Snow clearance in Tri-Cities (Kennewick)

Snow removal firms and roofers.

2 pros in Tri-Cities (Kennewick)

Snow in the Tri-Cities is uneven from one winter to the next. Kennewick's Snow & Ice Control page describes winters with no snow accumulation at all and others with over fifty inches of measurable snow, across more than 670 lane miles of streets. That swing shapes how you hire. In a mild year you may need no one, and in a heavy one a plow or shovel crew may be booked quickly, so it helps to arrange service before the first storm. Kennewick also puts the sidewalk along a property on the owner, and asks that snow go into the yard, not the street, and that driveway snow not be thrown into the street. Before you hire, ask how the crew will handle your driveway snow and whether they will clear the sidewalk. Ask what triggers a visit, how they treat roof snow if you need it, and get the terms in writing. Confirm who is responsible if something is damaged.

Before you hire

Questions about hiring in Tri-Cities (Kennewick)

Who is responsible for clearing the sidewalk in front of my Kennewick home?

Where can the snow from my driveway go?

What should a snow clearing quote or contract include?

Ask for the areas covered, such as driveway, walkway and sidewalk, and what snow depth triggers a visit. Get the timing, how roof snow is handled if included, who pays for damage, and how you are billed, all in writing before the season starts.

How do I compare snow removal quotes?

Compare like with like: the same areas, the same trigger depth, and the same response expectations. Ask each company about insurance and whether they work by the storm or by the season. A lower quote may cover less, so read what is left out.
