I am excited to say I’ll be doing snow removal this year! I have a shovel. I will also lay salt if needed. I have the months of December, January, and February completely free, so snow removal will be my main priority. I have 1 year of experience doing snow removal with a landscaping company. Also willing to do Christmas lights and other miscellaneous winter jobs!

Frequently asked questions about Snow Removal in Des Moines

Snow shoveling prices in Des Moines start at $35 an hour, but prices vary from Tasker to Tasker. The time it takes a Tasker to remove snow depends on the amount of snowfall. A light dusting below three inches can be cleared in under an hour. A moderate snowfall under eight inches can take up to two hours. Heavy snowfalls, with eight inches or more, can take several hours or longer.

A great place to start when budgeting for snow removal is to review last year's expenses. Alternatively, you can consider the size of your property and typical amount of snowfall in your area. Knowing this information, compare Tasker rates in {location_name) to determine estimated costs.

Considering the time saved and safety benefits, hiring snow removal help in Des Moines can be well worth it. Some Taskers even come equipped with a snow plow for a quick and seamless job. That said, some cities do have laws and ordinances around keeping sidewalks clear of snow that require that it be shoveled or removed. Not doing so can sometimes result in fines.

The cheapest way to remove snow is with a snow shovel. The most effective way to remove snow with a shovel is to start early, and shovel often throughout the snow storm. Don't forget to take breaks and spread salt sparingly to prevent overuse.
