When winter hits, your business cannot afford to shut down because of snow and ice. Big Jay’s Earthworks provides commercial snow removal services in the Roanoke area so your parking lots, access roads, and walkways stay safe and open.
Reliable Snow and Ice Management
Roanoke does not get buried in snow every year, but when a storm rolls through the valley, businesses need their lots cleared fast. We monitor weather forecasts and have crews ready to roll when snow starts falling. Our goal is to have your property cleared before your employees and customers show up in the morning.
We handle snow plowing for parking lots and access roads, snow stacking and relocation when space gets tight, ice treatment with salt and de-icing materials, sidewalk and walkway clearing, and 24/7 response during active storms.
Who We Work With
Our snow removal services are geared toward commercial properties and businesses. That includes retail shopping centers and strip malls, office buildings and business parks, churches and schools, medical facilities, restaurants and hospitality properties, industrial and warehouse sites, and HOA communities and private roads.
We can set up seasonal contracts so you are covered all winter, or handle things on a per-event basis. Either way, you will have a direct line to us and will not be waiting around wondering when someone is going to show up.
Our Equipment
We use truck-mounted plows, skid steers with pusher boxes, and salt spreaders to handle jobs of all sizes. For larger commercial lots, we can have multiple machines on site at the same time to get it done faster. Since we are an earthworks company year-round, we have the heavy equipment that some snow-only outfits do not, which means we can handle the big stuff when the weather gets serious.
Get Set Up Before Winter
The best time to line up snow removal is before the first storm. Call 540-589-5656 or reach out online and we will put together a plan for your property.
What to Expect When You Work With Us
Reliable snow removal starts before the first flake falls. First, we meet with you to assess your property and identify priority areas like entrances, loading docks, and walkways. Then, we develop a snow management plan with trigger depths and response times. As a result, you know exactly when and how your property will be serviced.
When a winter storm hits, our crew mobilizes quickly to clear snow and apply salt or sand as needed. In addition, we monitor forecasts around the clock during storm events. Because of this, we can respond to changing conditions and keep your property safe throughout the storm. Furthermore, we handle both plowing and hauling when snow accumulation is heavy.
After each event, we follow up to make sure your lot and walkways remain clear and safe. Therefore, your business can stay open and your customers and employees can access your property without risk. Moreover, our seasonal contracts give you predictable costs with no surprise invoices.
Additionally, we offer emergency snow removal for unexpected storms or ice events. Because we pre-position equipment near our client properties, we can respond faster than most competitors. In addition, we document every service visit with timestamps so you have clear records for liability purposes. As a result, property managers and business owners can focus on their operations instead of worrying about winter weather.
We also offer material hauling and gravel road maintenance services. Contact us today for a free estimate on snow removal in Roanoke VA.
Snow Removal FAQs
Do you offer residential or commercial snow removal?
Our snow removal services are focused on commercial properties — parking lots, access roads, sidewalks, and business properties. We work with retail centers, office parks, churches, schools, medical facilities, HOA communities, and industrial sites. For residential driveways, our gravel road maintenance service can help with winter damage.
How quickly do you respond when it snows?
We monitor forecasts and have crews ready to roll when a storm hits. Our goal is to have your property cleared before your employees and customers arrive in the morning. During active storms we provide 24/7 response to keep lots and walkways passable throughout the event.
Do you offer seasonal snow removal contracts?
Yes. We offer both seasonal contracts that cover you all winter and per-event service for individual storms. Seasonal contracts give you predictable costs with no surprise invoices and guaranteed priority response. Either way, you get a direct line to our crew and do not have to wait wondering when someone will show up.
What equipment do you use for snow removal?
We use truck-mounted plows, skid steers with pusher boxes, and salt spreaders. For larger commercial lots, we can have multiple machines on site at the same time to clear faster. Since we are an earthworks company year-round, we have heavy equipment that some snow-only outfits do not — which matters when storms get serious.
Do you handle ice treatment and salting?
Yes. We apply salt and de-icing materials to parking lots, walkways, and entrances to prevent ice buildup and reduce slip-and-fall risk. Ice treatment can be included in your snow removal plan or done as a standalone service for freezing rain events that do not produce plowable snow.
When should I set up snow removal for the winter?
The best time to line up snow removal is before the first storm — ideally by late October or early November. Waiting until the first big snowfall means scrambling to find a provider when everyone else is doing the same thing. Early sign-ups get priority scheduling and locked-in rates.
How much snow triggers a plow-out?
We set trigger depths with each client based on their needs — typically 1 to 2 inches for high-traffic commercial properties and medical facilities, or 2 to 4 inches for less critical sites. Your snow management plan spells out exactly when we mobilize so there is no confusion during a storm.
Do you document your snow removal visits?
Yes. We timestamp every service visit so you have clear records for liability purposes. Property managers and business owners need documentation showing when lots and walkways were cleared and treated. Our records protect you in case of slip-and-fall claims or insurance questions.
