There’s nothing like a Canadian winter to put snow plowing companies to the test. Since 2008, Monster Plowing Company has risen to the challenge, becoming one of the premier sources of seasonal snow and ice removal for over 500 properties
throughout the Greater Toronto Area.
“Snow and ice maintenance can present a huge problem to property owners everywhere, so Monster Plowing Company is designed to alleviate all of the stress that winter can bring,” says Mikhail Evgrafov, president and CEO, Sr. Operations, Lead Logistics, with the company.
Monster Plowing Company has made significant inroads with GTA property owners over the past 14 years. Beyond being the first company to exclusively use an environmentally friendly Green Ice Melter that is almost 90% less corrosive than traditional road salt and much safer for the environment, it is the only company of its kind to offer unlimited, all-inclusive, flat-rate, guaranteed seasonal snow and ice management contracts.
“Our contracts offer full seasonal coverage with absolutely no accumulation caps or pricing fluctuations, multiple visits to maintain optimal site conditions, and the industry’s lowest automatic service trigger of only just one centimetre of snow,” explains Evgrafov. “Our ratio of trucks and staff to clients enables our team to deliver an unrivalled level of attention to all of our contracted clients.”
Bringing tech to the road
It takes innovation to stay ahead of the pack. For Monster Plowing Company, that means using a proprietary operational software system developed and maintained by Monster’s dedicated in-house tech department. The system combines GPStracking, live field video surveillance, automatic dispatch, and computerized routing to provide the
team with full control over Toronto’s largest privatelyowned armada of snow and ice removal equipment, and help the company operate at peak efficiency and
sustainability.
“We created this system to achieve unparalleled control of even the most extraordinary winter weather conditions, and our in-house mechanical department keeps our expansive fleet of 60-plus trucks up and running for any challenge,” Evgrafov notes. “This is why over 500 of Toronto’s most prestigious, busiest homes, residential complexes, and businesses small to large trust Monster to take care of their winter needs.”
“To our customers, Monster means absolute peace of mind,” he adds. “To Monster, the absolute peace of mind of our customers means a job well done.”
Industry accolades
Monster Plowing Company has carved a respected name among its peers. Over the years, it has been honoured with multiple awards and recognitions by the Snow and Ice Management Association (SIMA). For example, members of its management staff have earned SIMA’s Employee of the Year, Operations Manager of the Year, CEO of the Year, and three separate All-Star of Snow and Ice awards.
Independent of SIMA, Monster has been named by its community as Toronto’s Best Snow and Ice Removal Service in the Consumer’s Choice Award (CCA) for eight consecutive years, beginning with its first win in 2015.
“Staying at the forefront of our industry is always our number one priority, and we are proud to be recognized for the outstanding level of winter maintenance services that our company provides,” adds Evgrafov.
Monster’s approach as an employer has also garnered industry attention. This year, the team was recognized by SIMA with the 2022 award for Best Snow & Ice Companies to Work For. This, Evgrafov, is owed to its focus on rewarding exceptional work ethic, promoting from within, a sense of strong community and diversity in its workforce of “snowfighters,” which can rise to 125 crew members during peak winter operations, “As a company, our first priority is to ensure a well-supplied and resourced crew so that they benefit from a strong support network and can complete our work to the best of their abilities,” says Evgrafov.
“This strongly engrained team dynamic is why so many people are able to call themselves a Monster snowfighter, and why our team boasts the highest employee retention rate in the industry.”
Clearing a path
Monster Plowing Company has much to celebrate on the eve of its 15th anniversary. And thanks to its award-winning approach, the team is eager to face whatever comes next.
”Monster Plowing Company is always pushing the status quo. Hence, our dedication to our staff, operations, equipment, and the future-forward technological development of our industry has been vital to our company’s success,” says Evgrafov.
