Snow Removal Business Kit

The Snow Removal Business Kit is for lawn care, landscaping and other home-service owners who want winter work, and for new snow plow operators. Snow work is a promise to show up in the worst weather. This kit helps you price that promise, put it in writing and keep the records that protect you.

The 37-page guide covers whether snow fits your business, choosing a shovel, snowblower or truck-plow route, insurance questions to ask your agent, OSHA's snow-work hazards, pricing a push from your own costs (with a worked two-car driveway example), turning it into a seasonal price with a cap, pricing salt per application, the 10 clauses every snow contract needs, filling your route before the first storm, storm-day operations and records, and a 30-day pre-season plan.

The Pricing Calculator turns your labor, mileage, equipment and insurance costs into a cost floor and a price per push, a seasonal price with a suggested cap, a salt price per application and your route break-even. Its Storm Log counts pushes against each client's cap. The Contracts & Forms include residential seasonal, per-push and commercial per-event sample contracts, a property map, site walkthrough, estimate, invoice, storm service log, salt log, damage and incident report, storm-ready checklist and route list.

Every figure is sourced with a date or marked as an example. Contract, insurance and salt rules vary by state, province and city, so the contracts are samples to have reviewed and the guide links official sources. No kit can promise clients or snowfalls.
