snow Removal Service With a 100% Guarantee


Any service offering a 100% guarantee may seem like a cheap gimmick, but it's a significant promise to uphold. When companies say "100% satisfaction guaranteed," they're saying, "You can trust the quality of our work."

Finding professional landscape services with a 100% guarantee is a good idea. A snow removal service that says this stands behind its work.

A company not offering a 100% guarantee isn't necessarily bad, but the lack of an offer could be a bad sign. You can look at their website or ask an employee whether they have a 100% guarantee offered.

Choose a "Zero-Tolerance" Snow Removal Company


You're probably busy and don't want to micromanage your grounds maintenance company. Luckily, there are automatic stipulations by which a company will remove ice and snow.

The first condition is a "zero-tolerance" policy. Zero-tolerance, in this case, means that the landscaping services will remove snow at the first signs of snowfall.

Another policy to search for is "1-inch snow removal." The 1-inch snow removal stipulation means that the landscaping company will remove snow when it piles up to an inch high.

Not all companies offer these automatic triggers. Don't be afraid to ask if your chosen landscaping company has zero-tolerance and 1-inch removal stipulations.

Pick a Snow Removal Service With Experience


A commercial snow removal company without years of experience isn't necessarily a bad choice for the job. But you risk hiring someone that's making the snow and ice removal process up as they go along.

It's imperative to ensure the safety of your employees and customers. The fantastic thing about experience is that the company will automatically and professionally handle the job because they know what to do.

Experience guarantees the grounds workers do their work with minimal complications. Work experience also ensures you get your money's worth from the snow removal team.

Need Professional Landscaping Services?


The most important thing to look for in a commercial snow removal company is assurance that they can accommodate your needs. You may want landscaping services that will work without micromanagement.

You should also consider picking a company with a 100% guarantee to show they stand behind their services. Experience is a good condition by which to hire your potential snow removal team as well.
