Snow clearance in Cape Cod (Barnstable)
Snow removal firms and roofers.
3 pros in Cape Cod (Barnstable)
Snow on Cape Cod rarely stays a simple driveway problem. In the 2018 bomb cyclone nor'easter, Eversource reported 21,083 customers without power in Barnstable, about 68 percent of the town, as of 11:45 p.m. on Friday, March 2. In a Feb 23 blizzard, 155,000 electric customers in Barnstable County lost power, and Cape Cod Hospital ran on generators for most of the day. For you, that means snow clearance and outages often arrive together, so ask any plowing or roof snow contractor how they handle storms that last more than a day and whether they can reach you if roads are slow. Also ask them to keep vents and exhaust pipes clear, because the State Fire Marshal advises keeping them free of snow and debris. Get the scope in writing: driveway, walkways, roof, and where snow will be piled. Ask for proof of insurance before work starts, especially for roof work.

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 Cape Cod (Barnstable)
What should a snow removal quote include?
Ask for a written quote that lists what is cleared (driveway, walkways, roof), the snow depth that triggers a visit, where snow will be piled, how storms are billed, and the dates of the agreement. Confirm who is responsible for damage to lawns, edging or fixtures, and ask for proof of insurance.
Do I need special insurance or qualifications for roof snow removal?
Roof work carries fall and property-damage risk, so ask for proof of liability and workers' compensation insurance before anyone climbs up. Ask how they protect shingles, gutters and vents, and get that in writing. Compare quotes on method and coverage, not only on the headline figure.
Why should I think about power outages when hiring a plow service on Cape Cod?
Storms here can cut power widely. In the 2018 bomb cyclone, Eversource reported 21,083 Barnstable customers without power, about 68 percent of the town. Ask how a contractor handles long storms and whether they can still reach your property when outages and road delays pile up. Patch (Barnstable-Hyannis) (source, opens in a new tab)
Should snow clearance include my home's vents?
Ask about it. The State Fire Marshal advises keeping vents and exhaust pipes clear of snow, bushes and debris that could block them, and having working carbon monoxide alarms on every floor. A contractor can include clearing around vents in the written scope, but alarms remain your responsibility. Massachusetts Department of Fire Services (source, opens in a new tab)
