About Stewart Contracting

Three in the morning, storm still going, and the lots along the river flats are blank white sheets under the sodium lights. Stewart Contracting works that hour, plowing lots, drives and access lanes around Aliquippa so that by six the pavement is open and the day can happen normally. Snow here is often the wet, heavy kind that comes up the Ohio valley and sets like mortar if it is left to sit, which is why the first pass matters more than the last. Entrances and walks get taken down to the surface, and the piles go where they will not cause trouble at thaw. The measure of a good night is that nobody arriving in the morning has any idea what it took.
