"Mr Mendez came to my house and I explained what I would like to have done. He suggested a few more item that I agreed to and then he gave me a reasonable quote. He was on time with his crew and the job was very well done and all debris removed. I will hire him again in the spring to do some more work."

"I've had a couple contractors come and analyze what I wanted done. 1 contractor wanted to start the project in February which is harder to do and threw a ballpark figure out to me of $30k. Than sent me an email stating he had guys available in March that could do it for $10k. That was sketchy to me. Another contractor from this site came out and wanted to do less than what I wanted and didn't want to crawl under the porches to do the job because they was only 36" of head space. His quote was ridiculously low. Henry came out, listened to exactly what I wanted done. We went over the whole scope of the job and it definitely wasn't no small job. He said it's probably going to be around X amount which I had already planned for prior. He emailed me a quote within 24 hours and I accepted it, I'm glad I went with his company because they were there every day for basically 2 weeks from 8am-4pm doing the job. Great work and I'm very satisfied. The uploaded pictures include before and after"

"Roberto’s did a fantastic job! I would highly recommend them. They were responsive and even came by on the same day to review the project. Jose was attentive to our wishes and made some insightful suggestions that we absolutely agreed with. His team came the very next day to remove the grass that had died during our exterior remodel. They thoroughly prepared the yard and took care not to disturb our existing plants. They approached the work thoughtfully and carefully. They then came back and did a masterful job of installing sod, cobblestone edging, and gravel installation into our planter beds. The yard looks amazing and we were thrilled with their work. I’d definitely bring them back to do any further work needed."

"Provider did everything I asked for and was very attentive to my needs. Provider was more than happy to come back for any finishing touches. The work done was excellent, and I would recommend them, both with landscaping and snow removal. General yard clean-up was great. Snow removed to my exacting specifications. I am picky about my snow removal, and Ruiz landscaping delivers!"

Snow Removal questions, answered by experts

When starting the engine, you typically leave the choke on a snowblower in the "choke" or "closed" position. After starting, let the engine run for a few minutes to warm up. Then, gradually open the choke, moving it to the "open" or "run" position, allowing more air into the engine and transitioning to a normal fuel-air mixture. The exact duration varies based on the snowblower model and ambient temperature, but as a general rule, you should open the choke once the engine has stabilized and runs smoothly, typically within a few minutes.

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—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’re well worth it to avoid these issues.

In most cases, it’s worth it to pay for professional snow removal. You can shovel the snow yourself, but it’s very labor-intensive and puts you at risk of injury or illness by performing exhausting manual labor in slippery conditions. Paying a professional removes that risk and saves you time and energy. Depending on your agreement, you could wake up to a cleared driveway and a car that’s ready to drive rather than have to get up early to do the work yourself.

While it’s less common than on other kinds of roofs, yes, ice dams can form on metal roofs. Metal roofs, particularly those with snow guards installed, can still accumulate ice at the roof edge, although ice dams on metal roofs are less likely to cause roof or interior damage than on traditional asphalt shingle roofs.

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.
