We may not be upstate, but winter weather on Long Island is no joke! It’s not unheard of to have snow piling up to your windows. And even when snow is mild, ice is still a hazard.
So when the weather outside is frightful, you’ll find our snow & ice service delightful. And since BK loves you so, we’ll come by and get rid of your snow.
Where Does BK Remove Ice and Snow?
BK covers a large portion of Suffolk County, including Riverhead, Aquebogue, Wading River, East Southhold, Jamesport, and Mattituck. And we take care of residential and commercial locations within our service area.
What Does Our Snow and Ice Removal Include?
When you hire BK to take care of your winter weather woes, we ensure your property is not just sans snow but safer. So what does that include?
Plowing Snow
If you’ve shoveled your driveway, you know it takes some time. But when you hire BK to remove snow, we get your property ready quickly by plowing your driveway.
Plowing makes quick work of snow, but not everyone can do it well. BK is fully licensed and insured, so you know you can trust us with your driveway, home, and cars.
Salting Driveways
Of course, the work isn’t complete after plowing. Everyone knows that snow melts in the sun and then refreezes into ice. Ice can leave you in a more dangerous situation than the snow did.
To prevent melted snow from refreezing, we also salt your driveway. Salt lowers the freezing point of water, so you don’t have to worry about having an unplanned skating rink in your yard!
Laying Down Sand
In addition to salt, BK also sands your driveway. While sand doesn’t melt or remove ice and snow, it creates traction for your feet and tires. If you’ve ever seen people put chains on their tires in extreme weather, it’s a similar concept.
Why Pay for Snow & Ice Removal Services?
If you’ve been in New York longer than one of our famous minutes, you’ve shoveled a driveway or two. It may have even been the first job you had outside your home! So now you either feel like you can do it yourself, or you know you don’t want to.
If you’re in the latter camp, you want to know why we’re the best choice for the job. And if you’re in the former, you probably want to know the benefit of hiring anyone. So in the following subsections, we will give answers to both groups.
Get to Work
The world doesn’t stop when it snows. But, unfortunately, we don’t even get a lot of snow days. So after the snowfall, the first order of business is to get back to work!
If you hired BK to care for your home, that means getting out the door. If we’re taking care of your business, it means getting into it!
Either way, you want to get on our schedule early so that we can take care of you in the morning and you can get on with your life.
Prevent Injury
Snow and ice hurt us in two ways: Walking on them and getting rid of them. Let BK help prevent both types of injury.
We’ll help prevent you from being one of the one million people who get hurt every year from
slipping on snow or ice by removing your snow and preventing ice from forming.
In addition, we’ll also prevent you from getting a back injury from trying to do all the shoveling yourself after you had a whole year to forget how to do it properly.
Reduce Liability
We’d love to say preventing injury was only from a sense of altruism but like it or not; we live in a litigious society! You want to do what you can to avoid the insurance claims you can incur from someone getting injured at your home or business.
A great way to do that is by hiring a professional rather than doing it yourself or hiring a neighborhood kid. Then, when you can prove you’ve done your due diligence, you’ve not only reduced the risk of injury but also the risk of a lawsuit.
Save Time
Finally, shoveling is time-consuming! Whether getting to work or enjoying a snow day with the kids, you can better spend your time on anything other than shoveling. So let BK take care of the snow for you.
Let us remove your snow and ice so you can enjoy the winter wonderland, even if that means looking out the window while you sip some hot cocoa!
