Do heated roof cables prevent ice damming?

• <div><p>Yes, and they do it exceptionally well. Heated roof cables have two purposes: melting snow and preventing ice buildup. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-causes-ice-dams.htm">Ice damming</a> <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-prevent-ice-dams.htm">happens when ice forms on the roof</a> (usually where the roof meets the gutter) and melts stubbornly slowly, causing moisture to enter the roof itself and, therefore, the home. </p></div>

What is the best way to remove snow from driveways?

• <div><p>The best way to remove snow from driveways is to use a two- or three-stage <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/snow-blower-vs-power-brush.htm">snow blower</a>, which has the power to clear snow in a matter of minutes. Don’t forget to consider helpful options, such as a snow thrower, wheelbarrow plow, leaf blower, and hiring a professional snow removal company to clear off your driveway. </p></div>

Q: How much weight can a roof take from snow?

• <div><p>Most roofs can take quite a bit of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-how-much-snow-can-your-roof-hold.htm">weight from snow</a>, but their ability to handle heavy snow is not unlimited. Most roofs can handle about 20 pounds per cubic foot of fresh snow. Ice, ice dams, and other factors can contribute to dangerous roof weight. Newer roofs, sloped roofs, and those that have more support can hold more snow than older roofs, flat roofs, and roofs with widely spaced beams. To figure out how much snow your roof can hold, you will need to contact a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/roofing/">professional roofing contractor</a> to calculate the maximum snow load for your specific roof.</p></div>

Q: How do you start a snowblower after sitting?

• <div><p>Before firing up your snowblower, ensure that essential switches are in the correct starting position. Take a moment to double-check the throttle, fuel shut-off, and choke, ensuring they're firmly set to the &quot;on&quot; position. Precision in verifying each switch's alignment is crucial, so don't rush through this critical step.</p></div>

Q: What services are included in snow removal?

• <div><p>Services include plowing, shoveling, salting, and de-icing for parking lots, walkways, and entrances.</p></div>

They did a good job with a few exceptions. They did not remove wallpaper where they cut holes to route wires, and then they put mud on top of the wallpaper. I had to fix that before I could paint. Clean up was not very thorough, either. But overall, they were quick and did an otherwise good job.
