Never Worry About Storm Access Again

You wake up to a cleared driveway while your neighbors are still shoveling. Your business stays open when others close early because their lots aren’t passable.

That’s what reliable snow removal looks like. No scrambling for backup plans when the forecast shows six inches overnight. No wondering if your contractor will actually show up this time.

You get consistent service from a local crew that knows Thurman winters aren’t predictable. We clear your property so you can focus on everything else that matters during storm season.

Thurman Snow Removal Company

Local Crew, Commercial Equipment, Real Results

We bring heavy equipment expertise to snow removal in Thurman and the surrounding Adirondack region. We’re not seasonal contractors who disappear when equipment breaks down.

Our excavating background means we understand how to operate heavy machinery without damaging your surfaces. We know the difference between residential driveways that need finesse and commercial lots that need power.

When other crews are overwhelmed by Thurman’s unpredictable winter weather, our commercial-grade equipment and local knowledge keep your property accessible.

Snow Clearing Process

Simple Process, Professional Results Every Time

We monitor weather forecasts and deploy crews based on snowfall triggers in your contract. Most residential properties get cleared when snow reaches 2-3 inches, while commercial contracts often specify 1-2 inch triggers for safety.

During active storms, we prioritize emergency access routes and medical facilities first, then move through scheduled commercial and residential properties. Our equipment handles everything from light dustings to heavy, wet snow that stops smaller plows.

After plowing, we apply salt or sand based on temperature and surface conditions. You’ll get a text confirmation when your property is complete, so you know it’s clear before you need to leave.

Commercial Snow Removal Services

What You Get With Professional Service

Your seasonal contract includes plowing, salt/sand application, and storm monitoring. We handle driveways, parking lots, walkways, and loading areas with appropriate equipment for each surface.

Commercial clients get priority scheduling around business hours when possible. Medical facilities and emergency services receive 24/7 response regardless of storm timing. Residential contracts include driveway clearing and turnaround areas.

We carry full liability insurance and provide backup equipment when primary machines need service. That means your snow removal doesn’t stop because of mechanical issues that sideline smaller operations.

How quickly do you respond during heavy snowfall in Thurman?

Response time depends on snowfall rate and your contract priority level. Emergency services and medical facilities get immediate attention, usually within 2-4 hours of reaching trigger depth. Commercial properties typically see service within 4-8 hours during active storms, while residential contracts are completed within 12-24 hours depending on storm severity. We deploy crews around the clock during major weather events, so you’re not waiting until morning if snow stops falling at midnight.
Seasonal contracts cover unlimited plowing events, salt or sand application, and storm monitoring from December through March. You’ll get driveway or lot clearing, turnaround areas, and walkway access as specified in your agreement. Commercial contracts include loading dock areas and designated parking zones. We handle equipment maintenance, fuel, and operator costs – you just pay one seasonal rate regardless of how many storms hit Thurman this winter.
Yes, we maintain backup equipment specifically for this reason. Our excavating business gives us access to multiple machines that can handle snow removal when primary equipment needs service. Smaller contractors often leave customers stranded when their single plow truck breaks down mid-storm. We’ve been in situations where we’ve used excavators with pusher attachments to clear critical commercial accounts when conventional plows couldn’t handle heavy, wet snow conditions.
Our operators have experience with heavy equipment from our excavating work, so we understand how to work around delicate surfaces and landscaping. We use appropriate blade pressure and angles for different surface types – concrete, asphalt, and gravel all require different techniques. Before snow season, we walk through your property to identify sprinkler heads, decorative elements, and surface transitions that need special attention. Proper equipment setup prevents the gouging and surface damage you see from inexperienced operators.
We prioritize route planning to ensure we can reach all contracted properties even during severe weather. Our equipment can handle conditions that stop smaller trucks, and we coordinate with local road crews when necessary. If extreme conditions truly prevent access, we communicate immediately and reschedule service as soon as roads are passable. This rarely happens because we use commercial-grade equipment designed for harsh conditions, but we’ll always keep you informed if delays occur.
We handle both seasonal contracts and emergency one-time service, though availability for one-time calls depends on our existing contract commitments. Seasonal contracts get priority during storms because they allow us to plan routes and guarantee service levels. One-time service works well for property managers who need occasional help or homeowners testing our service before committing to a full season. Emergency calls for medical access or business-critical situations get immediate attention regardless of contract status.
