Who runs the winter

The people behind the storm line

About 30 people work the winter routes: drivers, walk crews, supervisors and dispatch. These three are who property managers talk to.

  • Carmela Rinaldi

    Owner

    Walks each property with its manager and signs every proposal.

  • Jerzy Pietrzak

    Field operations lead

    Builds the plow routes and runs the supervisors who measure depth and check walks.

  • Akosua Bonsu

    Dispatch lead

    (716) 555-0100

    Keeps the dispatch rota and the visit log, and answers the storm line overnight.

How we work

What a property manager can count on

  • One contact

    The same supervisor walks your site, reads the trigger and signs the log.

  • Written terms

    Triggers, clear-by times and what is not included are in the contract, not on a call.

  • A visit log

    Every visit is logged with a time, so a complaint can be answered with a record.

  • A real phone

    The storm line is a person on the dispatch rota, at any hour.

Credentials and cover

What we hold, and how to check it

Ask for the certificate of insurance before you sign, and for the credential holder's name.

  • Snow industry credential

    • Certified Snow Professional (CSP) · NY Certificate 000000 · Snow & Ice Management AssociationVerify

      The snow and ice industry's credential for managing winter work on commercial sites.

  • Insurance

    • General liability and commercial auto insurance

      A certificate of insurance goes to your property manager before the first push, with your property listed as certificate holder.

Next step

Meet the supervisor who will walk your site

A site walk takes about as long as a lap of the lot, and nothing is signed there.
