The Benefits of Professional Snow Removal vs. DIY
Winter in Greater Boston brings its fair share of snow, and with it, the need for effective snow removal. Homeowners often face a choice: handle snow removal themselves or hire a professional service like Snowsurance. While DIY snow removal might seem like a cost-effective solution, it comes with its own set of challenges and risks. In this post, we’ll explore the benefits of choosing professional snow removal over DIY, and why Snowsurance is your best bet for keeping your property safe and snow-free all winter long.
Safety First: Avoiding Injuries and Accidents
DIY Risks: Shoveling snow is physically demanding and can lead to serious injuries, especially if done incorrectly. According to the National Safety Council, shoveling snow can lead to strains, sprains, and even heart attacks due to the exertion required. Slips and falls on icy surfaces are also a common risk, leading to potential injuries.
Professional Benefits: Hiring a professional snow removal service like Snowsurance significantly reduces the risk of injury. Our trained team handles all the heavy lifting, using proper techniques and equipment to clear snow efficiently. Our MeltMagician salting service may help prevent ice formation, potentially reducing the risk of slips and falls on your property.
Efficiency and Effectiveness
DIY Limitations: DIY snow removal is often time-consuming and labor-intensive. Homeowners may not have access to the right tools or equipment, making it difficult to clear snow effectively, especially during heavy snowfall. Improper removal can leave behind patches of ice or snow, which can quickly refreeze and become hazardous.
Professional Benefits: Snowsurance utilizes industry-grade snow blowers, plows, and shovels, ensuring that snow is removed quickly and thoroughly. Our team is experienced in handling different types of snow, from light and powdery to wet and heavy, ensuring that your driveway, sidewalks, and walkways are clear and safe. Our efficient service allows you to stay warm and cozy inside, without the hassle of shoveling snow for hours.
Time Savings: More Free Time for You
DIY Drawbacks: Shoveling snow can take up a significant amount of time, especially if you have a large driveway or multiple walkways. For busy homeowners, finding the time to clear snow after each storm can be a challenge, often leading to delays in other important tasks.
Professional Benefits: With Snowsurance, you don’t have to worry about finding time to clear snow. Our team automatically services your property for storms predicted to produce at least two inches of snow, ensuring that your driveway and walkways are clear before you even step outside. This gives you more time to focus on what matters most, whether it’s spending time with family, working from home, or simply enjoying the winter season.
Reliable and Consistent Service
DIY Challenges: Consistency is key when it comes to snow removal, but it’s easy to fall behind when the snow keeps coming. Missing just one day of snow removal can lead to a buildup that’s hard to manage. Weather conditions can change rapidly, making it difficult to keep up with DIY efforts.
Professional Benefits: Snowsurance provides reliable, consistent service throughout the winter season. We monitor weather conditions closely and adjust our schedules to ensure your property is always taken care of. Our customers can choose from flexible pricing plans—StormPay, SeasonPass, and SeasonPass Flex—each designed to suit different needs and budgets, ensuring that you receive the level of service you require.
Protecting Your Property
DIY Risks: Improper snow removal techniques can damage your property. Shovels can scratch or crack surfaces, and using the wrong type of ice melt can harm your driveway and walkways. Homeowners may also inadvertently create hazards by piling snow in areas where it can obstruct visibility or melt and refreeze.
Professional Benefits: Snowsurance is committed to protecting your property. Our team is trained to use the right equipment and techniques to minimize the risk of damage. We know how to apply de-icing agents correctly to mitigating ice buildup. Our services help maintain the value and safety of your property, giving you peace of mind.
