About AllType Services

When a nor'easter comes up the Chesapeake, Essex gets the wet, heavy kind of snow — the sort that leans on a shovel and hides ice underneath. AllType Services runs those nights, plowing driveways and lots along the Eastern Boulevard blocks and out through the side streets while the town sleeps under it. Salt goes down on sloped aprons and shaded walks, where melt refreezes hardest around four in the morning. Clearing a path to a door is a small thing right up until it is the only thing between someone and their shift. By sunrise, with bay fog moving in behind the storm, the pavement is dark and wet and open.
