Farina Snow Removal Service is a Cambridge snow and ice removal contractor. Its own site lists residential and commercial snow plowing, shoveling, de-icing and ice dam removal, plus gutter and roofing services, and says the business has been operating for 35 years. A 2022 customer wrote that they had relied on Farina for snow removal at their small house for several winters, and that Rafael and his team arrived shortly after storms. That 2022 customer said the team would come mid-storm when very high accumulation was forecast, that quotes and invoices were sent promptly and accurately, and that they renewed their contract for the coming winter. A 2025 customer said Farina kept them notified of its plan during each snow event and called the pricing fair. A separate 2022 customer said Rafael handled scheduling well and answered all their questions. A 2024 customer gave one star and called the service expensive and unreliable.
Farina has been extremely reliable, keeping me notified of their plan during each snow event. The pricing is fair, and their team are true professionals. Highly recommend.
Not worth it! Expensive and unreliable.
For the past several winters, we have happily relied upon Farina Exterior Maintenance to provide snow removal services at our small house. Rafael and his team can always be depended upon to arrive shortly after any storm. They do a thorough job cleaning, and are respectful of our neighbors’ space, especially important given the small lots on our block. Should the forecast be for extremely high snow accumulation, they will come mid-storm to get things started. To the envy of our neighbors, we are usually one of the very first homes to be dug out on our block even after a frigid Nor’ easter! Too, the administrative side of the business is equally well-organized. From initial quotes to invoicing, all are sent promptly and accurately. The on-line billing system makes it simple to reference current and historical quotes and invoices, plus the system is promptly updated to reflect payments, etc. Rafael has obviously tried to make this part of Farina’s service equally customer-friendly! Even more importantly, working with Rafael, whether in-person, via e:mail or via text, is a real pleasure. He is a good listener, is clear in his communications, and very open to feedback. To sum, we have so appreciated working with Rafael and team that we renewed our contract again for this coming winter!!
Rafael was excellent with scheduling and answered all questions. Knowledgeable and clear.
