Snow Removal in Schenectady, NY

Services we provide in Schenectady
Local conditions
A few things about Schenectady specifically inform how service is scheduled.
Schenectady sits in the Mohawk Valley just west of Albany and shares the Capital Region's roughly 59-60 inch annual snowfall normal (borrowed here from Albany's confirmed 1991-2020 NWS normal, the nearest sourced station), driven mainly by Alberta clippers and nor'easters rather than lake effect. City code sets an unusually early sidewalk deadline, clear by 10 a.m. the morning after a snowfall, tighter than the 24-hour standard common elsewhere in upstate New York.
We regularly service routes near State Street (NY-5), Erie Boulevard, Union Street, I-890, Broadway.

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.
Residential
Schenectady 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 Schenectady 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.
