Snow removal for my rental property

Account Closed
Posted

Hello! I've owned a 3-family in the Providence, Rhode Island region since 2018. I lived there last winter and the one before. I initially tried to hire a landscaping company to plow the driveway, but the first big snowstorm, he never showed up. So I purchased a snowblower and my fiance and I handled the snow removal the last two winters. However, we've since moved out and I'm at a loss on how to find a reliable snow removal company. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to find one? Or any specific companies they'd recommend in the Rhode Island/Massachusetts area?
Thanks for your help!

@Account Closed this is a regular challenge for rental owners including myself.

One thing I can say is, make sure they are insured, and specifically for snow removal - get proof directly from the insurance company.

In the event of a slip and fall, which will happen eventually depending on how many units you have, it will matter a lot, and is worth paying more for along the way.

Conversely, if you have a good relationship with your insurance agent, you might ask them if they or anyone in their office can recommend someone for snow removal who they already insure for that activity.
