When Vancouver Snow Arrives, Your Property Still Needs Access.
Vancouver may not get heavy snow every year, but when it does, it can bring the city to a standstill. Wet coastal snow, overnight freezing and rapidly changing temperatures can turn sidewalks, entrances and parking areas into slippery hazards before your doors even open.
Commercial Building Maintenance provides dependable snow and ice management throughout Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. We monitor winter conditions, prepare before the storm and respond when service is needed.
Vancouver Snow Is Different.
The challenge isn’t always how much snow falls—it’s what happens afterward.
WET.
Heavy coastal snow quickly packs down under foot and vehicle traffic.
FREEZE.
Temperatures hovering near freezing create repeated freeze-and-thaw cycles.
THAW.
Rain over snow can create dangerous ice, slush and rapidly changing conditions.

Snow Clearing Before the Morning Rush
Vancouver property owners and occupants are responsible for clearing snow and ice from the full width of adjacent sidewalks by 10:00 a.m. Failure to clear them may result in fines starting at $250 and increasing if the conditions remain.
CBM helps you stay ahead of that deadline. Our team can service your property before employees, tenants, customers and delivery drivers begin arriving.
Complete Snow & Ice Management
A winter plan is more than sending someone out with a shovel after the snow has already fallen.
01 — Pre-Storm Preparation
Proactive treatment when conditions call for it can help reduce bonding and make subsequent clearing more effective.
02 — Snow Clearing
Accumulated snow is cleared from sidewalks, entrances, walkways, stairs and other designated areas.
03 — Ice Control
Appropriate ice-control products are applied to priority surfaces to help improve traction and reduce slippery conditions.
04 — Ongoing Storm Response
Extended snowfall and freeze-thaw conditions may require return visits based on weather and the needs of your property.
05 — Site-Specific Planning
Priority areas, access points, snow-storage locations and property-specific risks are identified before winter weather arrives.
Year-Round Property Care
Snow removal can be coordinated alongside your janitorial and building maintenance services, giving you one dependable point of contact for a cleaner, safer and better-maintained property. Our team works in the communities we serve and understands Vancouver’s unpredictable coastal winter conditions.
Protect the People Who Depend on Your Property
Professional snow removal is about more than appearance. A well-maintained winter property helps:
— Keep entrances and pedestrian routes accessible
— Reduce slip-and-fall hazards
— Minimize interruptions to business operations
— Support tenants, employees, customers and visitors
— Demonstrate active property maintenance
— Address municipal sidewalk-clearing requirements
Be Ready Before the First Snowfall
The best time to arrange snow removal is before snow appears in the forecast. Advance planning allows us to assess your property, define priority areas and establish a clear winter response plan.
