Commercial Snow Removal
in Durango CO

Winter in Durango is serious business. When a storm rolls in overnight, the last thing your customers or employees should face is an unplowed parking lot at 8 AM. Rocky Top Painting & Construction LLC has provided reliable commercial snow removal in Durango CO since 2008 — and we've learned exactly what it takes to keep lots clear in southwestern Colorado's demanding mountain climate.

When Do We Activate? The 2-Inch Trigger

We operate on a 2-inch accumulation trigger. When National Weather Service forecasts or actual ground accumulation hits 2 inches or more, our crews mobilize — day or night. Our standard is simple: commercial lots we service are cleared and ready for business by 7:30 AM, regardless of when the snow stops falling. That means if a storm dumps 8 inches overnight, we're out at 3 or 4 AM to get ahead of it.

Our season runs November 1 through March 1, covering the full core of Durango's snow season. Contracts are available for the full season, giving you predictable budgeting and guaranteed priority service when storms hit.

Our Equipment

Commercial snow removal is only as reliable as the equipment behind it. Rocky Top runs a purpose-built fleet built for southwest Colorado conditions:

• Ram 2500 with 8'6" plow — Our heavy-duty Dodge handles large open lots and high-volume pushes. The extra blade width means fewer passes and faster clearance on wide commercial properties.
• Ford F-250 with 7.5 ft plow — Ideal for tighter lots, access lanes, and properties with landscaping to navigate around. Nimble and reliable for detail work.
• Skidsteer with snow blower attachment — When accumulation is heavy or lot layouts require pushing snow to specific collection areas, the skidsteer with blower moves serious volume without simply stacking it higher at lot edges.

Having multiple machines in the fleet isn't just about capacity — it's about matching the right tool to the right property and providing backup if equipment needs attention mid-storm. We don't run single-truck operations on commercial contracts.

2024–25 Rates

Transparency matters. Here are our current hourly rates for the 2024–25 season:

• Skidsteer (without blower): $150/hr
• Skidsteer with Blower attachment: $190/hr
• Ford F-250 Plow Truck: $120/hr
• Ram 2500 (Dodge) Plow Truck: $130/hr

Most commercial lots are serviced using a combination of machines for maximum efficiency. We'll assess your property and give you an honest estimate of what it takes per event and per season. Reach out via our contact page or call us directly to schedule a walk-through.

24/7 Availability — No Exceptions

Storms don't keep office hours and neither do we. Our commercial snow removal clients have direct contact access to our crew — if a storm comes in at 2 AM on a Saturday, we're on it. For businesses with early opening times, retail centers, medical facilities, or high-traffic commercial properties, that 24/7 commitment isn't just a selling point. It's the baseline.

Who We Serve

Since 2008, Rocky Top has handled winter lot maintenance for commercial properties throughout the Durango area — retail centers, office complexes, industrial facilities, and multi-tenant properties. We understand that a slip-and-fall on an uncleared lot is both a liability and a reputation problem. Our job is to make sure that never happens on a property we service.

Beyond snow plowing, our full service list includes painting, construction, and exterior maintenance — so many of our commercial clients work with us year-round for both winter and warm-season needs. It's one less contractor relationship to manage.

"Our standard is simple: your lot is clear and ready by 7:30 AM — whatever it takes to get there."
