Calgary snow and ice, 2026/27 season

The snow stops. The City gives you twenty-four hours.

Your driveway, front walk, steps and the public sidewalk out front — cleared on every plan, with a photo when it’s done. The plans differ in how fast we get there.

Hours after the snow stops

  • 8hPremium
  • 12hComplete
  • 18hEssential
  • 24hCity deadline, fines from $250

Miss the City’s window and the fine starts at $250, climbs to $750, and the City bills you for clearing the walk on top of it. Complete and Premium carry a bylaw guarantee: if we are late and you are ticketed, we pay it.

The city sidewalk is on every plan. Even the cheapest one.

Calgary requires you to clear the public sidewalk bordering your home to bare pavement within 24 hours of a snowfall ending. It is the piece with the fine attached, and it is the piece most contractors quietly leave out of the base price.

You will never find out in January that the expensive part wasn’t included.

Also on every plan, never an upsell

Gas meter clearance
A buried meter or regulator is a real hazard, so it is never an add-on.
Furnace and dryer vent clearing
A blocked high-efficiency intake can back carbon monoxide into the house.
Window well check
Checked on every visit.
Coverage while you are away
Service continues and photos arrive. Nothing to arrange before you go.

Three plans, one property list

Every plan clears the same property and every plan comes out after the same 2 cm of snow. Most Calgary snowfalls are small ones, and a plan that waits for 5 cm sits out the majority of them while the City’s clock runs on you regardless — so we do not sell one. What you choose is how long you wait afterwards, and how much margin that leaves against the 24-hour deadline.

Swipe the table to compare all three.

We price the property you have

A corner lot is not a mid-block lot. A detached garage off the alley is not a front driveway. We measure the property from satellite, confirm it on site, and build the quote from what is actually there. Every figure below is monthly.
