Why it matters

Snow doesn’t just sit there. It creates risk.

Untreated ice is the number one slip-and-fall hazard on commercial property in the Northeast. A single storm left unmanaged can shut down a parking lot, delay deliveries, or put a customer on the ground, and the property owner, before the plow.

Roofs carry their own risk. A few feet of wet, packed snow adds thousands of pounds of load, and melt-refreeze cycles build ice dams that force water back under shingles and into ceilings.

ASR treats winter the same way we treat facades and gutters: as maintenance that protects the building, not a chore to get to eventually. We show up before the storm, work through it, and document every visit.

Scope of work

One crew, every surface that ices over

From the loading dock to the roofline, we cover the ground your team shouldn’t have to.

01

Parking lot & drive lane plowing

Full-lot plowing and pushback for retail centers, offices, and multi-family properties, sized to keep lanes and fire access open through the whole storm.

02

Sidewalks & entrances

Hand shoveling and snow-blowing for walkways, entries, and stairs, cleared to bare pavement so entrances stay ADA-accessible and safe underfoot.

03

De-icing & anti-icing

Pre-storm brine and salt treatments to stop ice from bonding to pavement, plus post-storm salting and sanding on walkways and high-traffic zones.

04

Roof snow & ice dam removal

Snow-load reduction on flat and low-slope roofs, and careful ice dam removal along eaves before backed-up water finds its way inside.

05

Snow hauling & relocation

When piled snow starts eating into parking capacity or sightlines, we load and haul it off-site so the lot stays fully usable.

06

24/7 storm monitoring

We track forecasts and dispatch crews on a trigger depth you set, so service starts automatically, no phone call needed at 3am.

How a storm plays out

Response is staged, not reactive

The same sequence runs whether it’s two inches or twenty, so nothing gets missed mid-storm.

STEP 01

Pre-treat

Brine goes down on lots and walkways 12–24 hours ahead of the storm so snow can’t bond to the surface.

STEP 02

Plow & shovel

Crews mobilize at your trigger depth and work continuously through the event, lots first, then walkways.

STEP 03

Salt & sand

Once surfaces are cleared, we apply post-storm treatment to entrances, ramps, and stairs to prevent refreeze.

STEP 04

Inspect & log

A final walkthrough confirms conditions and a documented service report lands in your inbox before we leave.

For your business

Keep the lot open. Keep the liability down.

A blocked lot or an icy entrance costs you customers and exposes you to claims. We work off a service-level agreement built around your hours, so plowing and salting happen before your doors open, not after.
