Snow clearance in Ogden

Snow removal firms and roofers.

13 pros in Ogden

Snow clearance in Ogden comes with city rules that shape how the work is done. Ogden City's snow removal page says walkways should be cleared as soon as possible and no later than 12 hours after the snow has stopped. The city also says snow from snow blowers should be aimed into front yards, away from sidewalks and the street, and that snow a plow leaves in a driveway should go onto the area between the sidewalk and curb, not into the street. Parking matters too: it is illegal to leave a vehicle in the street after a plow has gone around it. When you hire a plowing or shoveling service, ask how they will meet the 12-hour walkway timing after a storm, and where they will put the snow from your driveway. Ask who moves vehicles, trailers and boats before the plow arrives, and get the scope of work, the areas cleared and the trigger for a visit written down. For roof snow removal, ask about their insurance before work begins.

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.
