How long does a snowblower run on a full tank?

• <div><p>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.</p><p>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.</p></div>

What is the cheapest way to remove snow?

• <div><p>DIY snow removal is entirely free, except for the cost of a shovel. However, it may not always be the best option for large driveways and areas with heavy snowfall; it’s strenuous work and can take a long time. Other wallet-friendly ways to remove snow include rock salt, hot water, a de-icing agent, or a leaf blower. </p></div>

Q: Can I use a snow blower on a deck or patio?

• <div><p>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.</p><p>You can also use a snow blower on leveled gravel, but only if you carefully adjust the intake height so it doesn&rsquo;t kick up the gravel and turn it into flying missiles.</p></div>

Q: Is a snow blower better than shoveling?

• <div><p>Using a snow blower can make removing snow easier if you have physical limitations and a large area to cover. Snow blowers can remove large amounts of snow quickly, which can also save you time. However, shoveling can be efficient for smaller areas with light snow. The method you use will depend on the specific situation and your preference. Of course, you can skip doing it yourself and stay out of the cold by <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/snow-removal/">hiring a snow removal company near you.</a> </p></div>

Q: Does insurance cover roof damage from snow?

• <div><p>Yes, some <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-get-know-your-homeowners-insurance.htm">homeowners insurance policies</a> cover roof damage caused by snow. However, these full or partial payouts can vary depending on the age of your roof and other related factors, like the overall condition it was in before the snowfall. It&rsquo;s best to check with your specific homeowners insurance policy to determine snow damage coverage and exclusions. </p></div>

Awesome. Our attic insulation was disturbed and mashed down during a recent remodel. It really wasn’t all that great prior to the remodel. We hired attic experts and they resealed around all lights, vents, etc… and then blew in a ton of insulation to R-60 specs. My attic now looks like a...

They did a good job drying out the crawl space and removing the mold. However, they did not adequately fix the hole they cut into my bathroom floor. They never stopped in daily to check on the progress as they said they would. And, when they charged my credit card, they overcharged me by more...

The roof was put on quickly, but old roof was supposed to be removed first, which it was not. There is water damage on the ceiling in 3 rooms that he said he would fix. I have called him 6 times and emailed without a response. This is now December and I have not heard back from him.

We took down the vent hood & put it in the garage for painting. The workman came at the precise time we'd agreed upon. We had put Kraft paper under the hood to protect the floor, but he was careful enough to lay down even more. There was absolutely NO mess & the hood looks like new. After...
