"I work a 6am shift at Grand River Hospital and before D&D Snow, I was out shovelling my driveway at 5am in the dark every storm. Now I just walk to my car. They're always done before I get up. Never missed a single event in two full seasons."
"We manage four commercial properties across Waterloo Region and D&D handles all of them now. The parking lots are always clear before 8am. Zero liability incidents this past season. We're locked in for next year already."
"Our condo board signed a contract with D&D in September and it was the best decision we made all year. They handle 40+ units, multiple lanes, and a visitor lot. Not a single resident complaint all winter. We've already renewed for next season."
"The heated wire installation was perfect — not a single ice dam formed all winter. Our neighbours had icicles hanging three feet off their eaves for months. Total game changer. Devon explained the whole process before starting and the install was clean and professional."
"I've used multiple snow contractors over the years. D&D is by far the most consistent. They never missed a single visit during the 2024-25 season. Every storm, no matter how bad — they were there. When I renewed my contract I recommended them to my whole street."
"We run a small retail plaza on the east side of Kitchener. Ice on the lot had been a real concern after a slip-and-fall incident the previous year. D&D came in, assessed the whole property, and gave us a commercial contract that covered everything. Our lot has been spotless all winter."
"My parents are in their 70s and live in Guelph. I set them up with D&D's residential contract so I don't have to worry about them shovelling. Best money I've ever spent. They call me every storm to tell me it was already done when they woke up."
"We had major ice dam problems the previous two winters — water was leaking into our upstairs ceiling. D&D installed roof heat cables in October and we had zero ice issues all season. The installation was clean, fast, and Devon was thorough in explaining the system."
"Called D&D during a major storm in January when my regular contractor didn't show. They came out within 2 hours. Did a better job in 20 minutes than my old contractor had all season. I signed a contract with them for next year on the spot."
"We operate a manufacturing facility in Cambridge and need our loading dock clear by 6am every snow event — no exceptions. D&D has delivered on that every single time. The few times we've had unusual accumulation they called ahead to let us know. Exceptional communication."
"David was incredibly helpful when we signed our contract. He came out to the house, walked the driveway, noted the steps and side path, and made sure the contract covered everything. Then they just handled it all winter. No calls, no chasing — just a clear driveway every morning."
"Got both the heated wire installation and the seasonal snow contract through D&D. The combination is perfect — my roof never develops ice dams and my driveway is always clear. One company, one call, everything handled. Couldn't ask for more."
Your review helps other Waterloo Region homeowners find reliable winter service.
"Our retail plaza in Waterloo has 280 parking spots and the main entrance on a busy intersection. D&D Snow had the lot cleared and salted before our 8am opening on every single storm event this past season. Not once did we have to delay opening. They even proactively communicated the night before each significant storm. This is exactly what a professional seasonal contract looks like."
"We had ice dam issues destroying our soffit and fascia every winter. Devon assessed the roof, explained exactly where the heat cables needed to be routed for maximum effectiveness, and had them installed before the first snowfall. This past winter — zero ice dams, zero damage. The installation looks clean and the controller works exactly as explained. Genuinely the best money we've spent on the house in years."
"I'm 72 and shovelling is simply not something I can do anymore. D&D Snow has given me complete peace of mind this winter. My driveway and front walk are always cleared before I even wake up. The team is respectful, the pricing is fair for the whole season, and they never miss a visit. My family insisted I get a proper service after my neighbour slipped last year — D&D was the right choice. I've already renewed for next season."
"As the property manager for a 64-unit condo corporation in Waterloo, I've worked with three different snow contractors over five years. D&D Snow is categorically different — organized, documented, and responsive. They provide a storm log after every visit so our liability file is always up to date. We've had zero slip-and-fall incidents this season and our insurer is happy. Renewing without question."
"Our metal roof was sending avalanche-style snow dumps onto our front walkway — a real danger for anyone walking to our door. D&D installed ColorGard snow retention guards across the full eave run. The installation was tidy, matched our roof colour perfectly, and completely eliminated the roof dump problem this past winter. Devon explained the installation process clearly and the job was done in a single morning. Highly recommend for anyone with a metal or low-slope roof."
"We operate a manufacturing facility in Cambridge with 24/7 operations. Snow management is critical — a blocked loading dock or icy forklift lane is a safety incident waiting to happen. D&D Snow's commercial contract included priority response with a defined 2-hour SLA after each storm. They never missed it. The crew understood the operational priority areas and worked around our production schedule without disruption. Best commercial snow contract we've had."
