Per push or the season
What an average Janesville winter costs either way
NOAA's 1991-2020 normals for the Janesville station average 36.6 inches of snow a year, with 12.7 days of an inch or more and 2 days of five inches or more (NOAA).
Plow every one of those inch-plus days at $40 to $75 and the winter costs $508 to $953. A residential season runs $400 to $900. The two meet in an average year, which makes the contract terms the real comparison: the trigger depth, whether walks and salt are in, the start and end dates, and whether the crew comes back after the city plow. Full walk-through in per push vs seasonal contract.
What moves the price
Why two Janesville quotes can differ
Driveway length and width
A standard one- or two-car drive is the $40 to $75 case. Past 300 feet the local range is $60 to $120.
Walks, steps and the public sidewalk
Hand work is slower than a plow. Added to a visit it runs $20 to $50; ask whether the corner ramps are in.
Salt or sand
$20 to $60 a visit in Wisconsin, and Janesville's rule covers ice as well as snow.
Where the snow can go
Janesville bans pushing it into the street, so a narrow lot with nowhere to stack it takes more time.
Depth and drifting
Only 2 days a year bring five inches or more, but those are the slow, heavy visits.
The hour you need it
A business that opens at 6 a.m. or a church before services is priced for an early route slot.
Costs that are not the plow
What skipping it can cost in Janesville
- An unshoveled sidewalk: 12 hours to clear it, a door hanger with 24 more after a complaint, then the city clears it and bills the owner (City of Janesville), and a possible forfeiture up to $100 plus costs (ordinance 34-59 and 34-63).
- A car on the street in a winter weather emergency: $50 and a possible tow (Janesville Gazette). Evansville's ticket is at least $100 (Evansville code).
- An ice dam that gets in: $650 to $2,400 to steam it out (Angi), before any ceiling or insulation repair.
Months with the most snow are January (10.8 inches) and February (10.1). Every service and its own price line is on the services page.
