Who We Are

We are the city strike team of a national snow network, pairing local street knowledge with national QA. 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. Storm desk keeps eyes on radar, transit delays, and bridge closures to reroute teams fast. Redundancies across neighborhoods prevent bottlenecks.

We serve storefront rows, mixed-use towers, brownstones, condos, co-ops, clinics, schools, boutique hotels, and logistics micro-hubs. We map drains, bike storage, hydrants, ramps, and drip zones for precision clears.

Services

• We plow alleys and bays while stacking snow where it will not block views.
• Ice control tuned for pavers, concrete, and decorative stone plus black-ice monitoring at crosswalks.
• Stair, ramp, and ADA route detailing with heated shovels and gentle melt.
• Seasonal contracts, per-event dispatch, emergency call-outs, and micro-route options for neighboring clients.

Add-ons: haul-away for tight city lots, stair tower brooming, bike-rack clearance, and post-storm glass cleaning on request.

How We Work

Surface protection: poly edges near curbs, broom-first on pavers, melt calibrated for stone thresholds. Drains stay open and drip zones get early melt. We keep hydrants, standpipes, and egress paths completely visible for inspectors.

Playbooks by Property Type

Retail playbooks prioritize walks, patios, curbs, then alleys. Hotels focus on porte-cochre loops, valet lanes, and luggage paths before secondary parking. Schools and childcare sites get parent loops, bus bays, and crosswalk guards salted early. 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.

Away? We send photos and swing back if temps dip. Route clustering accelerates ETAs and trims cost. 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. Guarantees cover arrival windows, proof-of-service, and refreeze sweeps when temps dive. Angles and markers keep turf and stone safe.

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.
