Porch Snow Removal

What This Service Involves

Northwest porches often collect wind-driven snow along the outer edge even when the roof keeps the center dry, creating a deceptive strip of ice at the step-off. We clear the porch deck, the outer lip, and the transition to the stairs so there is no surprise slick spot. Wood porches common on the region's craftsman and farmhouse homes need careful clearing to avoid splintering the boards. We finish with a product that will not corrode fasteners or stain painted decking.

Benefits

Removes wind-driven snow that gathers at porch edges; prevents the hidden slick strip at the step-off; protects wood decking from splintering; keeps the main social entry usable; uses fastener-safe traction material

Our Process

1) We evaluate how snow is drifting onto the porch; 2) Crews clear the deck and outer edge to bare surface; 3) We address the transition to the porch steps; 4) We apply a wood-safe, non-staining traction treatment

What Affects the Cost

Porch size and layout; wood versus composite decking; degree of wind exposure driving drift; number of step transitions; choice of fastener-safe deicer
