Boston averages more than 48 inches of snow each winter. For homeowners and residential contractors, that means foundations, framing schedules, and finish work can grind to a halt if flakes aren’t cleared quickly. Ignoring snow removal Boston MA realities can cost far more than a plow contract—lost labor hours, damaged materials, and safety violations add up fast.
When CountBricks analysts review projects, snow management is never an after-thought.

The result is a line-item estimate that shows exactly how many crew hours, tons of de-icing mix, and machine cycles you’ll need—right alongside your concrete, lumber, and finish packages.
• Overnight ice buildup that requires emergency dispatch fees
• Re-shoveling rebar and formwork before each concrete pour
• Roof release to prevent ice dams during mid-build inspections
• Insurance premiums triggered by slip-and-fall incidents
