Snow clearance in Manchester

Snow removal firms and roofers.

26 pros in Manchester

In Manchester, the question with snow clearance is not only how fast a plow arrives but where the snow ends up. The city says it is unlawful to push any snow or ice into a street, sidewalk or other right-of-way, and it cites Title IX, Chapter 97, Section 97.03 of its ordinances. Its guidance applies that rule to residents and to their contractors alike. The city also runs an overnight odd/even on-street parking ban that starts at 1:00 AM on the morning of December 1 each year, and it can declare a Snow Emergency that requires vehicles to come off city streets. When you hire, ask any plowing or driveway crew where they will pile the snow from your lot, and how they will keep it off the street and sidewalk. Ask how they handle a Snow Emergency, and whether the work agreement says who is responsible if snow is pushed where the rules forbid it. Put the answers in writing before the first storm.

Before you hire

  1. 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.

Questions about hiring in Manchester

Can my plow contractor push snow into the street in Manchester?

No. The city says it is unlawful for residents or their contractors to push any snow or ice into a street, sidewalk or other right-of-way. Ask any crew where it will put the snow from your property, and ask that the plan be written into the agreement. City of Manchester, NH (source, opens in a new tab)

What should a snow removal quote or contract include?

Ask for the areas to be cleared, what snow depth triggers a visit, how snow will be piled, how ice will be treated, and the season or per-visit terms. Also ask about insurance and what happens if the crew damages property. Get it all in writing before winter.

Does Manchester's winter parking ban affect when my driveway gets plowed?

The overnight odd/even on-street parking ban starts at 1:00 AM on the morning of December 1 each year. If your crew works at night or you park on the street, ask how they will plan around it and where vehicles should be left. City of Manchester, NH (source, opens in a new tab)

What happens when Manchester declares a Snow Emergency?

Vehicles must be removed from city streets, and the emergency takes effect from the time the Director determines. Ask your plow contractor how they will work around it, and make sure your own vehicles are off the street. City of Manchester, NH (source, opens in a new tab)
