Snow removal costs for rental property in Somerville, MA

Snow removal costs for rental property in Somerville, MA

Hi, I'm looking for a snow removal company to help me out with a house in Somerville as I've recently moved to NH and don't trust the tenants to do a good job.  It's a pretty close-knit street with elderly folks who walk around the neighborhood a lot so don't want to be "that house".  

I've gotten one quote for far for $100 for anything 1"-6" and every inch after that costing an extra $20/inch.  Salt would be extra.  

Does that sound reasonable?  Anyone know anybody less expensive?  It's just 3 steps, 8 ft or so of walkway, and about 40 ft of sidewalk for reference.

    That seems very high. I used to do snow removal in MA and would probably charge you $30-40 to do that job each time. Am I seeing this right that there is no plowing, just the walkways and 3 steps?

    Hi @Robert P., 

    Correct no plowing just the walkways, three steps, and sidewalk.  Thanks for confirming my suspicion.  I found another company that does snow removal for $45/hour with salting included...I feel like that is more reasonable assuming there will be multiple 2-3 inch snowfalls that will take all of 10 mins or so to clear up and wouldn't want to be spending $100 each time.
