Who We Are

We are the city strike team of a national snow network, pairing local street knowledge with national QA. Operators are vetted, uniformed, insured, and trained on tight-space maneuvering. 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. 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.

We serve storefront rows, mixed-use towers, brownstones, condos, co-ops, clinics, schools, boutique hotels, and logistics micro-hubs. 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.
• Alley, loading bay, and parking pad plowing with strategic stacking that preserves visibility.
• Melt is calibrated for pavers and stone; crosswalks and ramps get extra checks.
• 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.

Why Choose Us

We blend scale and street-speed: national standards, local dispatchers, and neighborhood crews who know every alley. Rapid first clear followed by polish runs and melt rechecks. 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

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.

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. All paperworkinsurance, permits, equipment checksstays current and ready for your building management. 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. Schools and childcare sites get parent loops, bus bays, and crosswalk guards salted early. Clinics get ramps, ambulance access, and reserved doctor parking first. Brownstones and homes are cleared with hand tools for fine control.

We tailor comms so each property type gets the clarity it needs. We log quirks: low awnings, sculpture placements, bike corrals, planter boxes, and glass corners.

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.

Away? We send photos and swing back if temps dip. 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.

Long storms trigger mid-event cleanups; marginal temps trigger dusk and dawn sweeps. If haul-away is needed, we coordinate loaders, trucks, routes, and permitted dump sites. 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.

Real people handle updates and proof. Crew leads can align with your preferred language for clarity.
