Report
Schneider Snow Removal is incredible! I hired Kevin 6 years ago to clear Creekside Charter at the base of Squaw Valley, and it was one of my best decisions. As the Executive Director of a public charter school I have to know that my snow removal company is one I can trust. Kevin is a true professional. He works with me pre-season to make sure he has his access points all set. I've watch him navigate the impossible with 200" storms. We are fortunate to have Schneider Snow Removal, There is no one better!
