Why Use a Snow Removal Service?

Many people are understandably hesitant to pay for snow removal services, especially when the accumulation is not that much.  It often seems easier to just trudge through the snow or work around it until it melts on its own.  While this might be fine for a light snowfall, there are many reasons why you should plan to remove snow from walkways and driveways once it begins to accumulate.

First (and perhaps most obviously), snow accumulation is a safety hazard.  It doesn’t take much to make the ground slick, which can easily lead to slips, falls, and traffic accidents.  Even the most physically capable person can step on a slick spot wrong and lose their footing, and we don’t need to tell you how much more risky it is for the elderly to walk in the snow!  Promptly removing snow from walkways helps everyone get where they need to go without acquiring any bruises or broken bones on the way.

While we are all aware of the loss of traction that snow causes, we often forget about another property of accumulated snow: it is heavy!  Snow that builds up on roofs (especially flat ones), trees, and other structures can quickly become more weight than the structure can bear.  Carports can come crashing down under the weight of too much snow, and large branches can fall from trees, damaging your home, vehicle, or even family members that happen to be underneath them.

If you run a business, removing snow can also be a great winter marketing technique.  People are much more likely to pull into your parking lot if it has been cleared.  If you clear your parking area and sidewalks and your competitor doesn’t, you will likely even gain some new customers!  Keeping commercial properties clean and clear also reduces your liability for accidents that might happen on your property. 

Residential Snow Removal Services

Whether you are hosting a holiday party or are just trying to get to work on a snowy winter morning, not having to worry about the aftermath of last night’s snowstorm is sure to make your day smoother and less stressful.  We will come and clear your driveway, sidewalks, and roof if there is enough accumulation while you spend a few extra minutes inside with a warm breakfast.

We have the tools, experience, and manpower to clear most residential properties very quickly.  In less than an hour, our teams can clear a space that would take you and your shovel all morning to clear!  Our equipment also clears more snow than a standard snow shovel, which will almost always leave a thin layer of snow or ice behind. 

We also know when it is time to clear snow from a roof and when it is better to leave it be (a thin layer of snow actually helps insulate your home).  A sloped roof with a smooth covering of snow usually does not pose any danger.  If your roof is flat or if snow dams have begun to form, however, we will remove the snow before it can cause damage.

When snow begins to fall, call us to reserve your appointment for snow removal.  Your party guests will appreciate the effort you put into keeping them safe and keeping their shoes dry (you don’t even have to tell them that you didn’t shovel the sidewalk yourself!).  And if you are worried about your grandmother slipping when she goes out to collect the mail, we’ll be happy to clear her sidewalks as well!

Commercial Snow Removal Services

We have already mentioned a few of the extra benefits that businesses can reap from professional snow removal.  In addition to reducing the likelihood of accidents that you might be liable for and making your customers feel welcome and cared for, we will have the snow removed before your business opens without putting any additional burden on you or your employees.

We often begin working very early in the morning so that as soon as the snow stops falling, we are starting to clear it.  When you contract with us for seasonal snow removal, you don’t even have to wake up early to call us.  We will automatically come as early as we can to prepare your parking lot and walkways for an on-time opening.

If you are concerned about fitting snow removal into your budget, don’t worry!  Our rates are incredibly affordable (and when you contract with us, you pay one set price no matter how many times it snows).  Not only will we clear your property quicker and more completely than your employees can, our services will most likely cost less than the extra hours you would have to pay your employees to do it.  And your employees will certainly appreciate not being sent out in the cold with shovels!
