Snow Shoveling

Providing Snow Shoveling Services

Winter is upon us! When your sidewalks and pathways get covered in snow and ice, and it needs to be cleared fast.

The thing is, shovelling snow can be a pain in the neck – literally. With the large snow falls and packed snowdrifts we get here in Alberta, long hours of shovelling snow can take a real physical toll on your body.

It’s only a little better if you use a snowblower, which can be hard to push and prone to mechanical problems. If snow shovelling doesn’t sound appealing to you, it’s time to call in the snow removal experts at Michael brothers.

We’ll clear your sidewalks, pathways, and driveways for you – and you can stay inside with a mug of hot chocolate and enjoy the wintery views.

Why Snow Shovelling Is Important

Here’s one thing to know: not shoveling your sidewalks isn’t an option. Local regulations require homeowners and businesses to clear their sidewalks of snow and ice within 24 hours after the end of a snowfall.

What Does Michael brothers Offer

For most homeowners and businesses, snow shovelling involves more than just the sidewalk in front of your property. There are lots of areas you need to keep clear of snow and ice, including:

  • City sidewalks & pathways
  • Private sidewalks & pathways
  • Driveways
  • Lane Ways
  • Stairs
  • Ramps
  • Handrails
  • Parking Stalls (including handicap stalls)
  • Paths for garbage bins and mail
  • Fire Exits

Shovelling all these areas multiple times during a big snowstorm does not sound like a fun job. We understand winters in Alberta. After all, we live here too! So leave your snow shovelling tasks to our professionals at Michael brothers. We will shovel everything that needs shovelling, whether it’s your private residence or a big commercial property. If you are looking for snow plowing near me, we also offer that.
