40 Best Snow Removal Contract Templates

1. Clarity of Scope
Clearly define what snow removal services are included (driving surfaces, sidewalks, de-icing, and seasonal guarantees) and specify inclusion/exclusion criteria. Include response times after snowfall thresholds and any equipment standards to prevent scope creep and disputes.

2. Payment Terms and Schedule
Establish explicit pricing, billing cadence, and payment milestones tied to snowfall events or monthly seasons. Include late payment penalties, invoicing details, and procedures for additional charges when weather conditions exceed the norm.

3. Liability and Insurance
Detail liability responsibilities, damage repair procedures, and exclusions. Require the contractor to carry appropriate insurance (general liability, workers’ compensation) and provide certificates of insurance to the client.
