Snow removal by local taskers
A heavy overnight snowfall can leave a driveway, the city sidewalk out front and the back steps all needing attention before work. Post the job on Taskeeu and taskers nearby can bid to clear it, by shovel or with their own snowblower.
Tell taskers the size of the driveway, whether the windrow left by the city plough needs breaking up, and if you want salt or sand spread afterwards. Clear details lead to accurate bids.
Typical jobs
- Shovel a single or double driveway
- Clear the windrow left by the city plough
- Clear front steps, walkway and porch
- Shovel the public sidewalk in front of the house
- Clear snow off a deck or balcony
- Dig out a car parked on the street
- Spread salt or sand on icy paths
- Clear a path to the garage or bins
- Rake snow off a low roof edge from the ground
Tips
- Give the driveway length and width, and say whether it is shared.
- Say whether the tasker should bring a snowblower or shovel by hand.
- State the deadline, for example cleared before 7:30 a.m.
- Mention who supplies salt or ice melt.
Agree before the day whether the price covers one clearing or a follow-up if snow keeps falling, who supplies salt, and where snow can be piled without blocking a neighbour or a fire hydrant. Many cities expect homeowners to clear sidewalks within a set time after a storm, so share the deadline you need.

Frequently asked questions
Can I post a snow removal task the night before?
Yes. Post it when the forecast calls for snow and say what time you need the driveway clear. Taskers nearby can bid in advance.
Do taskers bring their own snowblower?
Some do and some shovel by hand. Say what you expect in the post, and confirm it in chat before accepting a bid.
Can a tasker clear my roof?
Roof work carries real risk. Keep tasks to ground level, such as raking a low roof edge from the ground, unless you hire a qualified professional.
What if it snows again after the job?
Agree upfront whether the price covers one pass only. A second storm is usually a new task.
Who supplies salt?
Either side can. If the tasker buys it, they can request an advance for materials, which you approve.
