Yes! We understand that snowstorms don't follow a 9-to-5 schedule. Snow Removal Calgary X offers 24/7 emergency snow removal services, every day of the week. Whether it's early morning snow that needs clearing before your business opens, or late-night accumulation requiring urgent attention, we're ready to respond. Simply call our emergency line and we'll dispatch a team to your Calgary property.

Our residential snow removal service includes complete driveway snow plowing and clearing, sidewalk and walkway clearing, ice removal and de-icing services, front and back yard path clearing (if needed), snow hauling if required, and snow banking in designated areas so you can access your garage and vehicles safely. We ensure all services are completed before your day begins.

For emergency requests, we typically respond within 2-4 hours depending on current weather conditions and service volume. Seasonal contract customers receive priority scheduling, with service usually completed within 2-4 hours of a snowfall reaching our trigger threshold (typically 5cm/2 inches). For scheduled visits and non-urgent requests, we can usually serve you the same day or next business day. During major storms, response times may vary.

Yes, we're committed to using environmentally responsible de-icing products. While we use rock salt when necessary for effective ice melting, we also offer eco-friendly alternatives including calcium magnesium acetate (CMA), potassium acetate, and sand/grit mixtures that are safer for pets, plants, and groundwater. We're happy to discuss eco-friendly options and customize our approach for environmentally conscious Calgary properties.

Residential services focus on driveways, walkways, and home access, typically scheduled for early morning completion. Commercial snow removal involves larger parking lots, loading docks, emergency access lanes, and businesses requiring 24/7 priority access. Commercial contracts often include liability coverage, priority scheduling during business hours, and more frequent service throughout winter. We offer customized solutions for both residential and business clients in Calgary.

Seasonal contracts provide unlimited snow removal services for a fixed price for the entire winter season (typically November-April in Calgary). You'll receive automatic service whenever snow accumulation reaches the trigger threshold (usually 5cm), with no per-visit fees or surprise costs. Seasonal contracts include priority scheduling and are more cost-effective than per-visit pricing if you expect 8+ snowfalls per season. It's a budget-friendly solution that ensures your property is always clear without calling each time.
