Snow Removal in Juneau, AK
Residential and commercial plowing with 24/7 storm dispatch.
Winters in Juneau bring an estimated 87.6" of snow most years, typically October – April. Routes are planned before the first flake falls, so driveways and lots stay usable through the whole storm, not just after it clears.
Services we provide in Juneau
Local conditions
A few things about Juneau specifically inform how service is scheduled.
Juneau's subarctic-maritime climate (milder than its latitude would suggest, thanks to the Pacific) brings heavy total precipitation and substantial snowfall (sources cite roughly 88–94in/yr depending on the period measured), concentrated especially in January and March. The surrounding Coast Mountains and nearby Juneau Icefield intensify snowfall at higher elevations well beyond what falls in the downtown core. Juneau has no road connection to the rest of Alaska or the Lower 48.
We regularly service routes near Egan Drive (Glacier Highway), Douglas Highway, Mendenhall Loop Road.
Response time
Response within 1 hour during a storm. Response times in Juneau are the same for a 2 a.m. storm as a 2 p.m. one; dispatch doesn't wait for daylight.
Local rules & timing
City and Borough of Juneau Code 62.15.010 makes property owners, landlords, and tenants responsible for clearing snow and ice from sidewalks and driveways; CBJ 72.24.075 separately prohibits placing snow or ice on a public street, sidewalk, or parking space in a way that impedes safe travel.
Rules can change, so verify current requirements with your municipality.

Residential
Juneau homeowners set a trigger depth once at sign-up, and every storm that reaches it gets serviced the same way for the rest of the season. Per-push or seasonal billing is available depending on how you'd rather budget.
Commercial
Juneau commercial lots are serviced on a trigger depth tied to your operating hours, not a fixed daily route, so the property is clear before you open rather than sometime during the day.
FAQs
Do you serve properties near major highways or main roads?
Yes, we regularly service properties near Egan Drive (Glacier Highway), Douglas Highway, Mendenhall Loop Road and throughout the surrounding area.
Do I need to sign a contract?
No: per-push service is available without a season-long commitment, though a seasonal contract is available if you'd rather lock in a flat rate.
Will plowing damage my driveway or landscaping?
Every property is scouted before the season to mark edges, drainage, and hardscaping, and blades are set to avoid gouging asphalt or concrete.
Who do I contact if I have a service issue in Juneau?
Dispatch can be reached directly for a status check or service issue during an active storm: see the phone number at the top of this page.
How quickly will a crew arrive after it starts snowing?
Alaska DOT&PF assigns roads a winter-maintenance priority from Level 1 through 5; Priority 1 highways are targeted for clearing within about 12 hours of a storm, down to Priority 5 routes (e.g., the Denali Highway) that receive no winter maintenance and are effectively closed for the season. Because many Alaska communities in this dataset (Juneau, Sitka, Kodiak) are not connected to the contiguous road network, winter road policy and municipal snow codes are set independently by each borough/city rather than through one uniform statewide chain law. Routes are planned from the forecast so crews are already moving once your trigger depth is reached.
Can you handle a multi-day storm in Juneau?
Yes, routes are re-checked and re-dispatched as accumulation continues through multi-day events, with crews rotating on extended storms.
