Common Questions From Other Customers
For the fastest assistance, we recommend visiting our Common Questions section first. If you need urgent help, please submit the support form and our team will respond as quickly as possible. To ensure we can assist everyone efficiently during active snowfall, we ask that you avoid phone calls for urgent requests, as call volumes are significantly higher on snow days.
Service begins once snowfall has concluded for the day. Most homes are cleared within 6 hours, though please allow up to 12 hours based on routing and total accumulations. Snowfalls above 6 inches may experience a delay due to our hand-shoveling crew. You'll receive a real-time email notification when your shoveler arrives. As a student-powered operation, timing may be influenced by university schedules, weekdays versus weekends, and holidays.
Service begins once snowfall has concluded for the day, and homes are routed based on proximity to campus, safety considerations, and the priority level selected. Most properties are cleared within 6 hours, though please allow up to 12 hours during larger events as all work is completed by hand. Because our team is made up of college students, timing may also be influenced by class schedules, weekends, and holidays. If your property has not yet been completed, it remains on the active route and is assigned to a shoveler. You will always receive an email notification if the snow accumulation meets your current service plan.
Yes. You may cancel at any time. If the request is received before a shoveler has been assigned and routed, a $40 cancellation fee applies. Once a crew has been scheduled and is on the way, the full service charge will apply.
If snowfall service is scheduled in your area, the dispatch status will appear here. This tool lets you quickly confirm whether crews are operating today in case you did not receive the dispatch email. Dispatch decisions are based on snowfall measurements collected from multiple points throughout the city. If we are not servicing your area, your city will not appear in the dropdown. For one-time service requests, please email our team.
During extended or back-to-back storms, or when drifting requires multiple visits, more than one service charge may occur. Every job is supported by manually reviewed before-and-after photos, though during periods of heavy snowfall our team may prioritize field operations before completing billing. An itemized email receipt is provided for each service to ensure accurate and transparent records.
Please email us at info@snowscholars.com if you would like to confirm the areas included in your service plan. Standard areas we clear are front and alley driveways, city sidewalks, front walkways, front stairs, and front patios. To maintain consistency and efficiency across all homes, side paths and rear property areas are not included.
