About Van Etten Contracting

Snow reaches New Windsor with the Hudson right there beside it — Storm King standing gray across the water, the wind coming up the Moodna and pushing the storm sideways down every open driveway. Van Etten Contracting works those nights with plows and shovels: drives taken down to the pavement, walks and steps opened, salt and sand laid where the river damp turns a slope to glass. Orange County storms rarely stay one thing for long, and a night that starts as snow can finish as rain and then ice, so the passes keep coming until the sky quits. Piles are placed to melt and drain instead of refreezing across the entrance. The reward is simple and repeats all winter — a clear drive at first light, and everybody gets where they are going.
