Can there be a hybrid of the two? One or the other may be a better fit for your needs, combining the two can also help to create a win – win situation. Ask us about some options and benefits.

Some contracts cap visits at a certain number and extra charges apply after. Contracts can include the application of de icing products while others may charge extra for that service. Our contracts do not have a cap and included all de icing products so you are not surprised with extra billing.

To reduce costs you can look at a higher trigger depth, however this will increase your risk of slip and fall incidents. Our standard trigger depth is an inch but can be adjusted to fit your needs.

The Snow Patrol will work with you to develop your snow map that will be an appendix to your contract. All areas are clearly identified and all Snow Patrol personel have access to this information through our app based time tracking software.

A small limited fleet can cause issues in especially heavy snow falls. In the snow business equipment breaks, in small fleet this can mean your property doesn’t get serviced. At the Snow Patrol we have the one of the largest, most current and versatile fleets of equipment around. We have a full time mechanic on staff available 24/7 to address breakdowns as well a comprehensive equipment maintenance program, all to ensure that our challenges done become your problems.

The world of slip and fall lawsuits is more prevalent than others. Ensuring proper insurance policies and documented Health and Safety programs are in place should be a top priority. Our company adheres to the ANSI approved industry standards for snow and ice management as well as SIMA best practices

All of our employees go through our online and practical training matrix and get lots of seat time prior to the first snow flake. The Snow Patrol will do a full “dry run” in the dark at the beginning of November. This is done to familiarize our teams with the flow of work and your property and its challenges without the pressure of the first snow fall.

A proactive email is sent whenever we are expecting snow or ice to explain our plan and help provide you with expectations. We have the latest technology that allows you to login to view our service history in real time. If you have a service complaint you can log an online snow ticket. This catalogues and stores complaints for future use if needed. Finally choose a provider who understands your goal and needs. Every client is different, facing different challenges every day. At the Snow Patrol we will do our best to understand your needs and work our hardest to constantly improve to help you reach your short and long term goals. Let’s have a conversation.
