Time Needed for Multiple Bids
When you have ample time, you will be able to get multiple bids to find the commercial snow removal company that is the best fit for your commercial property. You will have time to properly vet each company to make sure they are reputable, reliable, and do excellent work.
Make sure to ask plenty of questions to ensure they can meet your property’s unique needs during the winter months. It’s also a good idea to ask for references. When you contact each reference, be sure to ask how satisfied they have been with the snow removal company and how well the company communicates. The last thing you want is to have to worry about whether the company will actually show up when you need them.
Slots Fill Up Fast
Commercial snow removal companies only have so many employees and equipment options during a big storm, which means slots are limited and they often fill up quickly. You want to avoid this worst case scenario at the start of winter: having to call every company in the Cuyahoga County area only to be told they do not have any openings because you’re contacting them too late.
A Chance to Plan Ahead
Commercial snow removal companies also need to plan ahead for the season. This means ensuring that they have everything that they need to be able to complete each job. They likely need to order sand, gravel, snow-melt, and salt and need to know approximately how much will be needed for the season ahead. This is one of the many reasons they encourage commercial businesses to get on their schedule ahead of time.
Planning ahead offers a great benefit to you too. You can rest easy knowing that your commercial property will have cleared sidewalks and parking lots for your employees and customers to walk and drive safely. It’s not something that you want to leave up to chance—it’s important to take action and prepare ahead of time.
Snow-Free Walk-Through
Ideally, the snow-removal company will visit your property for a walk-through, and it is much more productive when they can do this on a snow-free day. This way, they are able to have clear visibility to see exactly where your boundary lines are and any landscape features they may need to protect, all while getting an accurate snow and ice management plan in place. They will be able to determine approximately how long it will take to complete the job after each snowfall and where the plowed snow should be taken or placed.
