What is the best way to remove snow from driveways?

• <div><p>The best way to remove snow from driveways is to use a two- or three-stage <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/snow-blower-vs-power-brush.htm">snow blower</a>, which has the power to clear snow in a matter of minutes. Don’t forget to consider helpful options, such as a snow thrower, wheelbarrow plow, leaf blower, and hiring a professional snow removal company to clear off your driveway. </p></div>

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>

Q: Is ice dam removal covered by insurance?

• <div><p>You should check with your insurance provider, but generally, ice dam removal is not covered by insurance, as it&rsquo;s considered a preventable issue. However, damage from ice dams may be covered by your policy, including roof collapses. In the case of leaks, your belongings may or may not be covered. If you can&rsquo;t find specific information on ice dam removal in your policy, give the insurance company a call and find out.</p></div>

Q: What can I use to make my driveway less slippery if I don’t have a deicer?

• <div><p>If a big freeze catches you by surprise and you don&rsquo;t have any deicer to hand, you can reduce the chance of taking a tumble by laying gritty, anti-slip materials. Some natural, readily-available options that don&rsquo;t melt ice but offer traction underfoot include sand, wood shavings, kitty litter, and fireplace ash.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to remove snow from my sidewalk and driveway?

• <div><p>In most municipalities, snow removal is compulsory in public spaces, including the sidewalk in front of your house, so you need to remove snow there. You could face fines for failure to clear your sidewalk in a timely manner&mdash;usually within 24 hours of the snowfall stopping. More importantly, your sidewalk needs to be safe for pedestrians to use, and you could face legal issues if someone slips on your sidewalk because you failed to clear it. Sidewalk removal services might seem expensive, but they&rsquo;re well worth it to avoid these issues.</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...

Good. Just wish they would have included some hvac work - like sealing up the seams - being that the insulation was removed.

We recently bought our home, and the home inspector completely missed that the roof was in utter disrepair. We literally had a leak not 8 hours after closing. We took several bids for a new roof from different roofing companies. After speaking with Jack, the owner I was sold on Carlon. He is the...

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...

Was very pleased with the work done. Was a small hiccup when a worker forgot to replace a piece of rotted sill. But the very next morning the company owner himself came over to inspect it and made sure the window was removed and the wood replaced, before re-installing the window. It seemed...
