Local conditions
We route around a handful of local factors specific to Ketchikan.
Ketchikan's maritime Southeast Alaska climate makes it the least snowy of the Alaska cities on this list (most winter precipitation falls as rain rather than snow), but the town's famously steep hillside streets and boardwalks mean even modest snow or freezing rain creates real hazards. Ketchikan International Airport is on a separate island reached only by ferry, adding a layer to winter-weather logistics that road-connected towns don't face.
We regularly service routes near South Tongass Highway, North Tongass Highway, Water Street.
Residential
Ketchikan 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
Parking lot plowing, sidewalk clearing, and ice control for Ketchikan properties that can't afford downtime. Lots are zoned so drive lanes and entrances clear first, then the rest of the lot, on a trigger depth tied to your operating hours.
Response time
Response within 1 hour during a storm. Routes are planned from the forecast so crews are already moving once your trigger depth is reached, rather than waiting for a call.
