Snow removal in Montreal, QC
Book local snow removal in Montreal
In Montreal sidewalk plowing is a City service, but entrances, outdoor stairs and parking spots are the resident's job, and in most boroughs the snow has to stay on your own property. The snowbank left behind by City snow removal can block a driveway or doorway, and it is up to you to clear it. With outdoor staircases and tight lots in many neighbourhoods, finding room for each storm's snow is part of the work.
