Which Snow Removal Contract Is Right for You? | Only Strata’s Guide
Choosing a snow removal contract isn’t just about price — it’s about consistency, safety, and liability protection. In Metro Vancouver, the Lower Mainland, and Fraser Valley, winter conditions can change overnight. That’s why Only Strata Snow Removal offers tailored contract options designed for strata councils and multi-unit communities.
Seasonal Rate ❄️ Predictable Budgeting & Priority Service
A flat monthly rate, billed from November through March, ensures predictable budgeting and guaranteed service priority. Seasonal contracts cover all plowing, salting, and de-icing events — no matter how many storms occur.
-
Best for: Stratas that want financial stability and reliable service during unpredictable winters.
-
Why it works: Priority dispatch, unlimited service, and full liability protection.
-
Bonus: Clients who pre-pay for the full season receive exclusive discounts, rewarding communities that secure their coverage early.
“For consistency, priority response, and fixed budgeting, we strongly recommend our Seasonal Plan,” said Trevor J., Regional Manager.
Per-Service Billing ❄️ Pay-As-You-Go Flexibility
With per-service contracts, you pay only for services performed, invoiced bi-weekly. This can be cost-effective in mild winters but adds up quickly when storms are frequent.
-
Best for: Smaller communities or low-snow areas such as those in Delta snow removal.
-
Why it works: Flexible, no fixed commitment, but higher risk in heavy winters.
Retainer + Variable Rate ❄️ Balanced Approach
Some stratas prefer a hybrid: paying a retainer for guaranteed dispatch, then a per-service rate for actual visits. This model balances priority service with cost control.
-
Best for: Medium-size properties wanting both reliability and cost efficiency.
-
Why it works: Ensures service isn’t delayed during storms while keeping costs tied to actual weather.
Why We Don’t Offer On-Call or Emergency Snow Removal ❄️
Unlike part-time operators, Only Strata does not provide on-call or “last-minute” services. Here’s why:
-
❌ Delayed response increases black ice and injury risk.
-
❌ Many insurance policies don’t recognize on-call coverage for liability protection.
-
❌ Cities can fine stratas for uncleared sidewalks.
-
❌ Equipment may not be available during storms.
Instead, contract clients benefit from proactive 24/7 monitoring, automatic dispatch, and assigned crews.

🧊 Concerned about price? Low-cost providers often lack insurance, equipment, or systems. At Only Strata, pricing reflects specialization in strata properties and long-term value.
“We’re not the cheapest — and we don’t aim to be,” said Trevor J. “We aim to be the best value by keeping our clients safe, compliant, and fully protected.”
That’s why strata councils in high-demand areas like snow removal Vancouver rely on Only Strata for professional, proactive coverage tailored to their communities.
