Front Entrance Snow Removal

What This Service Involves

The front entrance is where most slip injuries happen during a Puget Sound freeze, since packed snow on the threshold turns to glaze overnight. We clear the landing, the approach path, and the transition where the walk meets the door so there is no hidden lip of ice. This matters especially for the frequent package deliveries that continue right through winter storms in the region. We treat the finished surface so the first person out the door in the morning has solid footing.

Benefits

Removes the ice glaze that forms on shaded thresholds; keeps deliveries and visitors arriving safely; eliminates the hidden lip where walk meets doorstep; protects family members leaving in early darkness; treated to hold traction through the overnight freeze

Our Process

1) We assess the landing, approach, and door threshold; 2) Crews clear the full entry approach to bare surface; 3) We remove packed ice at the door transition; 4) We apply an entry-safe deicer to prevent morning refreeze

What Affects the Cost

Size of the entry landing and approach; number of steps into the transition; shade and exposure of the doorway; packed ice requiring extra removal; type of deicer used near the entrance
