About Rick Perkins Contracting

Franklinville sits in the Ischua valley, and by February the snow on the plateau above town is counted in feet rather than inches. Plowing starts when the storm does rather than waiting it out, so driveways are opened, banks are pushed back, and the turnaround is kept wide enough to still be useful in March. Wind on the high ground can rebuild a drift across a lane in twenty minutes, so the route comes back around. Walks are shoveled and salted, because in a valley that holds its cold, ice sets fast and stays put. There is real satisfaction in a black driveway under a white sky while the storm is still coming down.
