"They arrived on time as scheduled. The dirt delivered was excellent quality and not full of large clumps ! It was easy to spread in the yard. I have had dirt delivered in the past, but never the quality of Titan"

"Frederico was fast, thorough, and professional. While other contractors were messaging me back and forth, he scheduled an inspection the same day I reached out and did the work the next day. I had a leak in my roof. He repaired the plywood beneath and covered the gap with fresh tarp and shingles, and placed a new foot on my city power connection to prevent the problem from recurring, for under $400. I will definitely call them for future roof repairs."

"Of the 2 suggested company's for snow removal D and E Outside Services were very prompt in getting back to me on my inquiry (the other company never contacted me). They are reasonably priced and my snow removal looked good when I got back from vacation. I had set up the service for the time I was on vacation and they checked with me the day I was to return as snow was in the forcast to see if I needed them again. Again, they were very prompt in getting back to me and being flexible for future snow removal. Great customer service and would definitely highly recommend them."

Snow Removal questions, answered by experts

Ice dam removal is costly, but it’s absolutely worth it. If you leave an ice dam as is and don’t take care of it, you’re looking at potentially dangerous situations and high-cost repairs—like roof collapse, leaks, mold problems, gutter damage, and more. Removing ice dams is essential to keeping your home and your family safe in the snowy season.

When temperatures drop far enough, even rock salt can’t melt the ice. The briny solution freezes before it develops, and the salt doesn’t work, which happens around 10 to 15 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep in mind that wind chill and other factors impact ice-melting progress. Some ice melters, like magnesium chloride, work at colder temperatures and work better for deep winter freezes.

If you do end up with frozen gutters, it's important to thaw them correctly. Thawing your gutters slowly is far safer than trying to break apart the ice. Once you get through the ice, bring in a gutter professional to check out the effectiveness of your heated system.

Both rock salt and ice melt are naturally occurring salts. Rock salt is sodium chloride, which is the same as table salt. Ice melt products can be made from a combination of salts like magnesium chloride and calcium chloride or can be those salts alone.

Rock salt comes in large crystals, so it helps provide traction on icy surfaces, whereas ice melt products need to be mixed with sand to provide traction. Ice melt products work at lower temperatures than rock salt, so they might be a better choice if you have a harsh winter climate.

Clearing snow from your roof can be a tedious and time-consuming job. Even so, it is extremely important to maintain your roof during the winter months. You can help prevent ice dams and avoid roof collapse.

As a side note, rather than shoveling your roof, you should always use a roof rake to modify the job. Otherwise, call in a professional.
