"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."

"It was okay. It didn't cost more than the "Big Deal" I purchased. His ladder fell to our screened porch. They did fix it but the guy had a real attitude about it. They left all their debris and I didn't like that. They could have been a little more courteous to my wife. They could have cleaned up after themselves. The gutters didn't clog up when it rained. I used them a year before and I had to call them back because they didn't do a downspout. I didn't have a problem with that this time."

"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

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.

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 "on" position. Precision in verifying each switch's alignment is crucial, so don't rush through this critical step.

The best time to hire a snow removal professional is long before snow falls in your area. Signing up for a seasonal contract not only provides peace of mind that your property will be cleared every time it snows, but it’s also often more affordable to sign a contract than paying for one-off services. If you prefer one-off shoveling services, you should contact your snow removal company the day before a storm is expected to schedule service. You can also call the morning of the snowfall, but this might result in delays.

In most cases, it is best to leave icicles on your roof and allow them to melt naturally. You should only remove them if they are heavy enough to cause damage to your home or pose a safety risk to people below. Attempting to remove icicles yourself can be dangerous, so if you are concerned about immediate damage, it is recommended to hire a professional. To prevent icicles from recurring, you should address the underlying cause, which is often poor insulation. Long-term solutions include improving your home's insulation or installing roof heating coils.

It is not advisable to use salt on your roof to prevent or remove ice dams. It’s not only mostly ineffective but can also cause serious damage to your roof itself. Salt can rust metal, damage masonry, pit shingles, and cause runoff that’s damaging to plants and animals.
