Snow Removal Services: A Priority To Avoid Liability

For those entrusted to manage commercial properties, making difficult decisions about how to maintain the outdoor space is routine. The outdoor space includes the landscape, with all of the green material yearning for nutrients, but also the hardscaped concrete spaces such as parking lots and walkways. These spaces are susceptible to becoming dangerous, especially in the harsh cold of the northern winter. When snow falls, it can become extremely dangerous or even inaccessible when frozen over. This applies to both people and vehicles, who will likely need to use the property regardless of the weather. For this reason and others, we will outline in this blog the priority of snow removal services and how to avoid liability.

With everything on your plate as a property manager, the last thing you need is to deal with a lawsuit. Frivolous or not, the potential for injury always leads to a potential for liability when you are responsible for keeping your property safe for tenants and visitors. Snow and ice management services from a reputable operation like Priority is the only way to ensure that your property is cleared quickly and safely. Not only can an icy parking lot cause car accidents, but icy walkways can also lead to scary falls. When your property has been adequately cleared by commercial-grade snow and ice equipment, nobody will be able to claim you did not perform your due diligence.

Expand Hours of Property

Another reason to engage in snow removal is more selfish but still understandable. When your property is under a layer of snow and ice, it might be unusable. For retail locations or service providers, this means doing less business on that particular day. Because we offer snow removal on retainer, your property will likely be cleared before the sun even rises. This means longer hours of operation and more revenue to add to the total on your bottom line. In your role as a property manager, your goal is to expand profits, which can only happen if the place of business is accessible and open.

Draw Attention with Curb Appeal

In an effort to improve the curb appeal of your property, you invest in your landscape. Pretty flowers, trimmed shrubs, and a luscious lawn all contribute to an individual’s desire to come onto your property and spend money as a customer or tenant. Another way to draw this same attention during winter weather is with snow removal services. When your property is seen to be cleared and safe, it will be a lasting impression that is considered when passersby make their next purchasing decision. Draw in more foot traffic, and more business with snow removal.
