Commercial snow removal for plazas, offices, condominiums and industrial sites across the GTA

A commercial agreement is only as useful as the numbers written into it. MapleCore contracts set an accumulation trigger and a response window for each site, so tenants, the property manager and our dispatcher share one definition of a service event.

Triggers are set per contract rather than as one company-wide figure. A medical building with a morning clinic usually wants a lower trigger and a tighter window than a distribution yard that opens with the first shift.

Where the contract specifies them, daytime passes continue while a storm is still falling, so entrances and drive aisles are worked again during business hours instead of waiting for the snowfall to end.

• Accumulation trigger in centimetres
• Response window per qualifying event
• Daytime passes where specified
• Certificate of insurance with every agreement

Every lot is plowed to a site plan agreed before the season: which drive aisles open first, where snow gets pushed and where piles can sit without blocking sightlines at the exit or taking over stalls.

Accessible spaces and fire routes come first, then the main aisles, loading areas and remaining stalls. Entrances, walkways, steps and ramps are cleared in the same visit, so the path from a parked car to the door is finished with the lot.

Commercial snow clearing on a tight urban lot runs out of stacking room faster than a suburban plaza with a landscaped margin. When the designated stacking area is full, optional hauling takes the piles off site so stalls stay usable through the back half of the winter.

The GTA sees freezing rain and thaw-refreeze cycles most winters, and those are the nights when a lot that was plowed clean can glaze over before the morning rush.

Each salting application is logged with the product used and the quantity spread, per site and per visit. That record sits in the event log beside time-stamped entries and photos, so a tenant's question about a specific morning is answered from the record, not from memory.

Dispatch is based on monitored weather data that the operations team reviews before crews are sent. Salting is quoted as a separate line in the proposal, so the ice management scope is visible on its own and you can decide which surfaces it covers.

Pricing is quoted per property after the team reviews the request, and there are no instant prices because two lots of the same size can need very different plans. The request is free and creates no obligation.

For larger or more complex sites the review may include a site walk to mark stacking areas, fire routes, accessible spaces and surfaces that need hand clearing. The written proposal lists the trigger, the response window, the surfaces covered, the salting line and any daytime pass arrangement, and a certificate of insurance comes with every agreement.

Seasonal contracts run November 15 to April 15, are invoiced in monthly instalments, and for winter 2026–2027 include the advertised 10% discount in the proposal. Portfolios with several buildings can be written as one multi-property contract with consolidated invoicing, or with per-site invoices where each building carries its own budget.