"We had heated cables installed in our interlock driveway and front walkway. The install required working around the existing paver patterns which I assumed would be complicated — but D&D's team was meticulous. Every paver was relaid perfectly after the cable installation. The system has been running all season without a single issue and we haven't shovelled once. Worth every dollar for the convenience and the safety of our kids."
"First time using a professional snow service and I wasn't sure what to expect. D&D Snow made the signup process completely painless — clear seasonal contract, transparent pricing, and confirmation of service schedule before the season started. The first big storm we got, my driveway was done before 6am. I recommended them to four neighbours that same week. Service quality is exceptional and the team is professional. Won't go back to doing it myself."

Have Questions?
Everything you need to know before getting started — straight answers from our team.
Our seasonal contracts specify a trigger depth — typically 2.5 cm accumulation for residential and 1–2 cm for commercial properties. We begin service as soon as trigger depth is reached, often starting routes before dawn so driveways and lots are clear before the morning commute.
We offer both. Most clients prefer our seasonal flat-rate contract for total peace of mind — one payment covers unlimited snowfalls for the season. Per-visit pricing is also available for clients who want flexibility, though availability is not guaranteed during heavy storms.
D&D Snow Services covers Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph, Elmira, New Hamburg, Ayr, Baden, and Breslau. We maintain tight route density to ensure reliable service times throughout our coverage area.
Yes — every visit to a commercial or condo property is documented with an arrival time, departure time, and service performed. Storm logs are provided after each event to support your slip-and-fall liability file.
Our crew begins work before most storms reach trigger depth. For commercial clients, we prioritize parking lots and walkways first. During back-to-back storm events, our route schedule ensures all locations are serviced within agreed time windows.
Yes — heated cable installation for roof ice dam prevention and snow retention guards for metal and low-slope roofs are both offered by D&D Snow Services. Many clients combine a seasonal snow contract with a heated wire installation for comprehensive winter protection.
Yes — salting and ice control is available as a standalone add-on or bundled with your plowing service. We use road salt or calcium chloride depending on the surface and temperature conditions to maximize effectiveness and minimize concrete damage.
We accept mid-season signups when capacity is available. However, seasonal contract holders are always our priority. We recommend signing up before the first snowfall — typically by mid-October — to secure your spot on our route.

How We Score
Detailed Client Testimonials
Real homeowners and property managers share their full experience with D&D Snow Services.
"This was my third winter with D&D Snow Services and I cannot imagine going back to managing snow myself. I'm 68 years old with a double-wide driveway and a long front walk, and last winter — which was one of the snowiest in recent memory — I never once picked up a shovel. They show up before I'm awake on storm days. They salt the walk when conditions warrant it. They come back after the city plow banks the end of the driveway. They handle every aspect of winter without me having to think about it once. I referred D&D to my sister in Waterloo and my next-door neighbour, both of whom signed up this season. The service is truly exceptional and the seasonal flat rate is completely fair for the peace of mind it provides."
"Managing commercial properties means slip-and-fall liability is a constant concern throughout the winter season. I've worked with snow contractors who do the work but provide nothing in writing — leaving you completely exposed if a tenant or customer ever makes a claim. D&D Snow Services operates differently. Every storm service is documented with arrival time, departure time, service performed, and temperature/condition notes. I receive the storm log within 24 hours of each service. My insurance broker has reviewed our documentation and specifically commented that our liability file is now properly maintained. We had one slip-and-fall claim filed this season — the documented service log was instrumental in having it dismissed. Beyond the documentation, the actual service quality is excellent. Our parking lot and walkways are always cleared before tenants arrive. The salt application is appropriate to conditions — they don't over-apply. Renewing all three properties for next season without question."
"Our 36-unit condo corporation had gone through two snow contractors in three seasons — both decent at the actual clearing but unreliable in showing up after overnight storms and completely absent for proper ice management. We switched to D&D Snow Services two seasons ago and the board's snow-related complaints dropped to zero. D&D serves our full property — parking lot, visitor spaces, fire routes, all building entrance walkways, and the mail delivery path. They provide storm logs for every service visit that we file for our insurance records. Their ice treatment is proactive, not reactive — they apply preventative salt before freeze events, not just after ice has formed. The cost is competitive with what we were paying previously, but the service quality and reliability are in a completely different class. I cannot recommend D&D Snow Services strongly enough to other condo boards."
"Our home had suffered ice dam damage for three winters in a row — the most recent caused water infiltration into our second-floor ceiling and required $6,500 in interior repair. I contacted D&D Snow Services after reading about their heated cable installation service. Devon came to assess the roof in September, explained exactly which areas were at risk based on the roof geometry and attic insulation situation, and provided a written installation proposal. The cables were installed in October, routed along the eave edges and through the valleys where ice dams had historically formed. This past winter was the worst in three years for snowfall and freezing rain — and we had zero ice dam formation. Zero. The cables are working exactly as described and the investment paid for itself completely by avoiding a fourth round of water damage repair. We also signed up for the residential snow contract and that service has been equally reliable."
