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.

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

• 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.
• Flexible plans: seasonal, per-event, on-call, and neighbor bundles.

Why Choose Us

You get national reliability plus crews who live the block. Rapid first clear followed by polish runs and melt rechecks. Transparent scopes and photo proof keep billing honest and predictable.

Risk control sits at the core: cones, signage, melt calibration, and brooming near decorative surfaces. Brand protection matters: clean equipment, polite greetings, and tidy stack zones keep your frontage looking premium.

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. Auto-dispatch based on your thresholds removes delay.

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. Refreeze sweeps auto-deploy when temps dive.

Surface protection: poly edges near curbs, broom-first on pavers, melt calibrated for stone thresholds. Drains stay open and drip zones get early melt. 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. Clinics get ramps, ambulance access, and reserved doctor parking first. Brownstones and homes are cleared with hand tools for fine control.

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 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. We can group neighbors for faster ETAs and better rates. Garden beds stay safe thanks to flagged stack zones.

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. Turf and hardscape are protected with markers, cones, and careful blade angles.

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

Melt is dosed carefully, sweeping comes first, drains are protected, idling is limited. 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.

Real people handle updates and proof. 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. Package rooms, bike rooms, and service elevators get protected floor paths to prevent drip trails from turning slick. 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.
