About J.R.Gerrish & Sons, LLC

Twenty miles from the ocean, Alfred gets the heavy kind of snow — wet, dense, the sort that leans the pines out over the Shaker Pond road. J.R.Gerrish & Sons, LLC plows through it: driveways and lots opened, walks shoveled, sand and salt down where the grade runs toward the street. Route 4 climbs and falls all through town, and every drive off it has its own opinion about drainage and ice. The work gets done in the dark and judged in daylight, which seems fair enough. A drive opened wide, the piles carried clear of the turnaround, before anyone's first cup of coffee — that is what a February morning ought to look like.
