About Schalk Seamless Gutters

Winter in Ottawa announces itself along the old canal line — the towpath goes white first, then the streets around Washington Square, then everything else at once. Schalk Seamless Gutters turns to snow work when that happens: plowing drives and lots, clearing walks by shovel and blower, and spreading salt where shade keeps ice around all day. The Illinois River valley collects cold in its low places, so a lot that thawed at noon can glaze over by four, and a return visit is often the whole point. There is real satisfaction in black pavement at daybreak, the banks squared off on either side and the walk down the middle bare to the concrete. It is plain work, and it is what lets a February Tuesday start on time.
