Residential
Fairmont 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 Fairmont 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.
Local conditions
A few things about Fairmont specifically inform how service is scheduled.
Fairmont sits along the Monongahela River in north-central West Virginia's bituminous coal country, at an elevation and latitude that puts its snowfall solidly mid-pack for the state, well above Ohio Valley cities like Huntington and Parkersburg, but nowhere near the extremes of the state's eastern high country. The Monongahela divides Fairmont into east and west sections (historically the separate town of Palatine on the east side), and the river valley can hold cold, damp air that turns light snow into slicker-than-expected ice on the bridges connecting the two halves. I-79 running directly through the city means WVDOH's interstate priority routes get cleared first, which can leave older residential blocks waiting longer after a storm.
We regularly service routes near I-79, US Route 250, US Route 19, WV Route 310.

Ask about roof snow removal or ice dam service if that's a recurring issue at your property.
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.
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 serve properties near major highways or main roads?
Yes, we regularly service properties near I-79, US Route 250, US Route 19 and throughout the surrounding area.
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.
What trigger depth do you plow at?
Most customers set a 2-inch trigger, meaning we plow once 2 inches has accumulated and again as needed through the storm. You can set a different trigger when you sign up.
