What Reliable Snow Removal Actually Looks Like

When the snow hits, you’re not scrambling to find someone available. Your parking lots are cleared before your first customer arrives. Your walkways are safe for employees and visitors.

You’re not dealing with slip-and-fall claims because someone couldn’t get proper footing. Your insurance company isn’t questioning whether you took reasonable precautions. Your tenants aren’t complaining about inaccessible driveways.

Most importantly, you’re not losing revenue because customers can’t reach your business. While your competitors are closed or operating with reduced capacity, you’re fully operational. That’s what happens when you work with a snow removal company that treats winter weather like the serious business disruption it is.

Glens Falls Snow Removal Experts

We Know Glens Falls Winters

We’ve been handling heavy-duty projects in the Glens Falls area for years. We understand how quickly weather conditions change in our region and how much snow can accumulate in a single storm.

Our equipment isn’t borrowed or rented for the season. We own commercial-grade plows and have operators who know the difference between clearing a residential driveway and managing a commercial property with multiple access points.

When other contractors are overwhelmed or unavailable, we’re the company that property managers call. We’ve built our reputation on showing up when conditions are at their worst, not just when it’s convenient.

Snow Removal Process

Here's How We Handle Your Snow

We start by evaluating your property layout, identifying priority areas like fire lanes and main access routes. You’ll know exactly what gets cleared first and where snow gets placed so it doesn’t create drainage problems later.

When snow is forecasted, we’re already positioning equipment and monitoring conditions. We don’t wait until accumulation reaches a certain depth if your business needs earlier intervention. Emergency calls get immediate response, even during overnight storms.

After clearing, we document the work and handle any follow-up needs like ice treatment or additional passes if snow continues. You get a clear record of service for your insurance and property management files. No guesswork about what was done or when.

What's Included in Professional Snow Removal

Your snow removal service covers all vehicular and pedestrian areas that affect property access and safety. This includes parking lots, driving lanes, loading docks, and main walkways. We’re not just pushing snow around – we’re strategically placing it where it won’t cause problems as it melts.

Ice treatment is included when conditions require it, particularly on slopes and high-traffic areas. We use commercial-grade materials that work in Glens Falls temperature ranges, not just basic rock salt that stops working when it gets really cold.

Emergency response means we’re available for storm events that happen outside regular business hours. Your property doesn’t wait until Monday morning to become a liability risk, and neither do we. You get the same level of service whether it’s a Tuesday afternoon or a Saturday night blizzard.

How quickly can you respond to emergency snow removal calls?

We typically respond to emergency calls within 2-4 hours during active storm conditions, depending on the severity of the weather and our current route. For established clients with seasonal contracts, response times are often faster because we’re already familiar with your property layout and priority areas. Emergency response includes overnight and weekend availability – storms don’t follow business hours, and neither do we. We maintain equipment readiness throughout the winter season specifically to handle urgent situations when other contractors might be unavailable or overwhelmed.

Do you offer seasonal contracts or only per-storm pricing?

We offer both seasonal contracts and per-storm pricing, though most commercial clients prefer seasonal agreements for budget predictability. Seasonal contracts lock in your rate regardless of how many storms we get, which protects you from the price spikes that happen during heavy snow years. These contracts also guarantee priority response times and include ice treatment as needed. Per-storm pricing works better for smaller properties or clients who only need occasional service. We can structure either option based on your property size, usage patterns, and budget requirements.

What size commercial properties can you handle for snow removal?

Our commercial-grade equipment handles everything from small office complexes to large retail centers and industrial facilities. We regularly service properties ranging from 5,000 square foot parking areas up to multi-acre commercial sites. The key isn’t just property size – it’s having the right equipment and experience to work efficiently around parked vehicles, loading docks, and pedestrian areas without causing damage. We evaluate each property individually to determine the best approach for your specific layout, traffic patterns, and operational needs during snow events.

Are you insured and bonded for commercial snow removal work?

Yes, we carry full commercial liability insurance and bonding specifically for snow removal operations. This coverage protects both your property and our operations during service. We provide certificates of insurance to property managers and business owners who require documentation for their files. Our insurance covers potential property damage from our equipment as well as liability issues related to snow removal operations. Many of our commercial clients require proof of insurance before we begin service, and we handle that documentation as part of the initial setup process.

How do you determine when to start plowing during a storm?

We don’t use a one-size-fits-all approach to snow accumulation triggers. For most commercial properties, we begin plowing at 2-3 inches of accumulation, but this varies based on your business needs and traffic patterns. High-traffic retail locations might need service sooner, while industrial sites with less frequent access can wait for greater accumulation. We also consider the rate of snowfall – during heavy, fast-moving storms, we start earlier to prevent snow from becoming too deep to clear efficiently. The goal is keeping your property accessible throughout the storm, not just after it ends.

Where do you put the snow when clearing commercial parking lots?

Snow placement is planned before the first storm hits, not figured out during the event. We identify areas on your property that can accommodate snow piles without blocking fire lanes, drainage systems, or future parking needs. We avoid placing snow where spring melting will cause flooding or where it blocks sight lines for vehicle traffic. For properties with limited space, we can arrange snow removal and hauling services, though this involves additional costs. Proper snow placement prevents the common problem of losing more parking spaces to snow piles than necessary throughout the winter season.