"I manage four retail properties in the Cambridge area, and winter maintenance has historically been my biggest headache — not because of any one contractor being terrible, but because reliability is inconsistent across different services. When a storm hits overnight and a parking lot isn't cleared by 8 AM, tenants are calling me before I've had my morning coffee. I signed all four properties with D&D Snow Services this season after getting a referral from another property manager. The consistency has been remarkable — every property cleared before store open on every significant storm day, every storm logged and reported. One of my tenants told me unprompted that the lot looked better maintained this winter than any of the four years since I took over the property. That kind of feedback is exactly what good winter service should produce."
"We have a standing seam metal roof on our hobby farm property, and every winter we had sections of heavy snow and ice sliding off the roof in large sheets — a serious hazard around the outbuildings and whenever we were working nearby. I had looked into snow guards for years but wasn't sure which product or installation approach was right for a standing seam profile. D&D Snow Services recommended ColorGard clamp-on guards designed specifically for standing seam roofs — no penetrations required, which is critical for maintaining the roof warranty. The installation was done in a single day and the guards were colour-matched to our roof panels. This past winter, no large snow slides came off that roof. The snow loaded on the roof and melted gradually instead of avalanching. Our family and our animals are now safe to be near the building during and after snowfalls. Should have done this years ago."
"After injuring my back in late summer, I knew I couldn't do our driveway and walk myself this winter. My husband travels for work, our kids are grown and gone, and hiring a neighbourhood teenager hadn't worked reliably in past years. I found D&D Snow Services through a neighbour's recommendation and signed up for the full seasonal contract in September. Best decision I made all year. They showed up before every single storm cleared, salted the walk twice when freezing rain came through in January, and checked back after the city plowed us in. I didn't step on ice all winter. I didn't stress about storms. I didn't call anyone to follow up even once. For someone in my situation — limited mobility and a husband who travels — this service is genuinely life-changing. I've already re-signed for next season."
"I've been running my commercial property in Guelph for eleven years and have used five different snow contractors in that time. Most were fine when conditions were easy but unreliable during back-to-back storms or when they were stretched thin late in a heavy season. D&D Snow Services is the first contractor I've ever signed a two-year agreement with. The first winter under that agreement confirmed the decision was correct — consistent service through a difficult winter season, storm logs on every visit, and a crew that clearly follows a route schedule rather than improvising. When I had one service concern mid-season, Devon called me the same day and had it resolved at the next storm. That's the kind of responsiveness that makes a long-term service relationship work. They've earned the renewal and I'm looking at a third year."

What clients want to know before hiring D&D Snow Services
Seasonal contracts cover all storm events from November through March, including plowing, salting, and walkway clearing. Contracts are priced per property and include unlimited service visits during the season — no per-visit billing surprises regardless of how active the winter is.
Commercial contract clients receive a 2-hour response SLA from storm commencement. Residential seasonal clients are serviced in route order, typically within 4–6 hours of accumulation reaching trigger depth (usually 2 inches). We monitor forecasts proactively and pre-position equipment for major storms.
Yes. Salting and ice control can be contracted separately from plowing. This is popular for commercial clients who handle their own plowing but need reliable ice management for walkways, entry areas, and high-traffic zones. We use a calibrated spreader to avoid over-application.
Our roof snow removal crew uses non-metallic rakes and works from ground level where possible, or with harness safety systems for steep or high roofs. We never use metal shovels or ice chippers on shingled roofs, and we leave a protective buffer layer rather than scraping to bare shingles.
Commercial contract clients receive GPS-verified service logs with time stamps for every visit. Residential clients can request service confirmation via email or SMS. We are fully transparent with service records and our team logs every property visit in our operations system.
Yes. D&D Snow Services carries commercial general liability insurance specifically covering winter maintenance operations. We can provide certificates of insurance to property managers, condo corporations, and commercial landlords who require documentation for their own policies or lenders.
Yes, we accommodate additions to existing contracts at any point during the season. Pricing for mid-season additions is prorated. Many of our property management clients add properties as they expand their portfolios, and we make the process seamless.
We service Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph, Elmira, New Hamburg, Baden, and surrounding communities across Waterloo Region and Wellington County. Contact us to confirm service availability at your specific address.
