Estabrook has done a great job for us! Thank you! Be aware that in heavy multi day storm cycles, once a day plowing from a service will not be enough, if you want to go out driving somewhere. So in those circumstances, you of course have to do some clearing work yourself. And if you want excellent road accessibility in winter, think about living in a home with a flat or nearly flat driveway. For best road accessibility, living on Northwoods (if you live in Tahoe Donner) is best, but you will experience more traffic and road noise. read more

Worst snow removal company experience ever. Christmas 2025 we were snowed in for days at a time. We'd wake up and have over a foot of snow in the driveway and a 3' berm at the street. We'd contact them to see when they were coming and they'd say "we already came at 2:30am". Well, that's great, but it's 9am now and our driveway isn't passable. After a few days of this, with our driveway not being passable, and them making midnight runs that don't actually help you in the morning, they charged us an extra $75, on top of the $2,300 season contract, to make our driveway passable for the first time in days. Then, a week or so later with the next snow, we had another foot in our driveway and they said "well, it rained most places in Tahoe Donner and we drove your street in the middle of the night and it wasn't that bad so we didn't bother to plow." I sent pics of the snow in my driveway, both fresh fallen and drifted, and they decided to cancel my contract in early 2026 rather than just do their job of plowing when it snows. If you live in the Bay Area and come up here every few weeks, they'll likely have your driveway clear for you when you happen to arrive. If you live up here, or rent your place out, find somebody else -- anybody else -- they want to take your money and make excuses for why they aren't driving their big fancy plows. Cancelling someone mid season is actually dangerous, too. There is no practical way to make other plans at the last minute, someone could need medical services etc., and it just shows their very low business ethics. Also, they say clearing the berm from the city plow isn't included. So, hope you like shoveling a 3' ice wall after a storm, because they say they're not going to come back and do it. Avoid at all costs. read more

I wish I found Estabrook sooner. Been with the big snow clearing service for years. I wasn't satisfied with their complacency. A neighbor in Tahoe Donner recommended Estabrook. I am very pleased with the service and the automated notifications are very helpful. Thanks for doing a top notch job! read more

Estabrook cleared our driveway, then sure enough the town of Truckee plow came by and left a HUGE berm completely blocking our driveway. As I was preparing to go out to remove the berm Estabrook came by a second time and quickly removed the berm! It looks great! Estabrook does a fantastic job. I can't thank them enough! read more

I cannot recommend Estabrook enough! I decided to take a chance with them during their first season (after being so disappointed with my prior service from Elements) -- I AM SO GLAD I DID! It was a big snow season. On days where my neighbors were still waiting for their plow service, my driveway was already cleared. Estabrook also came back to clear berms left behind once the street was cleared. With Estabrook's updates and notifications, I always knew what to expect and knew when my driveway going to be cleared. I highly recommend Estabrook. They are responsive, respectful, and always answer the phone! Thanks for the great 22'-23' winter season! read more

Estabrook - Operator Zach did a great job with my driveway! - Snow Removal Near Me

We switched to Estabrook for snow removal services this year and we are very glad we did. Their customer service has far exceeded our expectations. After a recent snow event we noticed that the glass in one of our outdoor light fixtures was broken. I brought this to the attention of Estabrook and they went above and beyond to replace the glass in the broken fixture but also in the other light so they would match. They were very responsive and we really appreciated that they not only covered the cost of repair but performed the repair so we didn't have to do anything. Thank you Estabrook! read more

Estabrook snow removal is fantastic! Ii live in Tahoe Donner and this past winter we had a lot of snow and they have never disappointed me. They are very responsive, and friendly in communication. They send out emails and text msg before they clean your drive way. When it is done you receive an other text stating it is done. They always come by to take care of the berm left by the town of Truckee. Absolutely no complaints about Estabrook I will use them again next year. Thanks Estabrook!!! read more

Absolutely the best plow service in Tahoe Donner. The owners are kind, thoughtful, respectful, and diligent about their service and taking care of their customers. They actually think about when they are going to plow driveways to coincide with the heaviest snow and town berms. And they communicate this information to their customer so there is no guessing games as to if or when they will plow. The communication is top notch with emails and texts. You really couldn't ask for a better plow service and I'm truly grateful for all their hard work and diligence through this tough, long winter season. Thank you Estabrook and I look forward to being a long time customer. Anyone who chooses this plow company will not go wrong. THE BEST and MOST AMAZING SERVICE you will find. read more

