Snow clearance in Oshawa
Snow removal firms and roofers.
12 pros in Oshawa
In Oshawa, snow clearance is partly a matter of local law. Under the Winter Access by-law 92-2009, the owner of a lot must clear snow and ice, including windrows, from the sidewalk in front of, alongside or at the rear of the lot by midnight of the first day after the snow or freezing precipitation has ended. The City itself maintains 500+ km of primary roads, 765 km of residential roads and 160 km of sidewalks in winter, so the work you hire for is mostly your own driveway and the sidewalk beside your lot. When you hire, ask whether the service covers the sidewalk as well as the driveway, and whether it includes the windrow the City plow leaves at the end of your drive. Ask how soon after a storm ends they will arrive, because the by-law deadline is the midnight after the snow stops. Get the visit terms, the trigger depth for plowing and any roof snow work in writing before the first storm.

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 Oshawa
Who has to clear the sidewalk in front of my Oshawa home?
Under Oshawa's Winter Access by-law 92-2009, the owner of the lot must clear snow and ice, including windrows, from the sidewalk in front of, alongside or at the rear of the lot. If you hire a contractor, check that the agreement covers the sidewalk and not only the driveway. City of Oshawa (source, opens in a new tab)
By when does the sidewalk need to be cleared after a storm?
The by-law sets the deadline at midnight of the first day after the snow or freezing precipitation has ended. When you compare snow removal providers, ask how soon after a storm they normally arrive and whether that timing reliably meets the deadline. City of Oshawa (source, opens in a new tab)
Is there help with snow clearing in Oshawa if I cannot do it myself?
Oshawa's Snow Clearing Assistance Program is for residents 65 or older and people with disabilities who have no household members under 65 without disabilities. It clears City sidewalks and driveway windrows, but windrows only if they are at least 20 cm (8 in) high. City of Oshawa (source, opens in a new tab)
What should a snow removal quote or contract include?
Ask for the work in writing: which areas are cleared (driveway, walkway, sidewalk, roof), the snowfall depth that triggers a visit, how quickly they arrive, how the season or each visit is billed, and who is responsible for damage to lawns or fixtures. Compare quotes on those same points.
