If you’ve already had the first taste of winter, you may be thinking about setting up a contract with a commercial snow removal company. Here are the many reasons you need to sign up for commercial snow removal in Oswego, IL.
1. Attract better tenants to your commercial property
A tidy, well-kept commercial property gives a great first impression and hints at the attention that is given to caring for the interiors. If you want to attract high quality tenants to a residential building or a commercial building, keep in mind that winter presents extra challenges to maintaining an attractive and safe exterior. People expect that driveways, parking areas, walkways, entryways, and stairs will always be kept clear of snow and ice. If someone (a current tenant, a prospective tenant, a customer, or a visitor has to navigate the many hazards of an icy parking lot or walkway, you can be sure word will get around! Poor snow and ice management sends an instant “I don’t care about your safety” message, which will reflect poorly on you as a landlord. It will not inspire good tenants to want to sign a lease. Landlords must do everything in their power to ensure safety for their tenants and all visitors to the premises. Since snow removal and ice management is hard and time-consuming work, the services of a commercial snow removal company quickly become valuable!
Tip: When considering professional commercial snow removal companies, consider only those that offer snow removal and not just plowing and snowblowing. Ugly piles of snow will obscure the building, and they will have to be dealt with a second time when they start to melt. It’s better to remove them altogether to maintain a tidy appearance and minimize spring cleanup.

2. Avoid expensive repairs
The freeze-thaw cycle can wreak havoc on solid surfaces like asphalt parking areas or poured concrete walkways. These materials are prone to heaving, cracking, and chipping, and the only way to minimize damage is to remove the source of the problem: snow and ice.
Paver surfaces can be damaged from using too much deicing chemicals. These chemicals can discolor or even etch surfaces. The only remedy for having to rely on harsh deicing chemicals is to physically remove ice and snow.
3. Make spring cleanup easier
When spring finally comes and those big snow piles start to melt, the drainage system can become overwhelmed. Melting snow that can’t drain away will seep across parking lots and walkways where it will refreeze and create hazardous conditions. The remedy is snow removal.
Removing deicer residue from all surfaces is another spring cleanup chore that can be minimized by thorough snow removal services. Staying on top of snow and ice removal will reduce the need for deicing chemicals and extend the life of your hardscapes.
A well-maintained property will catch the eye of prospective tenants. It will also draw the attention of real estate agents who may have buyers interested in a commercial property.
