Hoskins Exteriors

About Hoskins Exteriors

Before the courthouse clock in downtown Clarinda strikes seven, Hoskins Exteriors has already scraped a clean path along the brick side streets that ring the square. Page County mornings arrive slow and gray in January, the kind of cold that sinks into the Nodaway valley overnight and won't loosen until a blade cuts through it. Watching headlights catch a driveway scraped down to bare concrete, while the rest of the block still wears its white coat, never gets old. The crew works the same streets Glenn Miller once walked as a boy, clearing steps and walkways so neighbors can get out the door without a second thought. By the time the sun clears the grain elevators east of town, the routes are finished and the square is ready for the day.
