Joe's Odd Jobs

About Joe's Odd Jobs

Some snow work is measured in feet, not acres — the front steps, the path to the mailbox, the strip of sidewalk a village expects to find clear. Joe's Odd Jobs handles that scale in Ridgewood: shoveling walkways, steps and porches, breaking open the plow ridge at the end of a driveway, digging out cars, and putting salt where ice keeps returning. January comes dark early here and stays dark late, so much of it happens by porch light and headlamp. Storms that keep going get a return visit before morning. There is a particular satisfaction in a set of steps you can walk down without thinking about it.
