Snow is on the Way!

Seldovia's Plowing Service

Are you interested in a regular, professional snow plowing service?  

Paul “Sonny” Chissus is providing plowing service this winter.   Winter Watch will be making rounds every 4-8 inches of snow to maintain your residential or commercial access in a timely and effective manner.

Please call Paul at 399-0055 to get on the list and discuss your personal plowing needs.  Be prepared – and give a call so that you are on the list, before the snow arrives, and you are stuck in your driveway, behind a burm!

Please note:  To protect the equipment, this plow is only designed for regular service plowing and will not respond to driveways where too much heavy, wet snow has built up.  In those cases, heavier equipment will be necessary.
