About William S. Sanford, Inc.

Down along Bay Street the boats sit hauled out and shrink-wrapped all winter, a row of white shapes above the basin. William S. Sanford, Inc. plows the streets behind them — short drives that pitch down toward the water, walkways that ice where the runoff crosses, tight turnarounds that make a plow driver earn it. Snow near the harbor rarely stays powder; it goes to slush and then to glass, so it wants moving early and moving again. Opening a driveway that drops toward the water takes a light hand and a plan, and getting it right never stops being satisfying. By the time the town is awake, the route looks like nothing happened at all — which is exactly the point.
