No more wondering if your contractor will show up during the next storm. No more scrambling to find last-minute snow removal when your regular guy disappears. You get professional service from a local company that understands how quickly weather changes in the Adirondacks and responds accordingly.

Local Crew, Professional Equipment, Proven Results

We bring heavy equipment expertise to snow removal in Johnsburg and surrounding areas. The same attention to detail and professional approach that drives our excavating work applies to keeping your property clear all winter long.

We’re based locally, which means we understand how fast storms can develop in this area and how important it is to get crews moving early. Our equipment is maintained and ready, and we’ve built our winter operations around reliability rather than just showing up when it’s convenient.

You’re working with a company that’s invested in the community and has the equipment and experience to handle everything from light dustings to major storm cleanup.

Snow Cleaning Services Process

Straightforward Process, Professional Results Every Time

We start with a site visit to understand your property layout, priority areas, and any specific requirements you have. This includes identifying where snow should be pushed, areas that need extra attention for safety, and timing that works with your operations.

When snow is forecast, we’re already preparing equipment and monitoring conditions. Our crews mobilize based on accumulation and timing to ensure we’re clearing your property when it makes the most sense – not too early where we’re just pushing slush around, but not so late that access becomes a problem.

During active storms, we maintain communication about timing and any changes to the plan. After clearing, we handle ice management and salt application in key areas. For seasonal contracts, we provide regular updates and coordinate with you on any special requirements as conditions change throughout the winter.

Commercial Snow Removal Services

Complete Winter Property Maintenance Coverage

Our snow removal services cover parking lots, driveways, loading areas, and pedestrian walkways. We handle both the heavy clearing with professional plowing equipment and the detail work around building entrances, handicap spaces, and high-traffic pedestrian areas.

Ice management is included with salt and ice melt application in critical areas where slip hazards develop. We coordinate timing around your business hours when possible and provide emergency response during severe weather events that require immediate attention.

For larger commercial properties, we can establish snow storage areas and manage removal when accumulation becomes a space issue. Our equipment can handle everything from routine maintenance plowing to major storm cleanup, and we maintain backup equipment to ensure service continuity even during peak demand periods when other contractors might be stretched thin.

How quickly can you respond during active snowstorms?

We typically begin mobilizing crews when 2-3 inches of accumulation is forecast, not after it’s already on the ground. During active storms, response time depends on the severity and your priority level, but most properties are serviced within 2-4 hours of our crews hitting the road. Emergency situations – like medical facilities or critical access routes – get priority response. We monitor weather continuously during storm events and adjust crew deployment to handle the most critical properties first, then work through our route systematically.
Seasonal contracts include unlimited plowing visits based on accumulation triggers we establish together, typically 2-3 inches depending on your needs. Salt application for ice management in key areas is included, along with sidewalk and walkway clearing around building entrances. You get priority scheduling, which means we service contract customers before one-time calls. The contract covers the entire winter season with predictable monthly payments, so you’re not dealing with per-visit charges that can add up quickly during heavy snow years.
Yes, we handle residential snow plowing for driveways and private roads, especially larger properties that require professional equipment. Our focus is on properties where our larger equipment makes sense – long driveways, multiple parking areas, or situations where homeowners need reliable service but don’t want to deal with smaller contractors who might not show up consistently. We can include residential properties in seasonal contracts or handle them on a per-storm basis, depending on what works better for your situation and budget.
Our operators are experienced with professional equipment and understand how to set blade heights and approach angles to protect surfaces. We mark sensitive areas like water shut-offs, decorative elements, and landscape features before the season starts. Our equipment includes adjustable blades and we use appropriate techniques for different surface types – what works on asphalt might not be right for decorative pavers or gravel areas. We carry comprehensive insurance, but our focus is on preventing damage through proper technique and site preparation rather than just fixing problems after they happen.
We maintain backup equipment specifically for this situation and have relationships with other professional contractors who can step in if needed. Our equipment gets preventive maintenance before the season starts, but we know breakdowns can happen at the worst possible times. For contract customers, we guarantee service continuity – if our primary equipment is down, we’ll arrange alternative coverage to meet your needs. This is one of the advantages of working with an established excavating company rather than a guy with a pickup truck who has no backup plan when things go wrong.
Ice management is part of our standard snow removal service, focusing on high-traffic areas like building entrances, handicap spaces, and main walkways. We apply salt or ice melt based on temperature conditions – straight salt works fine until temperatures drop below 15°F, then we switch to ice melt products that work in colder conditions. Application timing matters – we typically handle ice treatment after plowing is complete, but during freezing rain or ice storm conditions, we might need to treat surfaces before or during the event to prevent dangerous buildup.
