FAQs
Why should we choose Incline Village Snow Removal?
Incline Village Snow Removal has over 30 years of residential and commercial snow removal experience in the Tahoe and Incline region. We have professional operators that have lived and worked in the Sierra Nevada mountains for decades. Our staff has the operational skills, mechanical skills and administrative experience necessary to offer Incline Village homeowners a prompt, reliable snow removal service.
What is the purpose of having a snow removal service?
Long-time snow country residents, renters and visitors alike have found snow removal to be an affordable and time saving necessity. When visitors arrive for a weekend getaway, the last thing they want deal with is a three foot berm and two feet of snow in their driveway. Similarly, full-time residents enjoy not having to clear their driveways before going to work or after returning home.
What time do you begin snow removal?
Incline Village Snow Removal will begin snow removal operations when snowfall reaches a depth of approx. 6” in Incline Village. Although we tend to start in the early morning hours, each run is storm dependent so we cannot guarantee an exact time of clearing. If storms start in the afternoon or evenings, we will wait to start our routes until next early morning hours. We provide one clearing every 24 hours.
How close do you get to garage door?
In most cases, our small tractors can safely maneuver within 12" inches of your garage door, car, stairs and/or entry. Our operators will remove snow from around these areas to the best of their abilities. Some snow may remain in front of these areas.
Do I need to protect my property from your equipment?
No. That's the advantage of HOLDER and Multihog snow blowers. Incline Village Snow Removal will evenly disperse snow across your property, eliminating property damage.
Can lightweight tractor/snow blowers handle Incline Village snow conditions?
Yes. For years, snowblower-based snow removal companies have operated effectively throughout Truckee-Tahoe communities, Donner Summit, Talmont (Tahoe's West Shore), Northstar-at-Tahoe and Incline Village. Incline Village's heavy, wet snowfall and steep, technical driveways make it probably the most difficult environment for snow removal in the country. However, we found our lightweight tractors to be incredibly maneuverable and effective machines.
More FAQs
Should I wait for my driveway to be cleared before trying to get out?
Waiting is not necessary. Driving over the snow doesn't necessarily create ice, but merely packs the snow. Our HOLDER and Multihog snow blowers are fitted with a low-impact cutting edge designed to peel up packed snow. Feel free to drive over any snow in your driveway.
How soon should I sign up for snow removal?
Your early commitment is greatly appreciated. Your early commitment allows us to begin estimating equipment, supplies and personnel for the upcoming winter season. Our routes tend to fill up by October.
