Q: Do roof rakes cause ice dams?

• <div><p>Roof raking helps clear snowfall from your roof and, in turn, you hope that this prevents ice dams. But can roof raking actually cause them? Generally, no, it cannot. But you should note that while, in some cases, you might successfully prevent ice dams from forming near the edge of your roof by keeping it cleared with a roof rake, they could still form higher up on the roof, where you are unable to reach. This may leave you wondering: <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-roof-raking-prevent-ice-dams.htm">Does roof raking prevent ice dams</a>? While it is not a 100% guaranteed way to prevent them, it does help.</p></div>

Q: How much does snow removal cost for businesses?

• <div><p>Costs range from $50 to $150 per hour, depending on the property size and service frequency.</p></div>

Q: Can snow be too heavy for a snow blower?

• <div><p>Snow can be too heavy for a snow blower and cause clogs in the chute. However, having the correct type of blower for the snow conditions can reduce the chances of it being too heavy for it to handle. Another trick for preventing clogs is to make multiple passes while it snows rather than waiting for it to finish snowing. </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: How do you know if there is too much snow on your roof?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-how-much-snow-can-your-roof-hold.htm">How much snow can a roof hold</a>? The answer could help you to avoid roof collapse&mdash;a worst-case scenario, of course. For most roofs, you can expect it to withstand four feet of fresh snow, two feet of packed snow, or two to three feet of a mix of old and new snow. However, your roof will only be able to handle one inch of ice. The actual weight capacity of your roof may vary, so check with whoever built it for exact details.</p></div>

It was a very smooth process from the beginning to the end. The sales person helped us find a bank to finance. The work was timely (in spite of the snow), and they picked up after the work was done.

Wonderful experience! He was on time, showed me his card and ID when he arrived, and did a great job! We encountered a few issues along the way (old nail in his way, door edge was a bit too small for deadbolt) and he took everything in stride and had creative solutions to all of the issues. ...
