The Shovel Squad
Our Story

Born in a Nor'easter. Built for every one after.

We do one thing — the walkways, stairs, and ice that plow rigs leave behind — and we do it better than anyone in Southern Maine.

The plow does the lot.
We do the walk.

The Shovel Squad started on a January morning when a friend who owns a plow company called at 5 a.m. — his lots were spotless, but every property manager on his phone wanted to know why the front steps were still buried.

Plow rigs can't do sidewalks. And most plow crews don't want to. But the sidewalks are what people actually walk on — and where slip-and-fall claims come from. So we built a company that does nothing but walkways, stairs, and ice management, working hand in hand with the plow operators already on site.

Today we're the sidewalk arm for a growing roster of Southern Maine plow companies, plus a curated list of homeowners who want their family, guests, and dog on solid footing all winter.

Our promise

Four rules. No exceptions.

We built a company that does nothing but walkways, stairs, and ice management. These are the standards every route is held to — every storm, every season.

01

Show up early

Every route is timed to be clear before the property opens or the family wakes up.

02

Document everything

Photos, timestamps, and salt logs after every push. Your liability file writes itself.

03

Never leave ice

If it's slick when we leave, we're not finished. Ice melt is included, never upsold.

04

Answer the phone

One number, one person, all season. No answering service, no dispatcher lottery.

Commercial routes serviced weekly
