Who We Are

We are the city strike team of a national snow network, pairing local street knowledge with national QA. Operators are vetted, uniformed, insured, and trained on tight-space maneuvering. We prize punctuality, polite interactions with neighbors, and low-noise approaches at dawn.

Coaching spans curb control, melt calibration, ADA clearance, and scanning for urban trip risks. Dispatch monitors weather and traffic so crews avoid jams. Backup gear and crews are staged in multiple neighborhoods to avoid single-point delays.

From boutiques to brownstones, from clinics to condos, we keep Portola, CA walkable. We map drains, bike storage, hydrants, ramps, and drip zones for precision clears.

Schools and childcare sites get parent loops, bus bays, and crosswalk guards salted early. Clinics get ramps, ambulance access, and reserved doctor parking first. Brownstones and homes are cleared with hand tools for fine control.

Strategy, Guarantees, and Upkeep

Long storms trigger mid-event cleanups; marginal temps trigger dusk and dawn sweeps. Haul-away is available with permits and route planning. Roof drip lines, gutters, and awnings are checked so icicles do not create sidewalk hazards.
