Common questions
Which areas do you cover?
Commercial properties across Sussex, Passaic, Bergen, Morris and Warren counties in northern New Jersey. Crews and salt are staged at locations across all five counties, with salt bins at many client sites, and crews are alerted more than an hour before snowfall starts. Multi-site portfolios are welcome.
When should I sign a snow contract?
Summer or early fall. Routes are built around the properties signed earliest, salt is cheaper when bought before the season, and the pre-season site walkthrough can actually happen in daylight. By November, good contractors are mostly full.
My snow contractor didn't show up. Can you bail me out?
Often, yes. Broken-down trucks and contractors who stop answering the phone are exactly why we run a commercial emergency dispatch. Crews and salt are staged across all five counties, so if there's capacity near you we can often reach a commercial property within the same storm. Contract clients keep their route positions; emergency work fills the gaps. Call (973) 459-0074 with the property type, address and what needs to open first.
