Snow Removal in Ely, NV
Residential and commercial plowing with 24/7 storm dispatch.
Snow is a regular part of the season in Ely, averaging an estimated 54" a year between November – April. Our dispatch model is built around that reality: forecast-driven routes, not next-day cleanup.
Services we provide in Ely
Residential
Driveway plowing and sidewalk clearing for Ely 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
Ely 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.
Local conditions
We route around a handful of local factors specific to Ely.
Ely is a high-desert crossroads town at 6,339 ft where US 6, US 50, and US 93 converge, and its elevation and interior-basin location make it consistently one of the coldest towns in Nevada, with roughly 215 mornings a year at or below freezing. Snow arrives steadily through the winter rather than in a few large Sierra-style storms, and the historic Aultman Street business district, anchored by the Hotel Nevada, requires regular clearing to keep foot traffic moving.
We regularly service routes near US Route 50, US Route 93, US Route 6, Aultman Street.

FAQs
Who do I contact if I have a service issue in Ely?
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.
Do local snow-removal rules apply in Ely?
Ely Municipal Code (EMC) 8-1-5 requires property owners/occupants to remove all snow that accumulates overnight from abutting sidewalks by 9:00 a.m. the following day. Rules can change: verify current requirements with your municipality.
Can I request one-time service instead of a season-long contract?
Yes, per-push service doesn't require a season commitment. A seasonal contract is also available if you'd rather lock in a flat rate for the winter.
Do you offer commercial and HOA snow removal in Ely?
Yes: parking lots, sidewalks, and ice control for commercial, HOA, and municipal properties in Ely, alongside residential service.
How quickly will a crew arrive after it starts snowing?
The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) posts R-1/R-2/R-3 chain-control levels on Sierra-influenced mountain highways (e.g., I-80, US-395, SR-431 Mt. Rose Highway) during winter storms; R-3 requires chains on all vehicles regardless of drivetrain. Routes are planned from the forecast so crews are already moving once your trigger depth is reached.
Do you offer ice management, not just plowing?
Yes: salting, sanding, and de-icing are available on their own or bundled with plowing, matched to surface type and temperature.
