Retail and Big Box Snow Removal in Seattle
A store loses sales the moment its lot looks unsafe. We plan every retail site around opening time, foot traffic and slip-and-fall exposure.
What makes these sites different
The problems we plan around
Opening-time deadlines
Lots, entrances and cart corrals have to be clear before staff arrive, not by mid-morning. We stage crews overnight so the first customer finds bare pavement.
Slip-and-fall liability
Most retail claims start within 30 feet of the door. We treat entrances, ramps and ADA stalls first and log each pass with photos.
Refreeze through the day
Seattle storms often melt by noon and refreeze at dusk. We return for scheduled retreatment instead of waiting for a call.
Multiple locations
Chains need the same standard everywhere. One agreement, one dispatch contact and one report covers every Seattle store.
How we run a storm
- Forecast watch. We track forecasts and road temperatures from the first cold snap and confirm triggers with your store contact
- Pre-treat. Brine goes down on lots and walkways 12 to 24 hours ahead when a freeze is likely
- Overnight clearing. Entrances, fire lanes and drive aisles are cleared before open, then stalls
- Daytime retreatment. Crews recheck entrances and ramps through business hours as conditions change
- Storm report. You receive timestamped photos and a service log for every visit
What your contract should include
- Open-by time written for each store
- Priority order: entrances, ADA stalls, fire lanes, drive aisles
- Retreatment schedule during business hours
- Stacking areas that keep stalls open
- Photo log for insurance and claims
Questions we hear most
Can you clear before we open at 7 a.m.?
Yes. Open-by times are written into each site's scope and crews are routed backward from them.
Do you handle sidewalks in front of the store?
Yes. Entrances and public sidewalks are part of our walkway service, cleared by hand crews with snow blowers and treated with deicer.
How do you price multiple stores?
Each site is priced on its own scope, then rolled into one agreement and one monthly invoice.