Extended feedback from clients who've relied on us for multiple winters
"I've been with D&D for four consecutive winters now and what impresses me most isn't just the reliability — it's the communication. Before every major storm I get a text letting me know they're on it. After particularly heavy snowfalls they follow up to confirm everything is clear. That proactive approach is genuinely rare in any service industry, let alone snow removal. I've recommended them to four of my neighbours and every single one has stayed with D&D since."
"We manage a portfolio of 14 rental units across Kitchener and trying to coordinate snow removal for all of them under separate contracts was a logistics nightmare. When we consolidated everything under D&D two years ago it changed our entire winter operations. One invoice, one point of contact, consistent quality at every property. Their service log system satisfies our insurance requirements and has saved us from two potential liability situations where documentation was critical. The cost savings from consolidation more than paid for the management fees."
"The January 2024 ice storm was a genuine test of every snow contractor in Waterloo Region. Many services went dark for 36–48 hours. D&D had crews out during the storm itself, and when conditions were too dangerous for equipment they communicated clearly and returned the moment it was safe. Our parking lot was cleared and salted before my tenants left for work the next morning. In over a decade of managing commercial properties I've learned that you don't really know your contractor's quality until a crisis hits — D&D passed that test completely."

"D&D salted our Guelph medical clinic parking lot and walkways on a proactive schedule all season long. Not one patient slipped or complained about icy conditions. For a healthcare facility, that safety record is everything. We've signed on for another three years."
"My elderly father's property in Elmira is in my care and I live across town. D&D gives me complete peace of mind every winter — they clear his driveway and walkway reliably, text me a completion notice, and have never once let us down. Worth every penny of the contract."
"As the property manager of a Breslau industrial park, I need contractors who can handle large-volume snow clearing fast. D&D has the equipment and the staffing to clear our entire site before the morning shift arrives. Year three with them and we won't be changing."
"D&D cleared a massive build-up of snow from my flat-roof addition last January before it collapsed. They used proper roof-safe equipment and were very careful with my skylights. I had called three companies — D&D were the only ones who showed up same-day. Incredible response."
"The sidewalk clearing D&D does for our New Hamburg retail storefront is exactly what a small business owner needs. They're there before we open, the walk is bare and salted, and I've never had to call about a missed service. Consistent, reliable, genuinely excellent."
"We manage a portfolio of 14 residential properties in Kitchener and D&D handles snow for all of them under one seasonal contract. Consistent service, one invoice, one contact person. That simplicity combined with their reliability makes them irreplaceable to our operations."
"D&D did a post-storm salt application for our Waterloo commercial plaza at 4am on a Sunday after a major ice event. I didn't even have to call — they monitored the forecast and mobilized proactively. That kind of initiative is what separates them from every other snow contractor we've tried."
Featured highlights from homeowners, condo boards, and property managers in Waterloo Region.
Three years into our contract with D&D and not one single missed service. For a condo board accountable to 80 residents, that reliability isn't a bonus — it's the entire job. D&D understands that and delivers on it every single winter without exception.
D&D monitors the forecast and shows up before I've even seen the snow. I've stopped worrying about winters entirely because of this team. As a homeowner with mobility concerns, their service gives me freedom and safety I genuinely couldn't manage without.
I've managed commercial properties for 18 years and D&D Snow Services is the first contractor that has made me feel like a genuinely valued client rather than just another address on a route. Their communication, accountability, and quality of work are all exceptional.
A track record built on reliability, safety, and genuine care for every client we serve across KW Region.
Winter in Waterloo Region is serious business. Ice accumulation, rapid freeze-thaw cycles, and heavy lake-effect snowfalls can make residential driveways and commercial properties genuinely dangerous overnight. D&D Snow Services was built to take that responsibility seriously — not just as a service offering, but as a community obligation to the region we call home.
Our seasonal contracts cover residential homeowners, rental property portfolios, condominium corporations, commercial plazas, medical facilities, faith-based organisations, schools, and light industrial properties. Every contract is tailored to the property's specific layout, liability requirements, and service-timing expectations. We don't run a one-size-fits-all operation.
Our fleet is maintained year-round, our operators are trained on equipment and site-specific plans before the season begins, and our dispatch system monitors live weather data to trigger proactive pre-salting before storms make roads and walkways dangerous. That proactive approach is the difference between a slip-and-fall incident and a perfectly clear Monday morning.
D&D is also deeply aware of the burden that winter places on vulnerable members of our community. We offer reduced-rate residential contracts for seniors and persons with disabilities through our community access program, because we believe safe access to your home should not be a luxury in Waterloo Region. Several of our longest-standing residential clients are elderly homeowners who have counted on us for over six consecutive winters.
When you choose D&D Snow Services, you are choosing a team that understands the stakes of winter property maintenance — and has the people, equipment, and work ethic to meet them every single storm of the season, no matter what the forecast brings.

