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 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. Storm desk keeps eyes on radar, transit delays, and bridge closures to reroute teams fast. Backup gear and crews are staged in multiple neighborhoods to avoid single-point delays.

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

How We Work

Workflow: forecast watch pre-treat first pass detail pass melt reapply inspect proof. Tools match surfaces: plows for pads, blowers for walks, brooms for pavers, rubber edges for delicate brick. Local staging means we move faster than the storm.

We keep you informed from first flake to final broom. 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 score risk, photo hazards, and cone tight turns. 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. 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. Hospitality routes clear porte-cochre lanes and luggage paths before lots. Schools and childcare sites get parent loops, bus bays, and crosswalk guards salted early. Clinics get ramps, ambulance access, and reserved doctor parking first. Residences see stoops, drivelets, bin paths, and mailboxes handled with hand tools.

Communication flexes per property: retailers want pre-open photos; boards want concise status; hotels want late-night ETAs; clinics want ETA boards; residents want simple texts. Crew apps call out awnings, art, corrals, planters, and glass.

Residential Comfort

Homes receive quiet passes, broomed stoops, and soft lighting. We clear paths for mail, packages, rideshare pickups, and pet walks, keeping life flowing even in heavy bands. Paver stoops get broom-first clears with minimal melt.

Traveling residents receive photo proof and quick checks after refreeze warnings. Route clustering accelerates ETAs and trims cost. Garden beds stay safe thanks to flagged stack zones.

Strategy, Guarantees, and Upkeep

Plans set trigger inches, priority entries, stack areas, melt chemistry, and approval paths. We guarantee on-time first passes, evidence, and refreeze checks. Turf and hardscape are protected with markers, cones, and careful blade angles.

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.

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. Courtesy rules: no blocking sidewalks, no stacking against vehicles, no spray on glass or displays.

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.
