"Laser Cut was great from the initial meeting all the way to the end of our project. We hired them to revamp our front landscaping as well as install an outdoor living area in the backyard with a new patio and fire pit. The 3D design was very detailed which assured us that the final product was going to be exactly what we wantedâ ¦ and it was! We will definitely be using them for our next outdoor project."

"Mr. Barnes was punctual, professional, and answered all questions clearly. Offered suggestions and a variety of shingle choices. This is definitely a company to contact when you're looking for a new roof - very professional! I'll contact them for quotes in the future with other projects. Hired another company, solely due to price difference."

Snow Removal questions, answered by experts

You can use hot water to melt ice from your driveway, but there are some serious caveats. Very hot water can quickly melt ice and remove it, which is helpful if you’re very short on time and need a solution ASAP. However, it will only work across a small area, after which there’s a chance the water will freeze again. The sudden clash of temperatures is dangerous for fragile materials, notably windows and other glass, so you’ll want to keep the water away from your car.

A common mistake is you can let snow melt naturally in a window well. However, snow buildup in the well can damage your window frames and walls. The melting snow also poses risks of water damage as it may leak through into the basement. It’s important to shovel snow out of your window wells before too much snow is piled in there.

Schedule regular snow removal, apply salt or sand to icy areas, and mark hazards like curbs or drains.

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.

It is a bad idea to try to walk on a roof with snow on it. In fact, you should stay off your roof all year long, even when it is dry and sunny outside. There are too many things that can go wrong, and one misstep can cause serious injury or even death.

Rather, if you need to get something done on your roof, call in a pro. They have the right experience and know-how to get things done safely on a snowy roof, including snow removal.
