City-smart snow response
City winters in Ithaca, New York demand precision: we plow clean lines, shovel every entry, and salt smart so shoppers and commuters stay safe.
We manage noise and timing for residents and shop owners who rely on clear walks at dawn.
Our culture is built on respect: clear communication with owners, careful edges near glass and landscaping, and quiet equipment choices for early morning pushes. We document every visit with photos and timestamps so you can show tenants, insurers, and city inspectors that you acted fast and kept public paths safe.
We greet tenants and managers with quick updates, not loud engines.
GPS dispatch plus before-and-after photos.
Documented safety checks on plows, blowers, and spreaders.
We match equipment to the block: compact plows for tight lanes, walk-behind blowers for long sidewalks, and hand crews for stairs and vestibules.
Attention to window wells, planters, and signage bases.
Drainage checked so melt runs away from doors and elevators.
Communication with building teams to time pushes with deliveries.
Follow-up sweeps in drifting or shaded areas.
City winters reward planning: we set triggers, map stacking, and assign backups so there is no guesswork when flakes fall. Your Ithaca, New York property stays open because we remove obstacles before they become hazards.
Storm desk tracks traffic patterns and reroutes in real time
Refreeze patrols on shaded sidewalks and garage ramps
Clear scope with options for zero-tolerance, per-push, or seasonal
We log lessons after each storm to make the next one smoother
Retail owner in Ithaca, New York: Customers walked in without dodging slush, and they sent photos before I arrived.
Clinic director in Ithaca, New York: ADA ramps were double-checked and photographed.
Property manager in Ithaca, New York: They worked around our delivery window and returned to reopen the crosswalk.
We start with a site walk to mark hydrants, drains, curb cuts, and stacking spots, capturing photos for the route book. We debrief after each storm to tighten the plan for the next one.
We move when your trigger hits or when ice risk demands pre-treat.
We use rubber edges near curbs and pavers, lift blades at transitions, and avoid piling near trees or signage.
We schedule refreeze checks overnight and at dawn.
We store logs so you can retrieve them anytime.
We guarantee arrival inside the window we set, with backup teams staged in Ithaca, New York so delays are rare. We carry reserve melt and fuel in the city to avoid supply hiccups when storms stack up. Communication is part of the promise: ETAs before arrival, on-site updates during the storm, and photo proof when we finish.
We protect the streetscape: rubber edges near pavers, cones on wet spots, and broom finishes by glass storefronts. Accessibility matters: ADA ramps, tactile strips, and crosswalk entries get double sweeps; handrails are brushed so grip stays strong; shaded stairs get extra melt during temperature swings. After the storm, we walk the site: draining melt away from doors, checking for thin ice near gutters, and tidying pile edges so the block looks cared for.
