Priced the way Snow Removal work is billed
A driveway plow / clear and a full storm cleanup don't get quoted the same way, so why would every trade? SideWRK prices Snow Removal the way the work is really billed: off a per-service menu (e.g. driveway plow $45, storm package $85). Tap the work, put in the numbers, and the line prices itself — no napkin math, no undercharging a job because you rushed the quote.
What moves a Snow Removal price
Two Snow Removal jobs that look the same on paper can be a hundred dollars apart once you're on site. Here's what actually changes the number — the things to size up before you quote:
- Per-push vs seasonal — a per-storm price protects you in a heavy winter; a flat seasonal contract is a gamble both ways.
- Depth and timing — a pre-dawn clear before a business opens is worth more than a midday driveway.
- De-icing — salt is a material cost and a liability line, priced on top of the plow, not folded into it.
What a Snow Removal job puts on the record
Every trade documents something different, and Snow Removal is no exception. SideWRK captures the driveway size and the rest of what your work needs on the record — the details that protect you and make the invoice stand up:
- the driveway size
- which surfaces to clear — drive, walks, steps, deck
- whether driveway stakes are in
- slip/refreeze-liability and snow-pile-ordinance notes
Example note on a job: "Cleared to pavement where possible — hardpack ice left under vehicle; advised salting."
