"Highly satisfied with Crystal Lake's work for snow removal. There were areas of the driveway that could have been clearer, but I can't fault Mike for that because we weren't home the first time he came by to do the job, and our driveway/parking area is oddly shaped. The hill was very well done, and the sidewalks and walkways exceeded expectations. Communicating with Mike was very easy. Definitely recommend this service."

"Fantastic! Dave Brodowski and his crew were professional and friendly. They worked long hours to get the work done. Dave and his crew removed the old shingles, placed a coating on the bare roof, and put down new shingles. They cleaned up multiple times each day. They used a remote cart with an extendable slide. Dave let us know about any issues with the bare roof. The new roof looks fantastic! I would recommend them to anyone."

"After reading their good reviews, we called ASG Seamless Gutters, and received an appointment for an estimate (which was free) right away.  Two gentlemen arrived right on time for the appointment (no four-hour window of waiting).  They were shown the insurance appraisal for the repair.  After taking measurements and assessing the damage, we were given an estimate that was $425 less than the appraisal.  We scheduled an appointment for one week later.  Because a storm was expected on the day of the appointment, they rescheduled for the day before the original appointment.  Two gentlemen arrived the day of the appointment as scheduled.  On the day the estimate was given, we were told the work would take 2 1/2 to 3 hours.  The work was completed and all of the old gutters were removed in exactly 2 hours.  The amount of the estimate was the amount we paid.

"I hired Caring Contractors to power wash my parents house in Killingworth. The siding was covered in algae, and filth. Caring contractors came when they said they would, did the job as they said they would, and the house looks great now. I’ll hire them again if it needs it again in the future for sure."

Snow Removal questions, answered by experts

Heavy amounts of snow could be a problem. In many climates, lots of snow on your rooftop can lead to freeze-thaw cycle that create ice dams, which can damage rooftops. But if you’re using shingle clips, this snow poses an additional problem: As it melts and freezes, it can easily dislodge clips you’ve placed on your roof.

You can clean snow off your roof after a fresh snowfall while it’s still lightweight, but brushing off snow can also dislodge your clips. If you get a lot of snow, then roof clips become less viable.

Snowblowers come in three different sizes: first-, second-, and third-stage blowers. Each additional stage is larger with higher intakes, more powerful, and has more gear options.

A first-stage blower, also called a snow thrower, is usually best for snow 6 to 8 inches or below. Electric snow blowers are usually only available in this size. If you regularly get snow that’s well above six inches, consider a second-stage snow blower. If snowstorms dump 2 to 3 feet of snow repeatedly during winter, you need a third-stage snow blower to tackle it.

Yes, but it works best with lightweight snowblowers, the single-stage models or electric versions. Also, you need to have a rubberized intake edge on the ground and preferably rubberized auger paddles, not a metal version. Otherwise you may chip or damage the surface as you work. When it doubt, let the snow lie.

You can also use a snow blower on leveled gravel, but only if you carefully adjust the intake height so it doesn’t kick up the gravel and turn it into flying missiles.

DIY snow removal is entirely free, except for the cost of a shovel. However, it may not always be the best option for large driveways and areas with heavy snowfall; it’s strenuous work and can take a long time. Other wallet-friendly ways to remove snow include rock salt, hot water, a de-icing agent, or a leaf blower. 

That depends on the size of your snow blower and how efficiently it uses fuel. Most snow blowers will last between 1 and 2 hours on a full tank of gas. Larger blowers tend to use fuel more quickly and need refilling more often.

Keep in mind, the average snow blowing project for a home driveway takes around 30 minutes. Large driveways and yards will take around an hour. A full tank of gas should be more than enough for snow removal, although the height of the snowfall will have an effect, too.
