Commercial Winter Services
Some mornings it's ice at the front door. Some days the lot is covered in snow. Then it melts, freezes overnight, and you're dealing with ice again. Different conditions create different problems. Everest has a service for each one. Choose the service you need, or put the full winter plan in place before conditions change.

Why Four Services
A plow moves snow. It doesn't treat ice on a cold, clear morning. It doesn't clear the walkway from the parking lot to the building. And it doesn't help when yesterday's snow melts, the temperature drops, and wet pavement freezes again. That's why Everest separates the work into four services: seasonal planning, parking and vehicle areas, commercial salting, sidewalks and walkways. Each one solves a different problem.
What We Do
Put the winter plan in place before you need it.
A seasonal contract sets up your winter service before conditions change. We agree on the areas and services needed ahead of time, so when ice or snow arrives, you're not starting from zero. This is Everest's main winter service.
Best when: you don't want to be calling around in the middle of a storm or icy morning.
Explore Seasonal Contracts
Keep the lot working when snow arrives.
Snow can change a commercial lot quickly. Parking stalls disappear. Drive lanes get tight. Loading areas become harder to use. Vehicles start moving slower through the property. Everest clears commercial parking and vehicle areas so staff, customers, trucks and deliveries can keep moving.
Best when: vehicle access is the biggest concern during snowfall.
Parking Lot Snow Removal
You don't need snow to have an ice problem.
A lot of Everest's winter work is salting. Cold nights, freezing rain and wet pavement that refreezes can make entrances, stairs, walkways and lots slippery with nothing to plow. In the Lower Mainland, that happens more often than a real snowfall does.
Best when: ice is the problem, with snow or without it.
Commercial Salting
A clear lot doesn't help if people can't reach the door.
People still need to get from the parking area to the building. Everest clears sidewalks, paths, walkways and entrances so people aren't wading through snow to reach the door.
Best when: people on foot use the property throughout the day.

One Property, One Week
A commercial property doesn't get one kind of winter day.
The pavement looks fine. The entrance is slick.
Commercial Salting
The lot fills up. Drive lanes get tight.
Parking Lot Snow Removal
The lot is getting cleared. The walkway to the door still needs work.
Sidewalk Snow Clearing
The snow is mostly gone. The ice is back.
Commercial SaltingSame property. Same week. A different problem every time.
Not Sure Where to Start?
Have more than one of these problems? That's normal. Tell us about the property and we'll help work out which services should be part of the winter plan.
Request a Commercial QuoteThe Seasonal Plan
A property can need salting one day, lot clearing the next, and sidewalk clearing during both. If you arrange each one as it happens, you're making winter decisions while the weather is already creating the problem. A seasonal contract puts those decisions in place beforehand. We review the property. We agree on the areas that matter. We agree on the winter services needed. Then your winter service is in place before conditions change.

Frequently Asked Questions
Plowing and salting solve different problems. Plowing moves accumulated snow. Salting helps treat icy surfaces. Depending on the property and conditions, the winter plan may use one or both.
Yes. Ice doesn't need snow. Cold nights, freezing rain and wet pavement that refreezes can leave entrances, walkways and lots slippery with nothing to plow.
Vehicles and people use a property differently. Parking lots and drive lanes help vehicles keep moving. Sidewalks and entrances help people get to and from the building. Some properties need both.
Yes. Salting, parking lot clearing and sidewalk clearing can be planned together. A seasonal contract is the main way Everest brings those services into one winter plan.
It depends on the property and the agreed service. Some sites may need salting and parking lot clearing. Others may also need sidewalks, entrances and other agreed areas included. The purpose is to decide that before winter conditions arrive.
No. Commercial salting can be used on different high-use areas around the property, including entrances, walkways, parking areas and vehicle areas, depending on the site and conditions.
