Summer days might have property owners outside, busy with grass cutting and lawn care but as temperatures take a dip, the needs of outdoor spaces change. Waking up to find roads and sidewalks, or your steps or driveway buried in snow is just about the most unpleasant surprise that a property owner can have but it is a reality for many Canadians.
Keeping up with winter can be tough but with the right help, it does not need to be a chore. A buildup of snow and ice can lead to slips, trips and falls but our Gorillas can help! Professional Hamilton snow removal and salting can help to create and maintain safe and inviting spaces for tenants, guests and customers.
Conquering Rough Terrain
Canadian winters are unpredictable. What might start out as a mild day can quickly turn into a frigid evening. While a warm afternoon might be a nice break from the cold, it can mean big trouble for exterior spaces. For property owners throughout Ontario, property maintenance in winter means dragging yourself out of bed first thing in the morning to shovel and salt – but it doesn’t have to be this way!
Shovelling might seem like a simple enough task but it does not take much to end up in the E.R.. One wrong move can result in sprains, strains or a pulled back. Calling professional salting and snow removal services can save the injury, aggravation and cost of pain killers! Whether you are seeking out winter services following a snow storm or are seeking out regularly scheduled maintenance, our Gorillas can help!
Public works institutions might cover public areas like road ways, government buildings and communal spaces but snow clearing around private property is the responsibility of owners and management. Unless you have a snow plow on hand and all the time in the world, maintaining a commercial property can be daunting and that is why you should have an expert in your corner!
A freshly shovelled walkway not only looks great, it can help to save you money. More than being a bit inconvenient, a cluttered walkway can prevent everyday services, like package and mail delivery. Missing a bill can result in unexpected fines. There are also by-laws in place to ensure that walkways are passable, and not keeping them free of snow and ice can result in heavy fines – and that is not even considering the liability issues associated with potential injury.
Hamilton Snow Removal & Salting: How We Work
There are a few tried and tested ways to carry out a proper snow clearing and salting service but the best policy is to always be prepared! Monitoring weather patterns allows our Gorillas to plan ahead to schedule, organize and treat outdoor spaces.
Knowing the quirks, dips and grooves of your property is an important part of proper maintenance and that means local snow removal companies should understand the needs of their communities. Weather changes at the drop of a hat, which makes it difficult to plan ahead for melting and re-freezing. By keeping track of incoming temperature drops, and working with our clients, Gorillas can salt your space in the most effective way.
Sprinkling a bit of salt here and there across your sidewalks or driveways might seem like an obvious solution but it is not as efficient as you might think. Luckily, our Gorillas have plenty of practice in making the most out of our salt supplies.
Our Gorillas know that schedules fluctuate and that is why we offer emergency call-out services 24 hours a day. If you need to have your snow cleared away, but it falls within the late night hours, our Gorillas are masters of discretion. Maintenance services can be carried out quietly by hand or made to fit larger areas during the daylight hours. Please contact one of our experienced Gorillas to hear more about our services and get a free quote for your home or commercial space.
