Commercial Lots and Storefronts
Seasonal snow contracts for small commercial lots and shops, priced by lot size, entrances and walk length. We take smaller lots, not large plazas. Every proposal starts with a site walk.
Typical season range: $4,000 to $10,000. Estimated range, not a quote. Final price after a site walk.
For: Owners and managers of small offices, retail strips, restaurants and professional storefronts.
What is included
- Lot and drive aisles plowed
- Entrances, walks and ADA ramps cleared
- Salt or sand on a written trigger
- Snow pushed to agreed piles, not into parking stalls where possible
- Time-stamped log and photos
Trigger depth, response and salting
Trigger. We plow at 2 in of accumulation. Seasonal contracts state the trigger in writing; some properties choose a 1 in trigger for entrances or a higher one for large lots.
Response. Our target is to start within about 4 hours after snowfall ends, serving seasonal contracts first. That is a target, not a guarantee, and storms that run long may get a mid-storm pass at a stated depth. Contracts spell out the response commitment before you sign.
Salting. Salt or sand is a separate line item: roughly $120 to $250 per application (draft range) depending on the property, or a flat seasonal add-on. We salt after clearing, on request or per a written trigger such as a forecast freeze.
Documentation for liability
Each visit is logged with arrival and departure times and before and after photos, so a board or manager has a time-stamped record if a slip-and-fall claim is ever made. Logs are shared on request or by monthly summary.

Questions
Can you have the lot clear before we open?
We can plan around your opening time and discuss an overnight route during a site walk. Exact commitments depend on the storm and are written into the contract.
Do you haul snow off site?
Not at present. We push to agreed piles. For large lots that need hauling, we will say so honestly.
