Equipment That Handles Real Storms

We bring commercial-grade equipment to every snow removal job in Cossayuna. We’ve been handling excavating and trucking work in Washington County for years, which means we understand how to move material efficiently – including snow.

Our equipment doesn’t get stuck or break down when you need it most. We know the local roads, the problem areas that ice over first, and exactly how much salt your property needs without wasting money.

Most importantly, we show up. When other contractors are making excuses, we’re clearing your snow.

Snow Cleaning Services Process

Clear Process, Clear Results

We start by assessing your property and discussing your specific needs – when you need service, priority areas, and any obstacles to work around. Every property is different, and cookie-cutter approaches leave you stuck.

When snow starts falling, we monitor conditions and deploy based on your agreed schedule. Most commercial clients want us there before business hours. Residential clients typically prefer service completed by mid-morning.

We clear all designated areas, apply salt or de-icing material where needed, and make sure drainage areas stay open. No piles blocking your entrance. No ice patches waiting to cause problems. Just clear, safe access to your property.

Commercial Snow Removal Options

What's Included in Service

Your snow removal service includes complete clearing of driveways, parking areas, and walkways using commercial-grade plowing equipment. We handle everything from light snow pushback to full removal during heavy storms.

Salt and de-icing applications are included where needed to prevent dangerous ice formation. We pay special attention to high-traffic areas like entrances, handicap spaces, and main walkways where safety is critical.

Emergency response is available during severe weather events. Cossayuna can get hit hard during lake-effect events, and we’re equipped to handle the heavy, wet snow that stops other contractors. Our excavating background means we have the equipment and experience to move serious amounts of snow when others are overwhelmed.

How quickly can you respond during a snowstorm emergency?

We typically respond within 2-4 hours during active snowstorms, prioritizing commercial clients and emergency access routes first. Our response time depends on storm severity and current workload, but we maintain equipment ready for deployment throughout the winter season. For clients with seasonal contracts, we often begin service proactively based on weather forecasts rather than waiting for calls. Emergency situations like blocked access for medical or safety reasons get immediate priority. We’re equipped to work around the clock during major storm events that dump significant snowfall in short periods.

What's the difference between seasonal contracts and per-storm pricing?

Seasonal contracts provide predictable costs and guaranteed service priority throughout winter, typically running from November through March. You pay a set amount regardless of how many times it snows, which protects you from expensive winters and ensures you’re first on our list during storms. Per-storm pricing means you pay only when we provide service, but rates are higher per visit and you’re not guaranteed priority scheduling during busy periods. Most commercial clients prefer seasonal contracts for budget predictability and service reliability. Residential clients often choose per-storm pricing if they have backup options or minimal snow removal needs.

Do you provide salt and de-icing, or is that separate?

Salt and de-icing applications are included in our standard snow removal service for high-priority areas like entrances, walkways, and handicap accessible spaces. We apply material strategically rather than covering entire surfaces, which keeps costs reasonable while maintaining safety. Heavy salt applications for large parking areas or specialized de-icing products may involve additional charges depending on your specific needs and material costs. We discuss de-icing requirements during initial property assessment and include expected costs in your service agreement. Our goal is preventing ice formation in critical areas without unnecessary expense.

What happens if my driveway or parking lot gets damaged during snow removal?

We carry full liability insurance covering property damage during snow removal operations, and our experienced operators know how to work around landscaping, parked vehicles, and property features safely. Before starting service, we walk your property to identify potential problem areas like low curbs, decorative elements, or drainage features that need special attention. Most damage occurs when contractors rush or use inappropriate equipment for conditions. Our excavating background means we understand how to operate heavy equipment precisely without damaging surfaces. Any legitimate damage claims are handled promptly through our insurance coverage.

Can you handle heavy lake-effect snow that other contractors can't manage?

Yes, our commercial-grade excavating equipment handles heavy, wet lake-effect snow that overwhelms typical snow plowing setups. Cossayuna can receive significant snowfall during lake-effect events, often creating dense, heavy snow that requires serious equipment to move efficiently. We have the horsepower and weight needed to push through deep accumulations without getting stuck or leaving behind packed snow. Our trucking capability also means we can remove snow from your property entirely when piling becomes a problem. Many residential snow contractors simply can’t handle the equipment demands of serious snowstorms.

How early can you clear commercial properties before business hours?

We typically begin commercial snow clearing between 4-6 AM to ensure properties are accessible before employees and customers arrive. Exact timing depends on your business needs and when snowfall stops, but most commercial clients want service completed by 7-8 AM. We coordinate scheduling during your initial consultation to understand your specific requirements and peak traffic times. Some retail clients need earlier access for deliveries, while office properties may have more flexibility. Emergency overnight service is available during severe storms when continuous clearing becomes necessary to maintain access throughout the event.
