Stay ahead of winter with the 5 best snow removal services in Montreal

Winter in Montreal is beautiful. But let’s be honest, shovelling snow isn’t exactly anyone’s idea of a good time.

Instead of dreading the first snowfall, why not embrace the “chill” vibes and let someone else handle the heavy lifting (or shovelling, in this case)?

We’ve scoured the city to find the absolute best snow removal services in Montreal. These pros will transform your snowy driveway into a winter wonderland of clear pavement, so you can focus on enjoying the season instead of battling it.

How much does snow removal cost in Montreal?

The average cost of snow removal in Montreal is $35 per hour. However, the final cost may change depending on the amount of snowfall.

How We Chose

Service reliability – We prioritised companies known for their punctual and dependable snow removal. This is to ensure they are available when Montreal’s unpredictable weather hits hard.
Range of services – We looked for businesses offering a variety of services beyond snow ploughing, like salting, de-icing, and roof clearing. We picked those that could cover all winter maintenance needs.
Safety standards – Adherence to safety protocols was a top priority. We chose companies that use environmentally friendly de-icing products and proper equipment to minimise property damage.
Coverage area – We selected companies serving a broad range of neighbourhoods across Montreal to ensure accessibility, no matter where you are in the city.
Customer reviews – We carefully read through customer reviews on various platforms to gain insights into real-world experiences with each company.

1. Déneigement TM – Montreal Nord

Déneigement TM in Montreal Nord has really impressed us with how they manage to cater to both residential and commercial properties seamlessly. 

We’re big fans of their real-time geolocation tracking system. This not only makes their operations super efficient but also alerts clients 30 minutes before their equipment arrives. 

Whether it’s a phone call, text, or email, you’re never left wondering when they’ll show up. This is a level of transparency and convenience we don’t often see in snow removal. 

They’re also available 24/7, so whether it’s a late-night snowstorm or an early-morning freeze, you can always count on reaching them. 

For residential services, their manual removal of snow from staircases and balconies means every corner of your property is safe and accessible. And for commercial clients, their snow transport and salt spreading keep things running smoothly, no matter how harsh the winter gets. 

We do wish they offered online quotes or booking like some of the others on our list.

Pros

  • 24/7 availability
  • Real-time geolocation tracking
  • Comprehensive services
  • Clear communication

Cons

  • Limited availability due to high demand

Handles heavy snowfall with ease and precision

“I strongly recommend Déneigement TM for all your snow removal needs, they are absolutely top-notch! Their team is always on time, efficient, and extremely thorough. No matter how heavy the snowfall, they handle it quickly and leave my driveway and walkways perfectly clear. Their attention to detail is unmatched, and they even take care of the smaller areas that other companies might overlook.”

2. Groupe PL Landscaping & Snow

groupe-pl-landscaping-snow

Location: 6055 Chemin St François, Saint-Laurent, QC H4S 1K5, Canada

Contact: +1 514-915-3894

Operating hours: 

  • Monday to Friday – 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM

Website

Groupe PL Landscaping & Snow has us covered from the first snowfall to the last, with contracts running from November 1st to April 15th. 

Their team springs into action as soon as the snow hits 5 cm, making sure your driveway is cleared before 6:30 AM and again before 5:00 PM if the snow keeps coming.

We like how they keep you in the loop with pre-outing emails and 30-minute alerts before they arrive, so there’s no confusion about when to move your car. 

Plus, their GPS fleet tracking means you always know what’s going on. Their pricing is also pretty reasonable – regular driveway service usually goes for $327.78 but is currently reduced to $295.00. 

And for those annoying snowbanks left by city ploughs, their removal service at $240.00 is a lifesaver. We also like their streamlined online system, where you can pick your service, check out, and you’re all set.

Pros

  • Comprehensive coverage
  • Quick response time
  • Great communication
  • Flexible pricing options

Cons

  • A few reports of technicians not showing up

Delivers outstanding gardening and yard cleanup

“We’ve been clients for a couple of years, and Alex has always been stellar. We had a minor issue at the beginning of this last winter, and Alex had it resolved very quickly. Very responsive to messages (social media or email: lightning fast), and their snow removal service was truly exceptional once again this year. EDITED MAY 2024: I had them come in to do some gardening (cleanup of the flower beds, etc) and I am blown away by the amazing work. Mostafa is outstanding and I have literally never seen my yard look so awesome. The work is so good that I’ve signed up for bi-weekly maintenance visits to keep it looking fantastic. Thank you Alex and Mostafa!!”

3. Déneigement Grondin Lavigne

deneigement-grondin-lavigne

Location: 7735 Bd Provencher, Saint-Léonard, QC H1S 1A2, Canada

Contact: +1 514-916-0560

Operating hours: Open 24 hours

Website

Déneigement Grondin Lavigne has been a go-to for keeping properties in Rosemont, St-Léonard, and Anjou snow-free since 2019.

We love that they’re on call 24/7. Whether it’s a midnight snowstorm or a surprise morning freeze, you can count on them to show up. 

They don’t just push snow around, either. They’ll actually haul it away if you’re running out of space, which is a lifesaver in those tight urban spots. From driveways to parking lots and even tricky front-of-tempo areas, they’ve got your back. 

And let’s not forget their real-time notifications! We love that clients know exactly when to expect the team since they send alerts via text, email, or even a call. Everything from contracts to payments is handled online, so it’s all hassle-free. 

Pros

  • 24/7 availability
  • Snow transport service
  • Comprehensive services
  • Real-time notifications
  • Easy online management

Cons

  • A few reports of poor professionalism

Demonstrates professionalism by exceeding expectations

“It is true that winters follow one another but are not alike. However, being able to count on a snow removal team that is reliable, professional and competent allows you to see winter coming with peace of mind and that is huge. Thanks to the entire DGL team… on April 4, 2024 they came twice following 31 cm of snow… the contract ended on April 1. Real pros!”

4. Groupe ServicePlus

groupe-serviceplus

Contact: +1 514-266-7605

Operating hours: 

  • Monday to Friday – 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM

Website

Groupe ServicePlus knows how to handle winter like a pro. We’re impressed by their blend of mechanical snow removal for the big areas and careful manual shovelling for those tight spots like stairs and walkways. 

What really stands out is their live updates. You get a text, email, or call before they show up, giving you plenty of time to move your car and avoid those frustrating parking tickets.

While they don’t have a full-blown website, they’ve got a handy Linktree where you can check out their social media and even request a quote right away. It’s a bit unconventional, but it works. 

All in all, they’re efficient and reliable, and they’ve thought about the little things that make snow removal way less stressful.

Pros

  • Comprehensive snow removal
  • No snow patches left behind
  • Convenient quote system
  • Live updates

Cons

  • No dedicated website

Resolves concerns promptly and professionally

“This is THE best snow removal company! I was super satisfied! Zayd is super responsive, respectful, and professional. If I had any concerns he would resolve them right away. Amazing quality. I’ve had terrible experiences in the past with snow removal companies in terms of quality of work, but Groupe Service Plus takes their time and does a great job every time!”

Transforms overgrown properties into beautifully maintained spaces

“Groupe Service Plus did a phenomenal job on our property in Ile-Bizard. Our front and backyard had gotten totally out of control over the last years. Zayd and his crew transformed it in just a couple of days. They were very professional, easy to deal with, fast and reasonably priced. I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to have any work done to their property, for lawn mowing and maintenance. Sonia Lévesque.”
