What is the best snow removal tool for a deck?

• <div><p>Snowblowers are some of the best tools for snow removal because they remove large amounts of snow quickly without bodily harm or damaging your deck. If your snowblower can fit on your deck, it’s a good first line of defense to remove snow quickly and easily. If you don’t have a snowblower, a plastic shovel with a rubber blade is another good choice to remove snow on a deck.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you leave snow on your roof?

• <div><p>You may be wondering if you really need the snow removed from your roof. Since most roofs can only handle 20 pounds per square foot of snow accumulation, there is a tipping point when you are suddenly at risk of roof collapse. This can cause a lot of damage, not just to your home, but to your belongings, too. It also poses a physical danger to your family. Also, a lot of snow on a roof makes it more susceptible to ice dams, leaks, and water damage.</p></div>

Q: Should you let your snow blower warm up?

• <div><p>Yes&mdash;in fact, it&rsquo;s an important step in <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-start-snowblower.htm">how to start a snow blower</a>. Allowing the engine to idle for a few minutes prior to using a snow blower helps it reach its optimal operating temperature, which gets the fuel running properly, improves its performance, and helps prevent stalling during frigid weather. </p></div>

Q: Is an annual snow removal contract worth it?

• <div><p>Whether or not an annual snow removal contract is worth it depends mainly on location. If you live in an area with frequent heavy snowfall, a yearly contract could be better than paying per clearing. If you live in an area where it only snows a few times a year, paying per snowstorm may be a better option.</p></div>

Q: Are snow blowers worth the cost?

• <div><p>If you live in a cold climate with frequent heavy snowfall, investing in a snow blower may be worth the cost. Another thing to consider when factoring in cost is if you have physical limitations that make shoveling snow difficult or even dangerous. So, you may want to start shopping around for a snow blower if you have either or both of these scenarios. </p></div>

They came early in the morning before my cabinets were installed. They figured out the power source for the lights and removed the wires. They worked quickly and were very kind when the cabinet installers started to work in the very small kitchen.
