Snow Business

Maine’s snowy winters provide special challenges for Art Bibeau, President of Bibeau & Company. He manages more than 20 high profile commercial proper-ties around Portland. Because many of the properties are medical offices, snow removal is critical. That’s why Bibeau hired Seabreeze Property Services as their snowplowing contractor. Many of Bibeau’s properties have what is known as a zero tolerance policy for snow and ice, meaning that the parking lots and walkways have to be passable and safe. He depends on Seabreeze’s high standards and counts on the horsepower of their well-trained staff and stable of specialized equipment to get the job done right. No matter the time of day—or night—one call to Seabreeze gets action. Bibeau particularly likes the fact that Seabreeze owners, brothers Pete and John Kelly, are “hands on” professional managers who meet with clients and take their business seriously.


Part of the Community

As the Community Manager of Taymil, Holly Merrill manages three apartment communities in Yarmouth. Since she took over the reigns as manager more than 7 years ago, she has relied on the team at Seabreeze Property Services to maintain the landscape surrounding the 363 units. Through the years, her trust in the talent of Seabreeze has grown and Merrill now calls upon Seabreeze to manage and install projects throughout the complexes including construction of patios, new garden construction and paving projects. As the decision maker, her bottom line is that they do a good job: they know what they are doing and they get it done—just the way Merrill likes it.

Critical Care

For more than a decade Mercy Hospital and its affiliate properties have relied on Seabreeze Property Services’ comprehensive package of year-round services to maintain the exteriors of Mercy facilities including plowing snow; sanding; sweeping; mowing; landscape construction; pavement repair and maintenance; striping; and landscaping. By contracting with Seabreeze, Mercy saves money—particularly on staffing. Maintaining a round-the-clock operation like a medical facility can be expensive, but Mercy knows that Seabreeze is their “third shift” on call 24/7/365 and are ready when the snow flies. In the summer the grounds sparkle with a trim lawn, plantings and flowers thanks to Seabreeze.
