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 Brookings, SD walkable. We map drains, bike storage, hydrants, ramps, and drip zones for precision clears.

Services

• Alley, loading bay, and parking pad plowing with strategic stacking that preserves visibility.
• 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.

Why Choose Us

You get national reliability plus crews who live the block. First passes fly out quickly to open doors, then we return for polishing and ice sweeps. 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

Sequence: monitor, pre-treat, clear, broom, melt, inspect, photo. Surface-matched tools prevent scars and spalling. 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. 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. We keep hydrants, standpipes, and egress paths completely visible for inspectors.

Playbooks by Property Type

Storefronts and cafs get front walks, patio edges, and curb cuts cleared first, then loading alleys and parking pads. 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. 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 maintain package, rideshare, and pet paths so routines stay intact. 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. Sustainability shows up in recycled materials and tuned fleets. We never block walks or spray storefronts.

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.

Seasonal Timeline and Service Matrix

Pre-season: site walk, hazard list, marker placement, trigger and melt alignment, and stack-zone approval. In-season: forecast alerts, pre-treatment, staged gear, rapid first pass, detail pass, refreeze sweep. Post-season: marker pull, surface audit, turf check, and debrief.

Plan tiers: essential for homes with triggers and proof; silver for shops with rush timing and overnight rechecks; gold for fastest ETAs, dedicated gear, and refreeze patrols; platinum for multi-site SLAs and unified billing|Tiers: essential/bronze (homes, trigger + proof), standard/silver (retail rush timing + rechecks), priority/gold (fastest ETA + dedicated gear + refreeze patrols), enterprise/platinum (multi-site SLA + consolidated billing)|Choose essential, standard, priority, or enterprise to match speed and oversight}. We flex inside tiers when storms surge.

Metrics tracked: arrival time, first-open time, slip-score change, melt per 1,000 sq ft, satisfaction ratings, and incident-free streaks. Reports highlight wins, gaps, and next-storm tweaks.

Neighborhood Winter Tips & Preparedness

We coach tenants and staff to store mats indoors, mark uneven pavers, and keep wet-floor signs ready near vestibules. Protected floor paths in package/bike rooms stop slick spots. We recommend rug rotations, boot trays, and water-catching grids to keep interior floors safe during heavy storms. We share ready-to-print lobby signs and quick scripts.

We align delivery timing, customer messaging, and stack placement. Residents benefit from cluster routes, pet-friendly melt areas, and tidy bin paths. We organize logs and photos for managers in one folder.
