Snow removal firms and roofers.
Snow clearance in Fort Wayne is shaped by a pattern of steady, moderate winters rather than one big storm. The city averages 33.6 inches of snow a year, and a snowfall of six inches or more usually happens only once per season, with January the most likely month. Snow depth on the ground rarely passes 10 inches, and the last snow typically comes in mid-April. There is also a local rule to plan around: ordinance 99.047 requires snow and ice to be cleared from property sidewalks by 9 a.m., and a fine can apply under a three-strike system. When you hire, ask whether the service clears sidewalks as well as the driveway, and whether it will be done before 9 a.m. after an overnight fall. Ask how the contractor handles a single heavy event versus many light ones, whether the quote covers the whole season or each visit, and whether roof snow work is included. Get the terms in writing.

The city averages 33.6 inches a year, but ground depth rarely exceeds 10 inches, and a six-inch snowfall usually happens only once a season. Ask whether a seasonal agreement or per-visit pricing suits that pattern, and what snow depth triggers a plow visit. National Weather Service, Northern Indiana (source, opens in a new tab)
Ask for the areas covered (driveway, walkways, sidewalk), the snow depth that triggers a visit, how fast the crew responds, and whether salt or de-icing is included. Also ask about insurance and how damage to lawns or edges is handled. Get everything written down before work begins.
The first snow of autumn typically falls around the first of November, and the last of the season in mid-April. A contract should state its start and end dates clearly, so you know whether it covers the early and late snowfalls at both ends of winter.
