"Fish’s Services have removed snow for us all winter. Would highly recommend. We receive a text when it has snowed or when snow is expected asking if we would like our driveway/sidewalks done. We really appreciate when they reach out to us when it snows, so it’s one less thing we have to worry about. They do a great job and always show up when expected. Would recommend."

"They were on time, professional, and did great work. Roger always answered his phone when I called. They were scheduled to work one day but it was too wet when the crew got to my house. He said he would come back the next day and he did, right on time. The work was finished later that afternoon."

"His bid was very competitive and I knew from previous experience he would go above and beyond to make sure it was right. 

Mike is easy to work with, answers all your questions clearly and speaks his mind on the best way to do things.  That's something you can't get from a seller contracted crew! 

I recommend Mike unconditionally."

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.

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.

The best snow removal tools include a snowblower or a plastic shovel since they're less likely to damage your driveway's surface. Metal shovels can crack asphalt and concrete. It's also a good idea to install driveway markers since they can make it much easier for you to identify where you should shovel without damaging the surrounding yard. 

There is no hard and fast rule about using a snowblower on a specific amount of inches, but most snow removal experts suggest using one on 2 or more inches of snow for best results. This will also depend on what type of surface you’re working on and whether the snow is dry or wet. 

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.
