When you sign up for winter services with TILCO Vanguard you are on a sequential route, in a specific order. We will get to your site as fast as we can. No “out of sequence” changes to the route is allowed. If things get a bit wild, we will be there in the quickest possible manner, putting the safety of our team first and foremost.
*Quotes are based on site accessibility (including ease of surrounding neighborhood roadway access) and a “per move-in” basis — due to the unpredictability of snow in the Seattle area, we bill each time snow events occur mandating our services.
“On Call” winter services are not available.

Is winter 2024 the BIG year? DON’T GET STUCK!
Winter is officially here and this year is a year full of surprises. As of this writing (01/03/24) we’re looking at a fairly large event heading our way on 01/11 – 23/24. It’s not what was expected for an El Nino year but, here it comes nonetheless.
At TILCO Vanguard we’re prepared to handle whatever comes our (and your) way. We have enough sand to handle a Snowpocalypse and enough deicer to cover any temperature range thrown at us.
We’re ready for anything.
Call (425) 483-5700 or email us to get a quote for your property. Get locked in before October 15th (routes close out on November 1st. No additions to the route will be made after that date) and scheduled to ensure the safest of winters for you, your tenants and guests.
Need a crew out RIGHT NOW and you’re not on our established routing system already? (20% surcharge for non-route service)…call our emergency numbers: 206 650 6126 or 206 510 5700.
TILCO Vanguard has it all, and we’ll get it done.
Our Customers Say It Best
“Thanks Jon for your snow reports. Because of your report I put the plow on the truck Monday night. We got an inch starting at 6:30 AM to 7:30 AM. After using the plow on Fortuna hill for an hour the snow started melting as it warmed. Your heads up definitely helped the campus prepare for this event. If I had relied on AccuWeather I would not have been prepared.”
“…I’ve had the pleasure of working with TILCO Vanguard for the past four (4) years, and unlike that of many vendors, their service has actually improved over time. I am continually impressed with their responsiveness, ability to create solutions, and overall care for our properties. I regularly feel as if I’m their only client…My advice to other property managers: Hire TILCO Vanguard, and let them do what they know how to do best.”
“…Your product has held up very well in the past six months. When I was on site recently, all domes were intact and there was no sign of the color fading. Your product still looks like it was installed yesterday…”
