Snow & Ice Treatment in Garner, NC

Snow & Ice Treatment Services in Garner, NC

Garner sits along the US-70 and I-40 corridor, and a lot of residents here commute into Raleigh every morning, which means driveways need to be clear before sunrise, not sometime after lunch. Summit Exterior Services works throughout Garner neighborhoods like Adams Point, Chadbourne, Cleveland Springs, Cleveland Bluffs, Creekside, Island Creek, and Kyndal, where older, sloped driveways are common and ice tends to collect at the bottom of the grade or pool near garage entrances. We know these streets and we know which driveways ice over first, so we can get to you quickly instead of guessing where the trouble spots are.

Central North Carolina storms rarely dump a foot of snow. Most of what we deal with around Garner is ice, sleet, or a wintry mix that glazes over roads and driveways, then refreezes overnight once temperatures drop again. Road crews in Wake County focus on US-70, NC-42, and other main routes first, which means neighborhood streets and individual driveways can sit untreated for hours, sometimes a full day, after the main roads are already clear. That gap is exactly where problems happen: a driveway that looked fine at dusk can be a sheet of ice by morning. Waiting until after the storm to deal with it means you are chipping at bonded ice instead of preventing it in the first place.

Our approach starts before the storm arrives. We apply a calcium chloride brine to driveways and walkways ahead of time, which keeps ice from bonding to the concrete in the first place and makes any snow or sleet that does fall much easier to clear afterward. Because we are based locally, we are not waiting on a crew to drive in from out of town once the forecast changes, we are already scheduled and ready to move through Garner. Homeowners on a seasonal agreement get priority scheduling for every event of the winter, while per-event service is also available if you would rather call as storms come up. Either way, we handle the shoveling and driveway clearing so you do not have to.
