A nor'easter announces itself in Hackensack hours ahead of the snow — wind coming up the open ground of the Meadowlands, the sky over Anderson Street going flat and low, the trains quieter than usual. That is when Top Pro Construction and Roof Repair LLC starts its night. Plowing, shoveling and salting through the dark, they work the driveways and lots so the pavement is bare and gritty by the time the storm lets go and the first alarm clocks ring. There is something satisfying about standing at the end of a cleared drive at daybreak, snowbanks squared off, black asphalt steaming faintly in the cold. Homes and businesses across Hackensack, Maywood and Lodi get the same treatment, storm after storm, all winter.
