Roy Holiday Snow Removal
We keep Western Washington homes and businesses accessible through Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s when a Cascade cold snap dumps snow on the busiest travel days of the year.
Holiday Snow Removal in Roy means clearing driveways, walks and parking areas so people can get in and out on days when offices and schools are closed. Washington Snow Removal handles this work from our Bothell yard. We are licensed, bonded and insured.
Roy gets an average of 6.2 in of snow per season, so big storms are rare. When one hits on a holiday, or ice forms overnight, you need a plan. Call 206-809-9669 to talk through your property and the equipment it needs.