Used D&D Snow Services this season? Your review helps neighbours across Waterloo Region find reliable winter coverage.
"Third season with D&D and they just keep getting better. Faster response, better communication, and the driveway is always spotless by 6am. My neighbour switched to them after seeing my driveway this winter."
"We manage an office park with three buildings in Kitchener. D&D coordinates all three simultaneously and the lots are always clear before 8am. No more tenant complaints about icy walkways. Professional outfit."
"Had snow guards installed on our steel roof after a massive slide nearly hit our dog. D&D sourced the right profile for our panel type and the install was done in one visit. Not a single slide all winter. Lifesaver."
"Signed up mid-season after being let down by another contractor. D&D took us on immediately and were at our place before the next storm. Wish I'd found them in the fall. Already locked in for next full season."
"Our 88-unit condo had a previous contractor that disappeared during major storms. D&D has been rock solid — storm log after every visit, same crew each time, and the property manager line is always answered. Zero incidents this season."
"D&D installed heating cables under our interlock front steps and landing. My husband has bad knees and icy steps were a real worry. This past winter the steps were never icy once. Installation was immaculate — you can't even tell the cables are there."
"The pricing is more than fair for a full seasonal contract. I compared three companies and D&D offered the best terms — flat rate, unlimited visits, and salt included. The service has matched the promise. I haven't shovelled once this winter."
"We run a busy veterinary clinic with elderly patients visiting daily. Ice on our lot is a genuine liability. D&D treats our property like a priority — they're always here before our 8am open and they pre-salt before every major storm. Zero slips this year."
"As a property manager overseeing six residential buildings in Guelph, I've worked with a lot of contractors. D&D Snow is the only one I've never had to chase down during a storm. They show up, they document it, and they're gone before the tenants even notice. That reliability is everything in this business." — S. Blanchard, Property Manager, Guelph, ON
Verified reviews from homeowners and commercial clients across Waterloo Region.
D&D cleared our driveway before 6:30 AM every single snowfall this season. We never had to call — they just showed up. After years of unreliable contractors, this level of consistency is exactly what we needed.
We manage a 40-unit apartment complex and needed a contractor we could rely on overnight. D&D has been flawless — lots and walkways are always clear before tenants leave for work. No complaints from residents at all.
After a slip-and-fall on our commercial property last winter, we made salting a priority. D&D handles pre-treatment before every storm event. No incidents this season and our insurance company is thrilled.
We had serious ice damming causing leaks into our garage. D&D sent a crew the same day I called, cleared the roof safely, and walked me through what to watch for going forward. Reasonable price and great communication.
Our seniors' residence requires cleared walkways every morning without fail. D&D has not missed a single service visit in two seasons. The staff and residents trust them completely. A genuine community partner.
This is our third season with D&D and we keep renewing for good reason. They always arrive early, clear all the way to the garage, and salt when it's icy. My kids get out safely every morning and that's priceless.
We run a busy medical clinic and our parking lot must be safe and accessible every morning by 7:30. D&D has delivered on that promise all season. Fast, professional, and always responsive when conditions change overnight.
D&D handled calcium chloride pre-treatment before the big ice storm in February and our property was one of the only ones on the block not glazed over. Worth every cent of the seasonal package. Renewing for sure.
After a heavy snowfall, I was worried about the load on my flat-roof addition. D&D assessed and cleared it within 24 hours. They were careful around my skylights and left the property spotless. Highly recommend.
Our church has a wide stretch of sidewalk along a main road and we're required to clear it within hours of a snowfall. D&D has made that completely stress-free. Fast, thorough, and always on time. Our congregation is grateful.
Nine winters of reliable snow removal for homeowners, condo boards, and commercial clients across KW.
D&D Snow Services started with one truck and a commitment to show up every single time — no excuses, no missed visits. Nine winters later, we operate one of the most reliable snow removal fleets in Waterloo Region. We serve families who need their driveway clear before the school run, seniors who need their walkways safe, condo boards managing liability, and commercial clients who can't afford a single delay. Winter in this region is serious business, and so are we. Every seasonal contract is a promise we take personally. Our clients renew year after year because when the snow falls, they know D&D is already on the way.
“This is our fourth season with D&D and honestly I don't even think about snow removal anymore. They pre-salt before every storm, plow while we're sleeping, and the driveway is always clear when we wake up. I recommended them to three of our neighbours this fall and they all signed seasonal contracts. If you live in Waterloo and you're not with D&D, you're making your winters harder than they need to be.”— Gail Schroeder, Homeowner — Waterloo, ON
