The Best Time of Year to Set Up Snow Removal

You can expect the City of Vancouver to address priority locations for snow removal, like major roads, bus routes, bridges, emergency access routes, etc., the Park Boards to handle Major Park access roads, primary parking areas, and some park pathways in town, but residential side streets (that are not priority routes), sidewalks adjacent to non-City owned property, and laneways (unless required for City collection operations) are not included in the City snow response.

So, when is it the right time to reserve and schedule your snow removal? The less time this question occupies the back of your mind, the better. The sooner you schedule us for this service, the sooner you can rest assured that you’re covered.

When is the right time to looking for Snow Removal Service?

To make sure you lock in a contractor for snow removal, start in the fall. Start in September, October, or latest in November. This is the best way to make sure you get a reliable contractor like Emkor.

The Benefits of booking Snow Removal early

Professional, Fast, and Efficient

A professional has the experience to work quickly and do a great job. You can handle all the other challenging aspects of your business or life because you know you have someone on the job, removing snow. If you are someone who needs to DIY, keep us in mind if you or when you do need help.

Cleared Out Even During Storms or Holidays

Holidays are a time that you probably do not want to be clearing snow from your entranceway, or driveway. Fortunately, tis the season for a professional snow removal service like Emkor. We work holidays, during snowstorms, weekends, you name it. If you’ve contracted with us, we will show up.

Reasonably Priced

A good snow removal plan is a great deal. When you factor in the cost of equipment rental, and your time to do the job yourself, you’ve surpassed the price on your snow removal contract.

Liability

As a business owner, you’re liable for any accidents that happen on your property due to improper snow removal. As you know, lawsuits are no fun and can affect your life for years to come. You can also be fined by some municipalities if you do not remove snow in a timely manner.

Less Stress

People experience extra stress as a result of winter conditions. Waking up to a thick layer of snow may look pretty, but for many, it is a very inconvenient truth. It can mess up your entire schedule. This can add some unexpected stress to your day. If you have already outsourced this work, no worries!

It’s Just Safer

Shovelling sounds like great exercise, but it isn’t the safest way. When you combine extremely cold temperatures with heavy lifting, a lot can go wrong. If you have anything other than great health, like a heart condition or high blood pressure, or you are simply not strong winded, the potential for a health-related problem increases.

Potential for Damage

Without proper experience, there is potential for damage to your landscaping, your foundation, or other sensitive structures like your roof. Snow removal professionals are trained for this, during a major event or a usual one.

No Equipment Requirements

From snow blowers to shovels and salts, we are already well equipped. This can get pretty expensive depending on the extent of the work you require.

Far Less Commercial Responsibility

Whether required by law or required for the steady flow of your business, one of the most troublesome things you may face is removing snow from access to the property. But whether the safety issues involve family or employees and customers, keeping areas clear of snow and ice is essential.
