Q: What's the best way to melt ice without damaging concrete?

• <div><p>Natural ice melts can often get the job done without damaging concrete. You can try non-corrosive options such as kitty litter, alfalfa meal, coffee grounds, sugar beet juice, and heated snow-melting mats. While they may cause some staining, these natural melts are safe for concrete, pets, and the environment.</p></div>

Q: Does knocking down icicles help ice dams?

• <div><p>Knocking down icicles won&rsquo;t help prevent ice dams, as the dams form on the bottoms of your roof slopes and not on the gutters themselves. However, removing icicles can reduce the risk of injury if they form over heavily trafficked areas, and it can help prevent permanent damage to your gutters. Just be sure to wear safety equipment and always stay on the ground while knocking them down.</p></div>

Q: Are there scheduling flexibility options for removal services?

• <div><p>Yes, many companies offer convenient options to accommodate service timing needs.</p></div>

Q: Will salt melt ice overnight?

• <div><p>Whether salt melts ice overnight will depend on how low the temperature drops. If temperatures stay around 30 degrees Fahrenheit, you can count on salt melting ice overnight. Otherwise, the lower temperatures get, the less effective the salt is in melting ice, and the more likely you&rsquo;ll wake up with a slippery driveway the next day. </p><p> </p></div>

I can call them while the snow is still coming down to come out and do my driveway, which is 100 feet long, and they never failed to come out for me. They have different drivers and one of them got out of the truck and made me a path across the yard to my front steps after finishing the driveway...

After speaking with Cory on the phone twice, he came out to give me an estimate for my snow removal needs. He was so very polite and professional. For my driveway and small length of sidewalk it will be $35 dollars each time he comes out to plow. With large snowfalls he said they plow more than...

He was suppose to remove the snow for $20 as we got a neighbor to have theirs done too. Just before the first snow on Dec.8, we called and asked him to wait to do the drive until the plow had been up his street as they were predicting 8" of snow. He then told her it would be double for anything...

They do well on simple jobs. I wouldn't have them work on the furnace again as they didn't seem to understand it correctly. Really good at yard work and snow clearing and simple electrical work.

Mr. Jack Newsom agreed not to plow the snow unless it was over 3 inches, but plowed every time, even if it was only 1 inch. Also said he would keep the gravel out of our yard, but there was a ton of gravel in the yard.

Jon drove down my driveway by mistake, not a problem until he backed his dually snow plow truck over the snow banks along my clean, bare to the pavement, dry, driveway. Now it is unsafe for news paper delivery person, my family and other customers. I told Jon about this and he just drove away. I...

They were not the cheapest bid that I received, but we shopped around quite a bit and I liked dealing with Bob. He seemed like a straight shooter and he was very honest about the bid. I also liked that the company put their job profit on their invoice as a line item. That way, I could see where...
