Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
Professionals in Saint Louis typically charge $45 to $160 per visit for residential snow removal. For commercial properties or comprehensive seasonal coverage, contracts can range from $300 to $1,000 annually for residential and $3,000 to $25,000+ for commercial properties. Some may also charge an hourly rate of $25 to $75.
For a 600 sq ft residential driveway with about 6 inches of snow, a one-time plow visit could be priced between $75–$120. Alternatively, a seasonal contract for consistent service might range from $400–$550. Always factor in access, any obstacles, and the specific equipment needed.
A per-inch pricing model is effective for unpredictable winter climates. Typical snow removal rates range from $3–$10 per inch, depending on factors like driveway size, equipment used, and local demand. For example, some may charge $20 for the first 3 inches on a large driveway, and $10 for every additional 3 inches.
Plowing long driveways, like those around 1000 feet, can range from $45 to $160 per visit, with costs potentially reaching $480+ for especially long, steep, or complex driveways. The specific length, gradient, and any turns or obstacles will influence the final price.
When not bundled with driveway services, clearing sidewalks is often priced at $25 to $75 per hour. This cost can vary based on the length, width, and condition of the sidewalks, as well as the amount of snow.
