Yes. We carry $5M commercial general liability insurance covering all snow and ice management operations. Documentation of all service visits — including timestamped photos — is provided to every contracted client for liability protection. We provide certificates of insurance before the winter season begins.

For most commercial properties in Essex County, a seasonal contract provides budget certainty and priority service. Per-event works better for properties with lower risk tolerance or irregular needs.

Most commercial snow removal contracts in Ontario use a 2.5 cm (1 inch) trigger depth, meaning plowing begins once accumulation reaches that level. Some high-traffic properties like hospitals, retail plazas, and logistics centers use a zero-tolerance policy where plowing and salting begin at the first sign of accumulation. Your trigger depth should be based on your liability exposure and the volume of foot and vehicle traffic your property handles. Municipal bylaws in Windsor and Essex County also require sidewalks to be cleared within a set timeframe after snowfall ends.

In Ontario, property owners and occupiers have a legal duty under the Occupiers' Liability Act to keep their premises reasonably safe, which includes managing snow and ice. If someone is injured due to icy conditions on your commercial property, you could be held liable if it's determined that maintenance was inadequate. Having a professional snow management contract with documented service logs — including timestamps of plowing, salting, and inspections — is one of the most effective ways to demonstrate due diligence and defend against claims.
