Snow Removal in Missoula, MT
Residential and commercial plowing with 24/7 storm dispatch.

Response time
Response within 1 hour during a storm. That response time applies day or night; storms don't wait for business hours, and neither do we.
Local conditions
We route around a handful of local factors specific to Missoula.
Missoula sits in a flat valley at the convergence of five mountain ranges and three rivers (the bed of ancient Glacial Lake Missoula), west of the Continental Divide. That position lets it receive milder, moister Pacific air than eastern Montana, giving milder winter temperatures but more persistent valley cloud cover and inversions that can trap cold air and haze for days.
We regularly service routes near Interstate 90, US-93, US-12, Reserve Street, Brooks Street.
Local rules & timing
Missoula Municipal Code § 12.16.030 requires sidewalks cleared by 9:00 a.m. the morning after a snowfall (noon on weekends/holidays); shoveled snow must go onto the property, not into the street, bike lane, or parking lane.
Rules can change, so verify current requirements with your municipality.
Residential
Driveway plowing and sidewalk clearing for Missoula homeowners, with a trigger depth you set once. The same crew learns your property's layout over the season, so plowing follows the same pattern every storm: no re-explaining where the edges are or where to pile snow.
Commercial
Missoula 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.

Who do I contact if I have a service issue in Missoula?
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.
Is Missoula prone to ice dams or roof snow load issues?
Missoula sits in a flat valley at the convergence of five mountain ranges and three rivers (the bed of ancient Glacial Lake Missoula), west of the Continental Divide. That position lets it receive milder, moister Pacific air than eastern Montana, giving milder winter temperatures but more persistent valley cloud cover and inversions that can trap cold air and haze for days. Ask about roof snow removal or ice dam service if that's a recurring issue at your property.
How quickly will a crew arrive after it starts snowing?
The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) maintains roughly 25,000 lane-miles of highway with about 700 plow operators and 550 snowplows statewide; Interstates 90 and 15 and other high-volume routes get priority plowing over rural secondary roads. Montana does not have a blanket chain requirement for passenger vehicles, but MDT can impose 'Requirement 1' or 'Requirement 2' traction/chain rules for commercial trucks during severe storms. Routes are planned from the forecast so crews are already moving once your trigger depth is reached.
