"Alan came out the same day when I was at my wits end, water bubbling out of the ground for days—and couldn’t find someone to do the work. He did a beautiful job, and was very reasonable. I called him because of the rave reviews here. Well deserved!"
"Did a great job and I was worried about some of the limbs he was cutting falling on the power line, but Alfredo cut all of them without any problem to the line. He did a good job."
"They were not good. They were supposed to come between 9 and 11 and they showed up at 1:30. Then, they left the water running outside. So, it ran for like twelve hours. I was not happy with that. I paid more than the $99 Big Deal. I paid like $212 because I have more linear square-footage of gutter."
"This company did so good on the work i needed done. My house and driveway looks brand new. i highly recommend using this company for your services as they did a great job on mine and i will be coming back and thank you guys again and the job well done!"
"Matt and his team did an excellent job on my property. They trimmed a ton of bushes, transplanted some rose bushes, mulched my leaves, dug up old stumps! They handled everything I threw at them. Very satisfied with their work and I will definitely be using them again!!"
"The staff was on time and polite. I made minor changes during the cleaning process and the staff had no problems with those changes. They were professional and cleaned my home better than me I hate to say. Hahaha."
Both rock salt and ice melt are naturally occurring salts. Rock salt is sodium chloride, which is the same as table salt. Ice melt products can be made from a combination of salts like magnesium chloride and calcium chloride or can be those salts alone.
Rock salt comes in large crystals, so it helps provide traction on icy surfaces, whereas ice melt products need to be mixed with sand to provide traction. Ice melt products work at lower temperatures than rock salt, so they might be a better choice if you have a harsh winter climate.
When it comes to deciding whether a two-stage or three-stage snow blower is better, you must consider the amount of snowfall you get, the size of the area, and your budget.
A three-stage snow blower is more efficient at clearing higher volumes of snow quicker and removing ice build-up. It’s ideal for commercial use and removing snow from large areas. Make sure to compare various types of snow removal equipment to ensure you purchase the one that is best for your needs.
Generally, the cost of ice dam removal is not covered by homeowners insurance because it is often considered preventable maintenance. However, the damage caused by ice dams is frequently covered. Depending on your policy, this can include interior water damage, roof collapses, and damage to shingles. Coverage for personal belongings affected by leaks may vary. It is important to check your policy details or contact your insurer to confirm what your plan covers. Keep in mind that any damage resulting from a DIY attempt to remove an ice dam will likely not be covered.
When temperatures drop far enough, even rock salt can’t melt the ice. The briny solution freezes before it develops, and the salt doesn’t work, which happens around 10 to 15 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep in mind that wind chill and other factors impact ice-melting progress. Some ice melters, like magnesium chloride, work at colder temperatures and work better for deep winter freezes.
If you’re struggling to find anything else suitable in your cupboards, a vinegar and water ice melt makes for a passable quick fix. Just don’t expect it to clear your concrete the way commercial products or rock salt will. Mix equal parts vinegar and warm water and squeegee away the watery slush to prevent more slippery surfaces from forming.
