Snow removal in Stateline, NV

Stateline is a small resort community of about 500 residents at 6,284 feet, and a large share of what is here is lodging, retail and rental housing. When a storm closes in, the question is whether guests and customers can get in the door.

A commercial and rental market

Stateline's census place has about 500 residents in roughly 250 households, and only about 8% of homes are owner-occupied (ACS 2020-2024, small-area figures with wide margins). Lodging, retail and rentals dominate. We plow and push lots, load and haul snow, hand shovel entrances and walks, and salt and treat ice for offices, retail stores, medical facilities and other commercial properties.

Weather at the pass

The Daggett Pass station, 2.8 miles away at 7,334 feet, records about 21.8 inches of precipitation a year and a mean temperature of 43.3 F (NOAA 1991-2020). It is about 1,000 feet higher than Stateline, so it overstates the town. Tahoe City across the lake averages 179.0 inches of snow, a reference for the basin, not a Stateline measurement.

Older buildings

About 51% of Stateline's homes were built before 1980 and the median home dates to 1980. Entrances, stairs and walkways on older buildings are often the first places ice forms. We hand shovel and treat them rather than running a machine across them.

How do I get snow service started in Stateline?

Call 775.232.8243, ask whether your address is on the snow route, and describe the surfaces and the entrances that matter most. A custom flat rate is available to ongoing customers, and our snow team is available through the snow season, 24 hours a day. The yard is 29.4 miles away by road, about 45 minutes without traffic, so planning before the first storm is the practical route.

Stairs, ramps and entrances

For a rental or lodging property the entrance is the product. We hand shovel and salt stairs, ramps and the walk from parking, and we keep accessible routes in mind when we plan the order of work. Tell the office which doors guests use, and whether a second visit later in the day is needed once the sun moves.

Stateline sits right at the state line, and the work we do is on the Nevada side only. Tree work on this shore has its own agency rules, covered on the Lake Tahoe page. Ask the office if you have a question about what a particular property needs.