These guys have been so amazing! They kept us in great shape through a crazy winter, going above and beyond to clear extra snow and come back around for berms when other companies who service our street were definitely not doing the same. And on top of great service, their communication system is excellent - between texts and emails you'll always know when your driveway will be cleared so you can plan your day. 100% will use again. read more

Excellent plowing service. Best price in Tahoe Donner.i Only issue is reaching someone at their office

I have leaved in Tahoe Donner since 1983. I have used three snow removal companies during those many years. This year i signup with Estabrook and they are by far the most efficient in clearing my driveway.than the other two companies I have used . Why do I rate them so high: 1. They tell you when and what driver cleaned the drive. 2. They do an excellent job clearing the snow right up to the pole markers. 3. They do a great job clearing the snow close to the garage door. This is very important. So when the driveway is plowed I have very little snow to remove in front of the garage door. 4. Their service cost less than their competitors. 5. They have a system that allows you to inform them if it is alright to plow your driveway latter if you do not need it plowed first thing. This allows them to plow driveway for people who have to get out in heavy snow storms. 6. They do not charge you extra if we have a heavy winter and your driveway has to be plowed over a certain number times which could add 100s of dollars to your bill. 7. If you are not home they have a system to inform them that your driveway can be skipped which again allows more time in a heavy snow storm to keep the important driveway cleared. So you can see why I rate them so high. They deserve very bit of 5 stars. read more

We just switched over to Estabrook this year, and I could not be happier... They have a system that allows you to be notified when they're on the way so that you can move your car and your driveway can be plowed, plus they do a much better job than other services we've had... their employee went way out of his way to help me this morning, and I so appreciated it! read more

Great communication and that did an awesome job on a heavy snow year!

I highly recommend Estabrook. They did a great job through this season of record snowfall. They send emails and texts explaining when they are going to plow. They text when they have plowed. They come back around to clear the berms left by the city plows - no one has ever done that before. read more

We've used other snow removal companies over the past 30 years and decided to try Estabrook for Winter 2022-2023. All we can say is that we were very impressed and so glad we chose this company especially given the incredible winter we had. They were professional, communicated well and we were confident we going to be able to get out of our driveway each morning! We highly recommend them. read more

I am so glad I gave Estabrook a try this past season; they were incredible. Service was amazing, they made sure we could get out of our driveway whenever there were more than a few inches of snow and would pay attention to the town of Truckee's snow plow schedule so they'd clear berms. Great communication - huge fan of everyone there. Will be using them again. read more

We took a chance on this new snow removal company and we didn't regret it for one moment. Estabrook was professional, excellent in communication, and completely reliable! We were able to get to work every morning, and they even came back consistently to get the berms the town left! We really can't say enough positive things about our experience this year with Estabrook. So glad they jumped into the snow removal offerings! We will be signing up again for next year without hesitation. read more

We switched snow removal services to Estabrook this year and what a year it was! Estabrook did a fantastic job. They kept us informed about when they expected to plow by email and text and ALWAYS came when they said they would. They kept an eye on when the Truckee plows were coming so that they could remove any berms that the City plows created. I really liked that they explained their the timing for when to plow. We will definitely continue to use Estabrook for our plowing service. read more

This is the first year Estabrook went into snow removal service, and I can't say enough on how professional and reliable they were especially during this very difficult past winter. I loved all the text updates and communication they provided. It was helpful for me to know what to expect. They were awesome! read more

1st winter in TD and what a winter it was! Tim and Zach at Estabrook made it possible. I work in snow removal and know exactly how difficult this year was. Tim's system of notification made it possible for me to get to work every time. I was never more than 10 minutes late for work, and that is saying something. If I had to rely on the other companies up here, there were days when I never would have gotten to work. Straight up, these guys are the only choice for TD snow removal. Total professionals. I can't say enough good things about their performance. Mike K read more
