Garage Entrance Snow Removal

What This Service Involves

The strip of pavement directly outside the garage door is where snow gets compacted by tires and freezes into a stubborn ridge in Western Washington's freeze-thaw cycles. We clear that apron down to the surface so the overhead door has clearance to open and close without jamming. On sloped drives, this transition is also where cars lose grip, so we scrape and grit it thoroughly. Keeping the garage mouth clear protects the door mechanism and gives you a solid launch point onto the drive.

Benefits

Frees the overhead door to open without jamming; removes the compacted ridge that forms at the threshold; restores tire traction at the sloped transition; protects the door track and mechanism; provides a solid launch point onto the driveway

Our Process

1) We inspect the apron and garage door clearance; 2) Crews break up the compacted ridge at the threshold; 3) We clear the apron to bare pavement for door travel; 4) We grit the transition so tires find grip pulling out

What Affects the Cost

Width of the garage apron; depth of compacted ice at the door; slope of the transition to the drive; number of bays to clear; traction material spread at the threshold

Best Time of Year

Reserve service in early winter so your garage apron is handled from the season's first freeze.
