Who We Are
We specialize in dense Winnetka, Illinois corridors, mixed-use blocks, towers, and retail streets. We pre-walk sites to tag hydrants, bike racks, planters, and curb cuts so nothing gets damaged. Our crews train on low-noise operations to respect neighbors during early mobilizations.
Communication is constant: you get mobilization alerts, in-progress snapshots, and completion timestamps. If refreeze risk is high, we schedule overnight passes to keep entrances safe for the morning rush.
Services
Plowing & Snow Push
Curb lanes, alleys, docks, and approaches are cleared using compact plows that navigate tight turns. Stacks are placed to keep signage and pedestrian sight lines open.
De-Icing & Anti-Icing
We pre-treat concrete with brine and hit shady stoops or slopes with calibrated melts. Material logs track usage for sustainability and budget control.
Sidewalk & Stair Care
Hand crews clear steps, vestibules, ADA ramps, bike corrals, and crosswalk entries with shovels and brooms. Fine melts keep landscaping protected.
Snow Relocation
When piles grow, we relocate or haul them during off-peak hours to keep access clear.
Refreeze Patrols
Overnight checks catch meltwater refreezing near drains, awnings, and north-facing walls.
Our Process
Before snow, we map your block, mark hazards, stage materials, and set update schedules. During snow, we run loops hitting entrances, ramps, docks, and crosswalk entries repeatedly. After snow, we scrape tight, open drains, check fire lanes, and treat for refreeze.
Documentation: every visit is logged with times, materials, and photos so you have proof for boards, insurers, or city inspectors.
