Apartment & HOA Snow Removal across Waukegan and Lake County

A multi-unit property is the hardest kind of lot to clear well, because it never empties. Residents park overnight, cars stay put for days, and the aisles have to stay passable for garbage trucks, delivery vans and an ambulance if it comes to that.

The workable approach is staged: drive lanes and the emergency route first so the property is never closed, then sections of parking as they open up, then walks, entries and the mail and dumpster routes. Properties that can organise a move-your-car notice get cleared far more completely, and it is worth setting that up with the board or the management office before December.

Walks matter more here than almost anywhere else, because residents walk between buildings at all hours and a packed, refrozen path between two entrances is where a fall happens.

Apartment & HOA Snow Removal questions

How do you clear parking when residents never move their cars?

In stages, working sections as they open, with the drive lanes and emergency route held clear throughout. A scheduled move-your-car notice gets the property properly cleared, and we will work with the office to set one up.

Who do you bill, the association or the management company?

Either. Most HOA work is billed to the association or its management company on a seasonal agreement.

What area do you cover?

Waukegan and Lake County, Illinois, including Gurnee, Zion, North Chicago, Libertyville, Mundelein, Grayslake, Vernon Hills, Lake Forest, Highland Park, Deerfield, Buffalo Grove, the Round Lake and Fox Lake areas and the northern towns up to the state line.

Do you take commercial and residential work?

Both. Most of the work is commercial: parking lots, multi-unit properties, retail and office. Residential driveways are taken on per-storm and seasonal arrangements as route capacity allows.

How do you charge for snow removal?

Three ways. A fixed seasonal contract, a per-push rate billed per storm, or per job for one-off work like hauling and emergency call-outs. Salting is either bundled into a seasonal rate or billed per application.
