Q: How much does hiring a pro to melt ice cost?

• <div><p>Snow removal services cost between <b>$50 and $200</b>, depending on the type and size of the job. Ice-melting services are often offered alongside snow removal and other winter maintenance scheduling. You can contact a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/snow-removal/">local snow removal service</a> to ask about rates in your area, and if they offer residential removal services.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to pay for snow removal?

• <div><p>In most cases, it&rsquo;s worth it to pay for professional snow removal. You can shovel the snow yourself, but it&rsquo;s very labor-intensive and puts you at risk of injury or illness by performing exhausting manual labor in slippery conditions. Paying a professional removes that risk and saves you time and energy. Depending on your agreement, you could wake up to a cleared driveway and a car that&rsquo;s ready to drive rather than have to get up early to do the work yourself.</p></div>

Q: Can snow be too heavy for a snow blower?

• <div><p>Snow can be too heavy for a snow blower and cause clogs in the chute. However, having the correct type of blower for the snow conditions can reduce the chances of it being too heavy for it to handle. Another trick for preventing clogs is to make multiple passes while it snows rather than waiting for it to finish snowing. </p></div>

Q: Does vinegar melt ice on driveways?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re struggling to find anything else suitable in your cupboards, a vinegar and water ice melt makes for a passable quick fix. Just don&rsquo;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.</p></div>
