We get it. Snow melts, you won’t be going outside, so why even bother with snow removal? Well, the fact of the matter is that snow removal is not an issue of aesthetics, and waiting for the snow to melt can have disastrous results! Below are a few of the many reasons why snow removal can not and must not wait!
Bodily Safety: Snow and ice can create dangerous conditions on walkways, driveways, and other areas around your home or business. By removing snow and putting down salt or other de-icers, you can help ensure that nobody falls victim to a slip, which often leads to serious injuries.
Water Damage: If snow is allowed to melt and refreeze, it can create a damming effect on your home or business’s foundation. This can lead to serious water damage that can be costly to repair.
Fire Hazard (Seriously): Snow left around your property can trap flammable materials such as leaves, debris, and even wood piles. When those materials get wet from the melting snow and then freeze again, they become further insulated which makes them perfect kindling for an electrical or otherwise-caused fire.
On average, 100 people die of cardiac-related incidents while shoveling snow every single year in the United States. In fact, according to a 17-year-long study, as cited in USA Today, 1,647 cardiac-related deaths occurred as a result of shoveling snow. Lincoln, Nebraska can get a lot of snow, usually just on par with the national average, which means this is going to be a problem you will face. Shoveling is particularly risky if you live a mostly sedentary lifestyle and you are over the age of 45. In other words, don’t be a hero! Call the pros at Summit who are trained and prepared to take on the snow!
Other risks associated with shoveling snow include, but are not limited to:
DIY plowing is not recommended for anyone who doesn’t have the proper experience or equipment. Simply putting a low-quality plow onto your truck does not make you an experienced (or even good) snow removal specialist. Without training and knowledge of city ordinances, you could end up causing property damage, paying fines, or worse, you could hit a passing car or pedestrian. So, we implore our neighbors one more time… don’t do it!
When it comes to snow removal, you can trust Summit! Our team of experienced professionals have the expertise and equipment necessary to safely and quickly remove snow from your property. We are dedicated to providing quality service and affordable rates for all types of jobs! Call Summit today for the swiftest snow removal in Lincoln!
Although we would love to be able to guarantee a 7am arrival time, it would be deceptive advertising. We have no control over when the snow will start or end! Obviously, the later the snow starts, the later we start. We are prepared to dispatch crews 24/7 no matter the time during each snowstorm. If a storm is ending at 1am, that is when we begin clearing snow. It is safe to assume that your driveway will be cleared within 8 hours or less from the time the snow ended. If you are at the beginning of the route, it will be much sooner. Rest assured, if your driveway is not clear before you leave to work, it will certainly be cleared by the time you get home!
We automatically clear your driveway after every 1” storm, no need to call. We typically wait until it is done snowing and then dispatch out our crews.
Nope! We provide unlimited snow removal at 1” all season long no matter how much or how many times it snows for the same flat rate!
Although we don’t hand shovel sidewalks and front steps as part of our seasonal driveway contracts in order to keep our pricing affordable for everyone, we do offer it as an additional service. After the snow has ended, a separate crew from the tractor will visit your home to shovel directly in front of your garage door, the city sidewalks, and your steps/front porch area. This is an add on service and not included in the driveway service. Availability is limited so be sure to signup early and save your spot on our route!
Unfortunately, we cannot provide service to your driveway if it is made of pavers, interlocking stone, or stamped concrete. We do not want to risk scratching your concrete or peeling up the pavers. This is dangerous both to your property and to our equipment.
This is extremely uncommon in Lincoln. However, if there is a water valve in the driveway it is the responsibility of the homeowner to make sure the cap is not protruding and is flush with the concrete. You will need to contact the City or a plumber to have it lowered to the level of the driveway. If the cap is not flush with the concrete, it likely will get picked off by the snow blower and shot into the lawn. Please ensure this is taken care of prior to the first snow. Once the snow arrives and covers the surface, the issue is not apparent and can’t be seen. We do not want to subject our equipment to this, and the City may charge you to repair in the spring.
Believe it or not, your own car puts more pressure on the driveway than our tractors! The large surface area of the tractor tires evenly distributes the weight more than your car does. The driveway markers help us find your home in the middle of the night and then stay within the boundaries of the concrete and not go on the grass. Snow blowing with a tractor is one of the best methods in the industry at the moment for clearing snow from your driveway!
Surprisingly, no! Our tractors are actually quieter than a commercial leaf blower. Plus, we are in and out of your driveway in 2-3 minutes, minimizing any disturbance to you or your neighbors. You probably won’t even realize we were there!
We price our services based on the width of your driveway. Instead of measuring the exact size of your driveway, we simply base if off standard sizes. If your driveway is one car wide it is a single, two cars wide it is a double, etc. Driveway length is not usually taken into consideration unless it is abnormally long. Pricing starts as low as $349 for the unlimited snow removals at 1” for the entire winter season.
This is a seasonal service contract. Payment for the season is due in full prior to our first visit to your property.
Our drivers are required to report any damages caused to your property on their tablets and to the office at the time of the incident. This information is logged for repair in the spring unless it requires more urgency. Exclusions to this would include any and all items left in the immediate work area of our equipment (the driveway). Examples to this exclusion include: recycling bins, garbage cans, flower pots/planters, basketball nets, extension cords, children’s toys, and downspouts. Although our office or driver will usually report damage directly to you at the time of the incident (during daytime hours), we always encourage you to verify with the office the day after the snow storm if you have any concerns.
Absolutely. Our office is staffed Mon-Fri 8am to 5pm. During storms and overnight hours, we have our office staff and our 24/7 answering service available to take any requests. However, the best way to contact us is via email during a storm. This will help get the fastest response.
If you move mid-season, we can transfer the service agreement to the new owners of the home for the remainder of the season. If your new home is still in our service area, we can transfer your service to the new home. However, we cannot offer a refund if the new owners do not wish to use our service or if you move outside of our service area.
