Good paperwork is one of the most useful things a snow contractor can have when a claim arrives. Dated logs, clear contracts and up to date certificates help show what you did, what you agreed to and who was covered. These free tools are starting points you can adapt to your own operation. Have a lawyer review any contract before you use it, and talk to a licensed broker about your coverage.
Records and Documentation
- Snow log template: record each visit, conditions, work done and materials applied.
- Subcontractor COI tracker: keep track of subcontractor certificates and expiry dates.
Contracts and Coverage
- Snow removal contract template: a starting point for scope, service levels and insurance terms.
- Coverage checklist: a list of coverages to discuss with your broker.
Planning
- Snow plow insurance cost estimator: a rough idea of the factors that drive cost. Only a broker can quote your actual operation.
How to Use Them
The tools work well alongside our guides. Pair the snow log with site logs and documentation, the contract template with snow removal contracts and insurance, and the COI tracker with hiring subcontractors safely. See all guides or go back to resources.
