Yes, We Work During The Summers Too

Naturally, many people wonder what a snow removal and ice management company does during the hot summer months. Obviously, there isn’t any snow to clear or impending ice storms that need monitoring. Believe it or not, we are just as busy during the middle of July as we are in December. A company as in-depth and careful as ours has constant overhead, information, and management requirements to make sure we are in tip-top shape and ready to hit the roads come the first Northeastern snowfall (which can be as early as October).

If you’re one of those people wondering what we’re up to right now, stick around and we’ll go through some of our regular upkeep tasks:

- General Preventative Maintenance on All Equipment

We deal with heavy-duty equipment, plows, and machinery here at Xtreme Snow Pros. As such, this equipment needs some tender love and care when it’s not in use. We go through our entire inventory, keep count, and oversee cleaning and repairs for anything that needs it. That means equipment, trucks, machines, and anything in-between. It’s a tedious task, but one we don’t mind, as it’s essential for our winter performance.

- Conventions and Workshops

In order to be at the top of our game, we need to constantly study up on the industry’s latest trends and developments. Although we have dozens of accreditations to our name today, there are constantly new tests and courses for us to complete. This is the most essential part of our operation. Without education, we’d fall fast behind the competition.

- Assess Training Process

In order to join our Xtreme Team, we require applicants and staff to undergo serious training, both inside and outside of the classroom. Not everyone has what it takes to join our team, which is why we put a lot of time into our training and hiring processes. From the initial application to the real-world scenarios we put our students through, we make sure they’re ready to go by the end of it all. During the summer, we sit down as a team and go over the exact criteria for hiring new staff. It’s a constant process for us.

- Sales Marketing

Sales and marketing are ever-changing necessities for a business today. With social media, content marketing, and email marketing being incredibly popular right now, we make sure that our sales efforts are targeting the right people at the right time. As a commercial snow and ice management company, we are always looking for new clients in the New York and New Jersey corridor.

- Vacation?

We’re only humans, too. A lot of us go on vacation during the hot summer months. When most people are in Disney World during their kid’s February or April school breaks, we’re hitting the roads all night and all day. Right now is the perfect time for us to enjoy a little break from the hustle and bustle.

Client Portal Advantages from Xtreme Snow Pros

Priding ourselves on being completely transparent to our clientele, we offer the ability for monitoring of your sites through our client portal. Gone are the days where you may have to question if they actually did the work they say they did. Through this portal, you are able to see which one of your properties have already been serviced, which properties have not yet been visited and which sites are currently in progress. We then send our collected information and updates to you in the form of notifications for either email or mobile device. Or we can give you access to all of this information through a web browser that you may utilize at your convenience at any time to monitor your property’s status. It’s up to you, our client, to select how you would like to be kept informed on what is happening on all your locations during snow events.

Essentially, our clients are able to review the status of their properties right from their pockets. Our fleets are also equipped with this same technology, enabling us to assess weather conditions on the road and in real-time from our machines. Once we get to your site and complete our services, we provide pictures of the completion to your client portal. You are able to monitor, in real-time, our progress and the status of your property so you never have to worry about personal injury lawsuits or injured customers again.

Xtreme Snow Pros Leadership Team Attends This Year’s ‘Snow and Ice Show’ in Indianapolis

The Accredited Snow Contractors Association (ASCA), a national snow contracting organization dedicated to providing accreditation, certification, and education to all North American snow and ice removal companies, this year teamed up with Snow Magazine to introduce the Snow and Ice Show, a new industry event that is focusing on education, certification, networking, and the latest snow-fighting tools for increased efficiency and profitability.

As part of their continued efforts to learn and know the latest ice and snow removal developments and standards as they occur, the Xtreme Snow Pros leadership team traveled to Indianapolis this past week to attend the 3-day event, kicking off on May 17 and wrapping up May 19. In attendance was Chris Marino, Owner, Glenn Kramer, Director of Operations, and Joe Capobianco, the Business Developer. The comprehensive conference provided opportunities for the Xtreme Snow Pros team to view the latest industry equipment, supplies, and ice management services for them to witness and consider implementing into the Xtreme Snow Pros management process.

The Snow and Ice Show was developed by the ASCA to fill a void in the snow and ice management market for ASCA in-classroom certification; industry-specific, high-quality educational programming; and elite peer-to-peer networking opportunities. The conference was focused on the modern principles of successful snow and ice management, how to reduce risk, insurance rates, and personal injuries that lead to expensive lawsuits. The gear featured catered to industry leaders who wish to become industry change agents.

As part of their participation in the event, the Xtreme Snow Pros leadership team sat in on daily presentations, exhibitions, and educational forums that shared new information regarding snow removal practices and what machinery is most appropriate given the weather conditions.

The Xtreme Snow Pros leadership team goes to multiple accreditation conferences per year to ensure their award-winning company stays atop the competition in New Jersey. Aware that industry standards are always changing and developing, the team constantly sits in on newly developed courses for consistently earning the latest certificates that prove their seriousness about winter weather management and removal.

Quality Matters When it Comes to Snow & Ice Management Services

You know the time-old saying, “You get what you pay for!” Though this saying isn’t always applicable to every kind of product or service out there, it is one that definitely holds true for snow management and ice removal services – especially in the active winter areas of New Jersey and New York. Snow removal isn’t a service that can be skimped on like waiting a week to have the lawn and weeds trimmed. Snow and ice removal present real, threatening dangers to both business owners and their clientele. It’s not something that can ever be taken lightly, which is why here at Xtreme Snow Pros, we want to stress the importance of quality snow management services during the taxing winter months.

Don't Fall for Cheap

Since there is element of personal safety and injury related to winter weather conditions, it is beyond important to not fall for cheap snow management services and scams out there today. Plenty of people in this world will do anything to make a buck, and leaving you and your property to personal injury lawsuits is not something that is worth it in the long run. Though you may be saving for the short-term, the second someone slips, falls, and breaks a hip on your sidewalk, that cheap bill just quadrupled into a yearlong legal nightmare.

Instead, go for the quality services. At Xtreme Snow Pros, they invest in you and your property, spending on the very highest quality equipment and snow clearing products out there today. Since they provide you with the best, your property will never experience wear-and-tear, damage, or a half-hearted clearing job that still lands you angry clients. Additionally, they’ve invested in real-time technology that helps monitor their staff while also giving clientele invaluable information about present and impending weather conditions. They make sure your property never goes without winter weather clearing throughout the entire winter season.

Experience Matters

This isn’t a business where newcomers are magically experts in the snow clearing business. After being around for close to 8+ years as a company, and over 30 plus years experience, they are still applying themselves by completing courses, and working toward accreditation to make their central team as knowledgeable as possible. There’s no easy way around it with this kind of service: experience matters.

Hiring a firm with experience means they are well versed in the ways of sleet, snow, ice, and a combo of the three. They’ve experienced the huge snow storms, wind storms, and hail storms that sometimes aren’t even predicted by the weathermen. Experienced firms, like Xtreme Snow Pros, even have their own meteorologists who have been around the block with Northeast winter weather. Experience is absolutely priceless, and it’s what will keep your property safe and cleared no matter what kind of storm befalls the area.

It’s tempting to save some funds and go for a cheaper service option that “appears” to have high-quality performance. But trust us; check out all of Xtreme Snow Pros testimonies, awards, and accreditation to prove that they truly know what they're doing during the Northeastern winter months.
