When winter hits hard in Fargo, a reliable snow removal service can make the difference between a smooth morning and a frustrating, slippery mess out the door. But with so many options available, how do you choose the right snow removal service for your home?

Here’s what you need to know about the types of snow removal services, what to expect, and how Funk’s makes winter easy.

1. Understand the types of snow removal services you’re signing up for in the winter season.

Not all snow removal services operate the same way in Fargo, ND. The right option for your property depends on what you’re capable of taking care of on your property.

Here are a few common service types:

• Per-Push Services: You pay each time it snows. While this gives flexibility, it can become expensive during a heavy snow season, and you’ll likely need to call for each visit.
• Seasonal Contracts: You pay a flat fee for the entire winter. These plans typically include automatic visits after a certain amount of snow falls, making them ideal for homeowners who want consistency.
• Full-Service Snow Management: Includes snow plowing or snow blowing for driveways, as well as shoveling sidewalks and applying de-icer. This is typically used by commercial properties or large residential lots.
• Sidewalk-Only Services: For those who only want city sidewalks cleared. An option that some providers offer on request.

2. Know What’s Included in Your Snow Removal Service for Your Home.

Before signing up, always ask, “What’s included in my snow service that I’m signing up for?”

Every company is different, but here are a few items to look for:

• Driveway clearing? (Are they using a plow or a snowblower on your driveway)
• City sidewalk clearing service? (Optional)
• Snowdrift cleanup? (on request)
• Plow end cleanup after the city barriers at the end of the driveway? (Included in the Service)
• Ice removal or salting? (extra when requested)
• When will I be serviced? (1″ or 2″ after it’s done snowing)
• Emergency or mid-storm visits? (on-call basis)
• Snow shoveling service (Are they shoveling my entranceway and in front of my garage doors?)

Knowing what’s covered helps you avoid surprises and ensures your expectations match what the provider offers.

3. Questions to Ask a Snow Removal Service Company in Fargo, ND

Before choosing a provider, be sure to ask:

• What parts of the city does your company offer service during the winter months?
• When do you come out to provide the snow service?
• Do you offer seasonal contracts or pay-per-visit options?
• Is city sidewalk clearing included in your seasonal price or per-visit price?
• How do you handle large snow events or multi-day snowstorms?
• What equipment do you use to clean residential properties?
• Do I need to stake my driveway or sidewalk?
• If I sell my property and move to a different property, can I have your company service my new property in town?
• Is your company insured and licensed?
• What happens if there is damage to my property during a snow service?
• Will I be updated on snow events, or should I call you every snowstorm?
