Kalkaska sits high and cold in the middle of the northern lower peninsula, where US-131 and M-72 cross and the snow does not so much fall as accumulate. EFS Building Services works the dark end of those nights, plowing lots, clearing entrances and stairs, and spreading salt and sand so the first car in finds pavement. Buildings need their doors reachable before the day starts, and that deadline is the job. Drifting is the local problem — open ground, a steady wind, a lot that fills back in behind you — so the work means going around again. Snow removal for properties in the village and out across the county.
