HOA Snow Removal

Each Home Owners Association for a series of residences is different, and therefore have different snow removal policies. Regardless of whether or not you’re a resident looking for snow removal in an HOA or lead an HOA and want snow removal for the homes in your community, you’ve come to the right place.

The way HOA homes and communities work might be a little complicated to understand or different than what you’re used to. Homes in HOA communities are provided with snow removal in common areas, such as roads, intersections, and other places. However, the residents of the community are responsible for snow removal in their driveway, private sidewalks, and other areas where snow’s present.

We provide two different types of snow removal support when it comes to HOA communities. We can provide your home and the area around your home with snow removal, so you don’t have to worry about slipping, sticking, or clearing your driveway ever again!

We also offer our services to HOA boards directly. In this case, we service all the common areas in an HOA community according to that community’s specific rules and regulations for snow maintenance. This may include the snow removal itself, along with salting/sanding the roads and making sure they’re drivable and clear in harsh conditions.

Snow Removal For Municipalities

Most snow removal companies don’t have all-inclusive services when it comes to snow removal for municipalities. However, Burns Tree & Lawn is different. Here’s more info about our snow removal for municipalities.

A municipality is simply an urban town or county that has some type of self-governing agency residing in it. It’s because of these self-governing properties that these towns might need to select snow removal services (or use their own) for their roads, alleyways, and other common areas where residents frequently drive.

As we mentioned earlier, many snow removal companies get a little iffy when it comes to providing their services to municipalities. Not us, though! We’re more than happy to work out a working relationship with any municipality in the areas we service. Not only does this keep us warm and busy during the cold winter season, but it allows us to help serve more people and ultimately keep them safe!

Snow Removal For Churches

We understand that it’s frustrating to not be able to access your place of worship because of a snow storm, which is why we provide professional snow removal services for churches.

Just like our other snow removal services, we’re not afraid to go out in big storms or slippery weather. That’s why we’re here! The typical church parking lots we’ve serviced in the past aren’t difficult for us to manage at all – and even if they were difficult to remove snow from, we love a good challenge. 

Additionally, we never discriminate against a place of worship by refusing services. We believe in providing the best possible snow removal to whomever needs it, regardless of your religion. 

So if you’re looking for excellent snow removal services and you run a church, give us a call! We’d love to work out a deal with you and provide you with our expert, quick, and best of all safe, snow removal services.

A Quick Note On De-Icing

We want to take a brief moment to talk about de-icing, and how that process works. With snow removal, all you have to do is use a shovel, plow, or blower, and the snow goes away. However, ice works a little differently. Even if you remove the ice, because of the wet area and freezing temperatures, it can grow back. Here are some common combatants used in the fight against ice in the winter.

How It Works

De-icing is simpler than it seems! Essentially, the ice-melting agent that’s placed on the ground helps lower the freezing point of water from 32 degrees Fahrenheit to far below freezing. It’s far more common to see around-freezing temperatures in the winter than extremely cold temperatures in the winter. By lowering the freezing point to extreme temperatures, the water simply doesn’t turn into ice! Cool, huh?

Common Types of De-Icers

There are many different types of de-icing agents used. Here are some of the most widely available ones.

Rock salt, or sodium chloride, is the most common type. If you’ve ever heard loud crunching noises when you pull into a parking lot or maybe even your driveway, it’s likely rock salt. The lowest melting temp for rock salt is typically 15 degrees Fahrenheit.

Magnesium chloride is a little different because it comes in the form of pellets, liquid, or flakes. Typically, it’s used in a blend instead of by itself because of its extremely low melting temp (-10 degrees Fahrenheit).

Calcium chloride can also be bought as pellets, liquid, or flakes. It’s also used in a blend. In fact, its low melting temp is up to -20 degrees Fahrenheit, making it the most ‘hardy’ of the bunch.

It’s important for snow removal companies to be very careful when selecting a type of de-icer. Because different chemicals are used in each de-icer, they’ll react differently on specific types of pavement. The last thing a snow removal company wants to do is put down de-icer that tears up the roads.

Why We’re The Best Reliable Snow Removal Services

There are plenty of reasons why you should choose us for snow plowing. One of the most important is that we are experts. We understand how to perform snow removal on various driveway tops. The last thing you want is an inexperienced company to perform snow removal. They can completely tear up your driveway and make matters even worse.

Additionally, we’re one of the few companies that will come to your door no matter how the weather is. We know that sometimes, you need to leave the house even when the weather is bad outside. That is why you can rely on us to help you get on the road.

Another benefit of using our residential and commercial snow removal is that you can limit any physical injuries you might receive by slipping on the snow and ice. A lot of accidents can happen in the driveway. Our removal service keeps your driveway safe. When you step onto it, you will have a better chance of reaching your front door without slipping.

Finally, a plowed driveway looks professional. Whether you want to entertain or impress, keeping your driveway clear of snow and ice creates an attractive appearance.
