Snow Removal Services
REQUEST A QUOTE
When a winter storm hits the western suburbs, you need a contractor who shows up. Not tomorrow. Not when they get around to it. That morning, before your employees arrive or your customers pull into the lot.
Shamblin Paving provides snow plowing and salting services for commercial properties, townhome associations, and residential customers throughout Aurora, and the surrounding Kane County communities. We know what Illinois winters throw at us, and we come prepared.
Why Aurora Properties Need Reliable Snow Removal
The western suburbs average 30 to 35 inches of snow each winter, with occasional lake-effect events pushing totals higher. Add in the freeze-thaw cycles that come with our climate, and you have conditions that can turn a parking lot into a liability overnight.
For commercial property managers, the stakes are high:
Slip-and-fall liability. An untreated walkway or parking lot is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Property owners can be held responsible for injuries caused by snow and ice accumulation.
Business continuity. If customers cannot get to your door safely, they will go somewhere else. A snowed-in parking lot costs you revenue every hour it stays that way.
Employee safety. Your staff should not have to navigate treacherous conditions just to get to work. Consistent snow removal keeps your property accessible.
Code compliance. Aurora requires property owners to clear snow from sidewalks within 24 hours after snowfall ends. Commercial properties face additional requirements.
Our Snow Removal Services
Snow Plowing
We clear parking lots, driveways, and access roads using commercial-grade plow trucks. Our operators know how to push snow efficiently without damaging curbs, landscaping, or pavement markings. For larger commercial properties, we use multiple trucks to minimize clearing time.
Sidewalk and Walkway Clearing
Plows cannot reach every surface. We handle sidewalks, building entrances, loading dock areas, and other pedestrian zones with snow blowers and hand shoveling where necessary.
Salt and De-Icer Application
Clearing snow is only half the job. We apply rock salt or treated salt to prevent ice formation and improve traction. For sensitive areas near landscaping or building entrances, we can use alternative de-icing products that are less corrosive.

Commercial Snow Removal
We work with retail centers, office parks, industrial facilities, medical offices, churches, and multi-family properties throughout the western suburbs. Our commercial snow removal services include:
Priority response. Commercial accounts get priority service during storms. We understand that your business cannot wait.
Customized trigger depths. Some properties need service at one inch of accumulation. Others can wait until two inches. We set trigger depths based on your needs and risk tolerance.
24/7 monitoring. We track weather forecasts and mobilize crews before storms arrive. When snow starts falling at 2 AM, we are already on the way.
Detailed documentation. We log service times, conditions, and salt application rates. This documentation protects you in the event of a liability claim.
Seasonal contracts. Lock in your rate before winter starts. Seasonal contracts give you budget certainty and guaranteed priority service.
Residential Snow Plowing
We also provide residential snow removal for homeowners in the Aurora area. Services include driveway plowing, walkway clearing, and salt application. Residential customers can choose per-event service or seasonal contracts.
For townhome and condo associations, we offer comprehensive site management including common drives, parking areas, sidewalks, and building entrances. Our crews understand the traffic patterns and access requirements of multi-family properties.
Protecting Your Pavement During Winter
Snow removal is more than just moving snow. Done poorly, it can damage your pavement and create bigger problems down the road. Here is how we protect your investment:
Proper blade height. We set plow blades to clear snow without scraping the pavement surface. This prevents damage to sealcoating and pavement markings.
Strategic salt application. Too much salt wastes money and can damage concrete and landscaping. Too little leaves ice behind. We apply the right amount based on conditions.
Snow stacking considerations. Where we pile snow matters. We avoid blocking drainage, fire lanes, and accessible parking. We also consider spring melt patterns to prevent flooding.
Winter conditions are hard on asphalt. The freeze-thaw cycle opens cracks and creates potholes. When spring arrives, we can assess your pavement and address pothole repair before small damage spreads.
For commercial properties, spring is also a good time to schedule sealcoating to protect surfaces that took a beating over the winter. Residential driveways benefit from driveway sealcoating as well.
Get Ready for Winter
The time to arrange snow removal is before the first flake falls. Waiting until November means you are competing with everyone else who waited, and contractors fill up fast.
Call us to discuss your snow removal needs. We will assess your property, recommend a service level, and provide a quote that makes sense for your situation.
