No Snow Removal Contract
Mother Nature can be fickle and even the best forecasters aren’t always right. If a snow event turns into a major storm and predictions are way off, you don’t want to be left waiting for snow removal. Even then, you still may not get the quality snow removal you need. Most reputable snow removal companies are booked well in advance, and their priority is taking care of their contracted customers. Late or poor snow removal has repercussions for your tenants and customers, and it affects your image and your business. Set up a snow removal contract today and relax knowing that your commercial property will be safe and accessible no matter how much snow falls!
Damage to Your Property
Damage from snow plows or deicing chemicals is common and often due to relying on last-minute plow services. We visit the property and clearly mark any obstacles that could be hidden under snow: retaining walls, shrubs and plant beds, mailboxes, and steps. If you have a paver surface, we’ll take note of that and use only approved deicers to prevent etching and staining. We also take pride in training our crews to take care of your property as if it were their own!
Damage to Customers’ or Tenants’ Property
We take great care to avoid damaging personal property on your premises. You aren’t likely to get this level of care with last-minute, emergency snow removal services.
Unnecessary Maintenance
Snow and ice that is allowed to remain on the property can cause damage. When snow is pushed onto the landscape it becomes extremely heavy and dense, crushing shrubs and turf, which will cost you in landscape repairs or replacement. And where will all that snowmelt go once spring comes? It will run off or it will pool in low-lying areas of the landscape. This could be adjacent to the building, in the middle of a parking lot, or on a walkway. In any case, your tenants won’t appreciate having to leap over puddles or find a dry spot to park!
A Bad First Impression
Piles of dirty snow don’t do much for your image as a landlord or business owner. A simple solution is to contract for snow removal rather than just plowing. You will rarely have this option if you’re relying on last-minute plow services. Snow removal ensures that your business or residential building is always easily visible, accessible, and attractive.
Since most commercial property owners don’t employ full-time groundskeepers or have the equipment to quickly respond to snow events, make life easier by setting up a snow removal contract with GoldLeaf. We’re fast-responding, thorough, careful, reliable, and respectful.
Winter will soon be just a memory, but next winter will be here soon! Avoid long wait times and unwanted problems by scheduling your snow and ice management services with us today.
