Snow and ice are a safety problem as well as an inconvenience. Ruben’s plows, shovels, hauls and de-ices for businesses, apartment communities and homeowners in Bellingham, Ferndale, Mount Vernon, Blaine, Birch Bay, Custer and Lynden.
Why snow removal matters
Snow left around entrances, driveways and lawns creates hazards. Ice and slush make it hard for staff and visitors to get in. Around loading docks and warehouses, where vehicles and manual lifting are common, ice and snow can cause serious accidents. Clearing it quickly keeps people safe and your business open.
Our snow removal services
Plowing
Heavy-duty 4x4 trucks built for slippery conditions and heavy loads.
Shoveling and snow blowing
For walks, entries and tight spaces plows cannot reach.
Hauling and relocation
When there is more snow than your lot can hold, we move it off the site.
Roof snow removal
Equipment to clear snow and ice from hard-to-reach roofs, since heavy roof snow can slide or collapse.
We also offer full-service packages with options for different budgets and needs.
De-icing
Snow can melt and refreeze into dangerous ice. We de-ice walkways, driveways, patios and parking lots by salting the ice, letting it melt and drying the surface so it does not refreeze. Ask us about our de-icing deal.
Seasonal and rapid response
For commercial properties in heavy-snow areas, we offer winter-long service with a dedicated team handling both snow removal and de-icing, on a daily, weekly or twice-monthly basis. If entry routes are snowed in, we send a team promptly, including late-night calls.
