    Brands the Gorilla Property Services network has worked with across Canada and the U.S.

    Across Northern Ontario winter sports such as skiing, snowboarding and skating serve as favorite Canadian pass-times. For as much joy as these activities bring, they also bring snow and ice. Thankfully, our North Bay snow removal and salting can help you manage it. There is a thin line between necessary and excessive when it comes to Canadian winters. Who doesn’t want to see blanket of white on the ground through the holidays? shuffling through up to your knees is a different story.

    Our Gorillas want to help let your community enjoy their golden years without having to stress over snow removal. The area of North Bay has a high number of retirees, according to Statistics Canada. After so many years of shovelling, let us do it for you! Gorilla technicians are prepared to take on any challenge. We will do the heavy lifting on your home, business or strata property.

    North Bay Snow Removal and Salting: Making Your Longest Season, Your Best Season

    Our Gorillas understand the importance of ice to Canadian communities, especially North Bay, who has given us one of our most popular winter activities, Ringette. We promise to leave the ice where it should be – on the rinks.

    With ongoing precipitation all year and an average yearly snowfall of nearly 23 feet, North Bay snow removal and salting takes care to expect the unexpected. How do we do this? With constant vigilance. Our Gorilla technicians monitor weather reports daily and nightly in order to be first on the scene where we are needed. The days of waking up to a mountain of snow covering your vehicle or sidewalk are gone with the help of our services.

    Common questions

    Snow Clearing — answered

    What is included in a Gorilla subscription?

    Per-storm clearing of driveway, walkways, and sidewalk (per scope), proactive de-icer application before stacked-storm cycles, medical and senior priority sequencing, and per-storm completion notifications. Service is documented per event so you have a record.

    How much should I expect to pay for snow clearing near me?

    Pricing depends on subscription vs per-visit, driveway size, and whether sidewalk and walkways are included. Subscription for typical single-driveway runs in the lower thousands per winter (covers all snowfall in an average season). Per-visit adds up faster across a heavy winter.

    What about an exceptional snowfall β€” can you keep up?

    Yes, with realistic timing. A 30+cm dump extends routes from 12-hour to 24-hour completion target. Medical and senior-flagged properties are prioritized. We send proactive timing updates when storms exceed normal severity.

    How do you handle ice storms differently?

    Different protocol from snow. Pre-event we apply liquid brine to reduce ice bonding. Post-event we use mechanical breaking plus targeted chemistry rather than plowing (which damages surfaces under hard ice). Major ice events sometimes need multiple visits.

    Do you clear my sidewalk too?

    If included in your subscription scope, yes. Most municipalities require homeowners to clear public sidewalks adjacent to their property within 12-24 hours of snowfall. Most subscription clients include the sidewalk to handle that obligation reliably.

    What ice melt do you use, and is it safe for pets and concrete?

    For most residential we use calcium magnesium acetate (CMA) and calcium chloride blends rather than rock salt. CMA is safer for pet paws, lawns, and concrete. Rock salt damages concrete (especially newer pours), kills shrubs at the bed line, and irritates dog paws.

    How fast do you clear after a snowfall?

    For subscription clients, our standard target is to complete the route within 24 hours of the storm ending β€” most routes finish faster. Heavy storms (over 30cm) extend the target to 36 hours with medical and senior-flagged properties prioritized.

    Should I clear snow from my roof?

    For most modern homes built to code, no β€” design snow load accounts for it. Older homes with shed-roof additions, sunrooms, or porches may need clearing during exceptional snow years. Watch for sagging, doors that bind, and ceiling cracks.

    Will de-icer damage my concrete or perennials?

    Done right, no. CMA at correct application rates does not damage cured concrete or established lawn. Rock salt and aggressive calcium chloride are more damaging β€” they pit fresh concrete and damage perennials. We use lawn-safe and concrete-safe chemistry by default.

    Do you clear during the storm or only after?

    After the storm in most cases. Mid-storm clearing on residential driveways is inefficient β€” within an hour the cleared surface has the same accumulation as before. We offer mid-storm clearing for commercial operational needs.
