About C & J Services

Audubon's courthouse square still anchors the town, brick storefronts squared around it, and C & J Services works those Main Street sidewalks and lots before the first shop lights come on. A clean scrape around the square matters in a town this size — everyone walking to the diner or the bank crosses that same stretch of pavement, so leaving it icy isn't really an option. The crew works out from downtown to the driveways on the residential streets nearby, reading each storm for whether it's the kind of dry powder that blows clear on its own or the wet, heavy kind that has to be muscled off. Audubon County's open farmland gives the wind a long, clean run at the town, and a driveway plowed at 6 a.m. can need a second pass by 9 if the gusts are bad enough. Getting the square and the streets around it clear before the courthouse opens for the day is a small, steady kind of satisfaction.
