Winter is approaching, and before you know it, you could have many feet of the white stuff blocking your drive and parking lot, and hurting your business. So what do you do?
You’ve got three choices:
- You could shovel it yourself. Some people find this to be a good workout. However, there have been reported incidents of heart attacks, usually following vigorous shoveling. If you’re not in the greatest shape and you go out and try to remove heavy, slushy snow, it can be dangerous to your health. So take great care. If you have a small drive and prefer to DIY when it comes to winter, be sure to get an ergonomic shovel. These are sold nearly everywhere and can make shoveling easier on your back and other muscles.
- You could get that snow blower. There’s no doubt that snow blowing can handle much more feet of snow than shoveling. The upfront cost is often high, but many believe it’s worth it. Remember, though, you also will have the cost of gas and maintenance for the snow blower.
- You can hire a snow removal service. The Veron Company is a full-service snow removal and preventative maintenance company, serving Marlborough, Massachusetts. With a snow removal service, you usually pay an upfront cost for the season. And most, if not all, customers find it invaluable.
When you hire a snow removal service, you want to make sure they have the most up-to-date equipment, so they can handle the aftermath of even the biggest storms.
The Veron Company has one of the largest fleets of snow control and removal vehicles in the area. We have front-end loaders, bobcats, backhoes, 6-wheel dumps, F550’s and, of course, snow blowers. Our equipment is so innovative it was featured in Lawn & Landscape magazine.
You also want to make sure the snow removal company comes immediately, so you’re not stranded for two or three days, while your business is closed and your profits tank. At The Veron Company, we’ll take care of the snow immediately. We also provide other important, related services:
Roof Clearing. It’s critical to clear the snow off your roof to prevent ice dams. An ice dam occurs when you have a snow-covered roof. Heat from the highest level of the building causes roof snow to melt. When this happens, it forms pools of water that can get inside the building and cause great damage. In addition, heavy snow packed on your roof could cause very serious structural damage, if not collapse the entire roof! But roof clearing can be dangerous. That’s why you need professionals, like those at The Veron Company, who have the equipment necessary to take care of the roof snow quickly and easily.
Walkway Clearing. It’s dangerous to have snow and ice on walkways, because you could have employees and customers slipping and falling on your property. And you don’t want to have to worry about lawsuits. So we’ll make sure the snow and ice are completely gone from all heavy traffic areas.
In addition, we use a product known as Advance® Ice Melter. It works fast, and less is needed to achieve maximum results. Using less also protects the health of your surrounding landscape.
Last but not least, we’ll haul the snow away. So you can enjoy the season without any of the hassles!
