These fees only apply when the specific condition exists. Here’s why each one is in place:
Difficult Access — $75
Long driveway, deep ground snow, or limited parking
Why we have it: Extra time and effort are required to get equipment to the house and work safely.
FAQ: What counts as difficult access? Long shared driveways, no nearby parking, or significant distance from the road to the house.
Same-Day / Emergency — $150
Booked and completed the same day
Why we have it: Same-day work requires dropping or reshuffling other jobs and often means working in active or just-finished storm conditions.
FAQ: Is same-day service guaranteed? No. It depends on weather, safety, and current schedule. When it is provided, the $150 fee applies.
After-Hours / Weekend — $100
Evenings, weekends, and holidays
Why we have it: Work outside normal hours has higher personal cost and limited support availability.
FAQ: Does this stack with the emergency fee? Yes — if the job is both same-day and after-hours/weekend, both fees can apply.
Full Snow Cleanup — $75–$150
Rake and push snow away from the foundation and immediate house area (no hauling away)
Why we have it: Moving snow away from the foundation helps prevent water issues and keeps walkways clearer.
FAQ: Do you haul snow away? No. This service moves snow away from the house only.
Power Lines Near Roof — $150
Power lines near the roof edge
Why we have it: Working near power lines requires extra caution, slower work, and higher risk. This is a non-negotiable safety fee.
FAQ: Will I know about this fee ahead of time? Yes — if power lines are visible or disclosed, it will be discussed before work begins.
Solar Panels — $125
Working around or near solar arrays
Why we have it: Solar panels require careful work to avoid damage and extra time to navigate around them safely.
FAQ: Can you still clear a roof that has solar panels? Yes, with proper care and the safety fee applied. We do not clean the solar panels themselves — only the surrounding roof snow.
Other Hazards — $75–$200
Antennas, skylights, weak areas, etc. (priced per hazard)
Why we have it: These features increase risk and require slower, more careful work.
FAQ: How is the exact amount determined? It depends on the type and severity of the hazard and is discussed before work starts.
Heavy / Wet Snow Surcharge — $75–$150
Very heavy, wet, or icy snow
Why we have it: Heavy wet snow is much harder and more time-consuming to remove than light powder.
FAQ: When does this apply? When snow conditions are significantly heavier or wetter than normal for the quoted snow depth.
Outbuildings (Garage, Shed, etc.) — Add $75–$150
Quoted based on size and access
Why we have it: Outbuildings vary widely in size, height, and access, so they are priced separately from the main house.
FAQ: Can outbuildings be done at the same time as the house? Yes — scheduling them together is usually more efficient.
Coming Soon
Ice Dam Removal — Starting at $425
Standard and Heavy/Severe options
Why we will have it: Once proper equipment is acquired, we will offer professional ice dam removal as an add-on service.
FAQ: Is this available now? No. It will be offered in the future. At launch we focus on prevention through full roof snow removal.
