Who We Are

Urban crews backed by national protocols and local intuition keep quality high. Every operator is insured, trained, and adept at close-quarter work. We arrive early, speak courteously, and keep noise low for sleeping neighbors.

Coaching spans curb control, melt calibration, ADA clearance, and scanning for urban trip risks. Dispatch monitors weather and traffic so crews avoid jams. Redundancies across neighborhoods prevent bottlenecks.

From boutiques to brownstones, from clinics to condos, we keep University Of California-Santa Barbara, CA walkable. We map drains, bike storage, hydrants, ramps, and drip zones for precision clears.

Services

• Sidewalk, stoop, and entry clearing with broom finishes and clean curb transitions.
• We plow alleys and bays while stacking snow where it will not block views.
• Melt is calibrated for pavers and stone; crosswalks and ramps get extra checks.
• ADA routes are hand-cleared and melt-dosed to keep traction without residue.
• Seasonal contracts, per-event dispatch, emergency call-outs, and micro-route options for neighboring clients.

We can haul snow off-site, sweep towers, clear racks, and even tidy entry glass on request.

Why Choose Us

We blend scale and street-speed: national standards, local dispatchers, and neighborhood crews who know every alley. First passes fly out quickly to open doors, then we return for polishing and ice sweeps. Billing stays crisp with photos and agreed scopes.

Risk control sits at the core: cones, signage, melt calibration, and brooming near decorative surfaces. Your curb appeal stays sharp because crews stay professional and stacking stays tidy.

How We Work

Sequence: monitor, pre-treat, clear, broom, melt, inspect, photo. Surface-matched tools prevent scars and spalling. Local staging means we move faster than the storm.

Comms cadence: pre-storm notice, en-route ETA, mid-storm update, completion proof, and refreeze alert. Threshold-based dispatch triggers automatic rolls so you are not stuck waiting for approvals mid-storm.

Safety, Compliance, and Urban Care

Safety in the city means wider ADA paths, clear crosswalk lines, and melt dosage that avoids residue on polished stone. We log slip scores at arrival and departure, photograph hazards, and drop cones where sightlines shrink. Insurance and inspections are documented for building approvals. We roll back when temps dip to stop black ice.

Rubber edges, broom passes, and tuned melt keep stone and pavers safe. Drain grates are opened so melt runs to the right spots; canopy drip lines are treated early. Emergency infrastructure stays exposed and clear.

Playbooks by Property Type

Retail playbooks prioritize walks, patios, curbs, then alleys. Hospitality routes clear porte-cochre lanes and luggage paths before lots. Education playbooks secure loops, bus bays, and crosswalks immediately. Medical sites emphasize ramps and ambulance bays. Brownstones and homes are cleared with hand tools for fine control.

We tailor comms so each property type gets the clarity it needs. Crew apps call out awnings, art, corrals, planters, and glass.

Residential Comfort

Homes receive quiet passes, broomed stoops, and soft lighting. We maintain package, rideshare, and pet paths so routines stay intact. Paver stoops get broom-first clears with minimal melt.

Traveling residents receive photo proof and quick checks after refreeze warnings. We can group neighbors for faster ETAs and better rates. We place turf flags and protect garden beds from stack creep.

Strategy, Guarantees, and Upkeep

We co-write a winter plan: trigger depths, priority doors, stack corners, melt preferences, and who approves extras. We guarantee on-time first passes, evidence, and refreeze checks. Angles and markers keep turf and stone safe.

Extended storms get mid-run clears; marginal temps get multiple 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.

Community, Environment, and Courtesy

Eco-minded approach: measured melt, broom-first on decorative areas, runoff checks at drains, and low-idle policies for trucks. Sustainability shows up in recycled materials and tuned fleets. We never block walks or spray storefronts.

Communication is always human: dispatch answers calls, route leads text when near, and follow-ups share photos. We can assign multilingual leads to match your staff or building preferences.

Neighborhood Winter Tips & Preparedness

We coach tenants and staff to store mats indoors, mark uneven pavers, and keep wet-floor signs ready near vestibules. Protected floor paths in package/bike rooms stop slick spots. We recommend rug rotations, boot trays, and water-catching grids to keep interior floors safe during heavy storms. Need signage templates or lobby scripts? We provide them.

We align delivery timing, customer messaging, and stack placement. For residences, we recommend neighbor clusters, pet-safe melt zones, and clear bin staging so pickup days stay smooth. We organize logs and photos for managers in one folder.
