🌨️ 1. When does snow removal season start in Toronto?

Snow removal season in Toronto typically begins in mid-November and lasts until late March or early April, depending on the weather. Most companies, including Precision Pavers, start monitoring and servicing as soon as temperatures drop below freezing and snow accumulation begins.

🚛 2. How much does snow removal cost in Toronto?

The cost varies based on property size, frequency, and service type.
Here’s a general breakdown:

  • Residential driveways: $60–$120 per visit

  • Seasonal residential contracts: $600–$1,200

  • Commercial lots or plazas: $300–$2,000+ per month

At Precision Pavers, we offer custom quotes based on your location and property layout.

🧊 3. What’s included in a snow removal contract?

A full-service snow removal contract typically includes:

  • Snow plowing & clearing of driveways, parking lots, and walkways

  • Salting & de-icing for safety

  • Shoveling and handwork for tight spaces

  • 24/7 storm monitoring & priority dispatch

  • Optional snow hauling (moving snow off-site)

🏠 4. Do you offer residential snow removal?

Yes! Precision Pavers provides reliable residential snow removal for homes and driveways across Toronto — including Midtown, Leaside, York Mills, Bayview, Yorkville, and The Annex.

Our team uses compact plows and hand shoveling crews to ensure a clean, damage-free service.

🏢 5. Do you provide commercial snow removal?

Absolutely. We specialize in commercial snow removal for:

  • Office buildings

  • Plazas & shopping centers

  • Condos & apartments

  • Industrial sites

We offer monthly or seasonal contracts with 24/7 response and GPS-tracked dispatching to guarantee reliability.

⏰ 6. How quickly do you respond after a snowfall?

We monitor live weather data and are typically dispatched within 1–2 hours after snow begins to fall. Priority clients receive pre-scheduled clearing during overnight or early morning hours to keep properties clear for business hours.

🧤 7. Do you use salt or eco-friendly ice melt?

We use both — standard rock salt for heavy snowfalls and eco-friendly, pet-safe ice melt for sensitive areas such as walkways, entrances, and landscaping.

We can also tailor your de-icing plan depending on your property type and safety requirements.

🧾 8. How do seasonal snow removal contracts work?

With a seasonal contract, you pay a flat rate covering the entire winter — regardless of how many snow events occur. It ensures:

  • Guaranteed service all season

  • No per-visit billing surprises

  • Priority service during heavy storms

This is the most popular choice for both residential and commercial clients.

🧱 9. Do you damage driveways or interlock during snow removal?

Not with our team. We use rubber-blade plows and adjustable skid shoes that protect your interlock or concrete surfaces. Our operators are trained to prevent scraping or gouging during clearing.

🚨 10. What happens during extreme snowfalls or blizzards?

During major snow events, we deploy full crews in rotating shifts to ensure ongoing service. We also offer snow relocation or hauling when snow piles become too large for your property.

🧯 11. Are you insured and WSIB certified?

Yes — Precision Pavers is fully insured and WSIB-certified for both commercial and residential work in Ontario. This protects our clients, staff, and properties during all operations.

🕓 12. Can I book emergency snow removal?

Yes! We offer on-demand emergency snow removal for driveways, walkways, and parking lots. If you’re stuck or need immediate access, we can dispatch a crew within hours (weather permitting).

📍 13. What areas of Toronto do you service?

We proudly serve:

  • Midtown Toronto

  • Downtown Toronto

  • Yorkville

  • Leaside

  • Bridle Path

  • Bayview

  • York Mills

  • Lawrence Heights

  • The Annex

We’re expanding every winter to better serve more Toronto neighborhoods.

🧩 14. Do you clear sidewalks and entrances too?

Yes — all our snow removal packages include sidewalk, step, and entrance clearing for full accessibility. These areas are treated with salt or ice melt after shoveling to prevent refreezing.

💬 15. Can I get text or email updates after service?

Of course. We provide real-time service updates via text or email so you always know when your property has been cleared. Our system logs every visit for transparency.

💸 16. How can I save money on snow removal?

You can save by:

  • Sharing a neighbourhood or commercial lot contract

Precision Pavers offers bundled discounts for repeat or multi-property clients.
