This is winter-season work, and in Thunder Bay that means planning around cold, snow and the realities of a hard freeze. Being this far north, Thunder Bay sees a compressed window for exterior work between spring thaw and first snow, so scheduling around the weather is part of planning any job.

One thing we factor in for Thunder Bay jobs: Ice damming and snow load are recurring seasonal issues on older roofs.

Thunder Bay's weather is as tough on houses as anywhere in Ontario. Long, cold winters and heavy snow put roofing, attic insulation, heating and ice management at the top of most homeowners' lists, and the city's older housing — much of it from the mid-1900s in the Port Arthur and Fort William areas — feels it first. Newer builds toward the outskirts bring the usual basement, kitchen and deck projects.

What you'll pay for snow removal & ice management in Thunder Bay depends on a few real things:

• Driveway size and layout — double-wide and long drives take longer
• Trigger depth — how much snow falls before we come
• Walkways, steps and side doors in the scope
• Access and travel around Thunder Bay, plus the cold-weather window, factor into timing and therefore cost.
• Salting included or on request
• Seasonal contract versus per-visit pricing
• Distance and route density in your area
