Our Story

How it Started

The business was passed down from father to son and we continue to carry on Doug’s core values of honesty, integrity, and reliability. We’ve seen some of Tahoe’s biggest winters and are ready for whatever this season brings!

Attention to Detail

★★★★★

“This is my second year of using Sierra Nevada snow removal, and I can tell you that their service, their professionalism, and the job that they do, is second to none!! They work so quickly, and quietly, most of the times, I don’t even hear them, till the job is done. And so many times, they have even done extra work (hand shoveling my front porch, and other walkways) that they didn’t have to do…..just to make things easier for me. In this area, It’s not often that we run into a business and people that offer this kind of service, AND reliability…. That is why I happily give them five stars for ALL that they do!!!”

Predictable Service Times

★★★★★

“Had great experience this winter. Was surprised they do snow removal very early in the morning. I really liked extra cleaning in front of the driveway, so city plows don’t create much of a berm. Would recommend!”

– Vadim M.

Great Communication

★★★★★

“Great experience two winters in a row! Sierra Nevada Snow Removal did a fantastic job! So happy with the work and the communication. They clean my drive perfectly; they even clean in front of my mailbox. They send me text messages before and after so I’m prepared to move my car or I’m aware that they were there if I’m away on vacation. Even my friends who manage rental properties in the area commented on the great job this company did. Sign up with them now! Best snow removal company in Tahoe!”

– Tony S.

Affordable Pricing

★★★★★

“I’ve been using Sierra Nevada Snow Removal services for several years and have always found them to be prompt, reliable and competitively priced. The peace of mind you get with a trustworthy, long standing snow removal company is priceless- no worrying about hiring on demand or finding last minute (and expensive!) help during a big storm. Highly recommend!”

– Julie L.

Dependable Service

★★★★★

“Having lived through numerous record breaking winters, I am so thankful to find this company. The last several years were some of the worst, my service provider still came through when many roads were closed, streets were down to one narrow lane. He would widely clear the driveway, push back the berms, and even at the worst times would find a place to blow the piling up snow banks. Dependable, timely, and reasonably priced for our Tahoe winters”

– Kris K.

Great Customer Service

★★★★★

“I am very pleased with this company. I desperately needed a one time snow removal service and I found this company on a google search. Within less than an hour of contacting them, I was given a time of when the job was going to be completed within the same day. I am very happy with their service and customer service. And the one time service price was very reasonable compared to other quotes I have received.”
