DIY vs Professional Snow Removal

DIY Vs. Professional Snow Removal

We’re almost at that time in Winnipeg: You know, the time when the snow flies. And, whether you’re a homeowner, a business owner, or both, you know all too well that once the white stuff lands, it’s here to stay, and stay…and stay.

Clearing snow is a reality of life in Winnipeg, but that doesn’t mean you have to do it yourself. At Cleanr Property Maintenance, our meticulous, highly trained, and experienced snow removal crews are available to do the heavy lifting and take the job off your hands.

If you’re on the fence about whether or not to invest in professional snow removal services this winter, then this post is for you. Below, we’ve laid out some clear pros and cons to help you decide whether DIY snow removal or professional services will be the best fit for your needs and circumstances.

Key Takeaways

  • DIY snow removal is great exercise and you can start the task at any moment, according to your needs and schedule. However, it’s also time-consuming, potentially hazardous, and requires an up-front investment in snow removal equipment.
  • Professional snow removal often comes at a higher price and finding a reliable company is key, but you can trust that the job will be completed in a timely manner with the right equipment to achieve premium-grade outcomes every single time.

Pros & Cons Of DIY Snow Removal

Pros

  • Snow Removal At A Moment’s Notice – If you’re the kind of person who wants to get the driveway cleared at precisely the moment it stops snowing, DIY snow removal will afford you the autonomy and flexibility to start the process according to your exact schedule preferences.
  • A Full-Body Workout – Do you enjoy fresh-air exercise year-round? Snow clearing can provide a comprehensive cardio workout without ever stepping foot in the gym.

Cons

  • Snow Removal Can Be Risky – From slipping and falling to straining a muscle or even damaging your own property, DIY snow removal comes with the potential for a wide variety of different risks and accidents.
  • Time & Energy – Even if you enjoy clearing snow, having to get out there after every snowfall can quickly sap your energy and take away precious time from other tasks that need to be completed.

Pros & Cons Of Professional Snow Removal

Pros

  • Timely Service – Procrastination is never an issue when removing snow is left to our professional crews. Our state-of-the-art routing and GPS software ensure that your property will be cleared as quickly and efficiently as possible.
  • The Right Equipment – From walkway crews in trucks to skid loaders, front-end loaders, snow blowers, and snow plow trucks, we’re fully prepared to handle the snow removal needs of residential and commercial properties of any size.
  • Premium-Grade Outcomes – We’re 200% committed to ensuring that your property remains safe, accessible, and looking its best all winter long, no matter what Mother Nature throws our way.

Cons

  • Price – While it’s true that hiring a snow removal company involves a financial investment, it’s also worth keeping in mind that DIY snow removal isn’t free and requires the up-front purchasing of snow clearing equipment, such as a snow blower.
  • Trustworthiness – Not all snow removal services are created equally, and at Cleanr Property Maintenance we’re dedicated to exceptional service provided by licensed and insured crews.
