Large Supply of Salt – Guaranteed Winter Service Without Shortages
✅ Only Strata – We maintain a minimum of 1,000 tonnes of road salt in our own storage facilities — often much more — ensuring uninterrupted service even during the harshest cold fronts and widespread supply shortages.
Strict Capacity Cap – Guaranteed Service When Snowfall Demands Action
✅ Only Strata – Unlike companies that overbook to maximize profit during salting events — only to fall short when heavy snow hits — we stay true to our commitments. Our strict capacity limits ensure that when snowfall demands immediate action, our clients are never left waiting.
Tailored Equipment – Built for Strata & Multi-Unit Residential Properties
✅ Only Strata – We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all snow removal. That’s why we’ve invested in the largest fleet of ATV plows in the industry, along with equipment specifically selected for multi-unit residential properties. Every machine is chosen to protect your surfaces and access points.
Green Eco Options – Environmentally Friendly Snow & Ice Management
✅ Only Strata – If you select our Eco Green option in your contract proposal, we will prioritize using our most environmentally friendly de-icing products and apply eco-conscious snow removal practices whenever possible — protecting both your property and the planet.
Commercial Snow Removal Companies ❌
100% Specific Focus–Townhomes, Apartments, Senior Living & Daycares
❌ Traditional Commercial Snow Removal Providers – Serve a mix of commercial and residential clients, which often means stratas are pushed to the back of the line during storms.
Digital Service Reports – GPS Tracking, Photos & Detailed Crew Notes
❌ Traditional Commercial Snow Removal Companies – Limited or no service reporting. Often no photos, GPS logs, or written notes, leaving councils guessing about when and how work was done.
Perfect Liability Record – 100% Success in Slip-and-Fall Defense
❌ Traditional Commercial Snow Removal near me – Inconsistent service quality and poor documentation often weaken defense against liability claims, leading to costly payouts and higher insurance premiums.
Freedom to Cancel – No Rigid Contracts, Just Performance You Can Trust
❌ Average Commercial Snow Removal Services – Often lock clients into long-term, inflexible contracts with penalties or fine print that make cancellation difficult.
Damage-Free Promise – We Fix Any Mistakes, Fast and at No Cost
❌ Typical Commercial Snow Removal in my area– May deny responsibility or delay repairs, leaving property managers and councils to absorb the cost and hassle.
In-House Mechanics – Minimal Downtime, Maximum Winter Reliability
❌ Usual Commercial Snow Plowing Companies – Depend on outside mechanics, leading to long repair wait times and missed service windows during critical winter events.
Large Supply of Salt – Guaranteed Winter Service Without Shortages
❌ Traditional Commercial Snow Clearing Companies – Rely on limited municipal or third-party stockpiles, making them vulnerable to shortages and delayed service during high-demand storms.
Strict Capacity Cap – Guaranteed Service When Snowfall Demands Action
❌ Traditional Commercial Snow Cleaning Companies – Often overextend their crews and resources, resulting in delayed or incomplete service during peak winter events.
Tailored Equipment – Built for Strata & Multi-Unit Residential Properties
❌ Traditional Commercial Snow Plowing Services – Use bulky commercial plows and equipment designed for parking lots and roadways, risking property damage and poor results in tight residential layouts.
Green Eco Options – Environmentally Friendly Snow & Ice Management
❌ Traditional Commercial Snow Clearing Services – Rarely offer green alternatives, relying heavily on standard road salt and practices with higher environmental impact.
Why Settle for Less?
❌ Average delay in service: 4–8 hours after snowfall ends
❌ Liability record: Most providers face at least 1–2 slip-and-fall claims per season
❌ Focus: Commercial sites often prioritized over your strata community
Don’t risk late service, shortages, or avoidable claims — see how strata-first service changes everything.
