So what do you pay? I have reached out to a half dozen other snow clearing contractors to ask what they are doing about this storm and pricing. We had 24 inches. Last week we had 6". It is a lot of apples and oranges since most of these guys are plow operators and I have snowblowers and shovels. Majority of them were going to charge for three passes, or three times the average storm. I am leaning towards twice my average price as it is pretty much in line with an hourly rate that I would go with if they were not already priced per "average" storm.... Think this is fair? Too steep? Leaving too much on the table? Only one of my clients would have been able to physically get their cars out of this on their own, never mind get the snow moved. Average storm I charge from 35 to 50 bucks, add on if salt needed. Look forward to your input.
