Up on the Mountain Road side of West Hartford the winter sun works on the rooflines all afternoon, and by evening the eaves are hung with ice and the driveways below have gone slick again. West Hartford Gutter Cleaning knows that thaw-and-freeze rhythm intimately, and in the cold months turns it to snow work: drives plowed open, walks and steps shoveled down clean, and the refreeze zones treated before dusk makes them dangerous. Around here the danger is rarely the storm itself — it's the day after, when everything that melted comes back as glass. Getting ahead of that is careful, unhurried work, done property by property. A clear path from the door to the car is a small thing to give someone, and it never goes unnoticed.
