Snow clearance in Evansville
Snow removal firms and roofers.
2 pros in Evansville
Snow clearance in Evansville is shaped by ice as much as by snow. In the January 2009 ice storm, about one inch of ice fell from Evansville south and east, fallen trees and limbs blocked many streets, and a house roof in the city collapsed under the weight of ice and snow. Some outages from that storm lasted more than a week. In a later winter storm, Vanderburgh, Warrick and Gibson counties were put under a travel warning by the Indiana Department of Homeland Security. For you, that means a plow or roof-clearing job here may involve more than snow: downed limbs, iced-over drives and power lines can all be in the way. Before you hire, ask whether the crew will work around fallen branches, whether they carry insurance for roof work, and how they handle lines or limbs near the house. Ask for the scope, the date and the terms in writing before work starts.

Before you hire
Put it in a written contract: the work, price, deposit, start and finish dates, warranty, permits and clean-up. Paying cash to skip it leaves you no recourse.
Ask about liability insurance and workers’ compensation cover before anyone works on your roof or property.
Get written quotes from at least three contractors for the same work, and check references from recent clients.
Questions about hiring in Evansville
Can snow removal crews deal with fallen limbs after an ice storm?
Not always. After the January 2009 ice storm, fallen trees and limbs blocked many Evansville streets. Ask whether a crew clears limbs from a driveway or only snow, and whether tree work is a separate job. Never let anyone work near limbs resting on power lines.

Is roof snow removal worth arranging in Evansville?
Weight matters here. In the 2009 ice storm, a house roof in Evansville collapsed under the weight of ice and snow. If you see sagging or heavy ice on your roof, ask a roof-clearing contractor to assess it and confirm in writing that they carry insurance.

What should a snow removal quote include?
Ask for the service area on your property, what triggers a visit such as snow depth, how ice is handled, and the payment terms. Get the contractor's insurance details and any limits on liability in writing, so you can compare quotes on the same basis.
Should I plan for travel limits when hiring a plow service?
Yes. In a later winter storm, Vanderburgh, Warrick and Gibson counties were put under a travel warning by the Indiana Department of Homeland Security. Ask how the contractor handles service during warnings and power outages, and how they will tell you when they cannot reach you. Courier & Press (via Yahoo News) (source, opens in a new tab)
