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.

Training covers blade finesse near curbs, melt dosing on pavers, ADA widths on city walks, and hazard spotting in crowded areas. 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 Vernon Hills, Illinois walkable. Each site gets a micro-map noting drains, bike racks, hydrants, curb cuts, and canopy drip lines.

Services

• Sidewalks and stoops polished with broom finishes and neat curb lines.
• 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.
• 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.

Playbooks by Property Type

Storefronts and cafs get front walks, patio edges, and curb cuts cleared first, then loading alleys and parking pads. 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. 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. We log quirks: low awnings, sculpture placements, bike corrals, planter boxes, and glass corners.

Residential Comfort

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

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. Drip zones are treated to stop icicle 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. We reuse markers, recycle pallets, and keep engines tuned to cut emissions. 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.
