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: How long does snow removal take?

• <div><p>Time varies based on the property size and snow depth, but most jobs take 1-3 hours.</p></div>

Q: Can I use a torch to melt the ice in front of my garage door?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible to use a torch to melt ice on your garage door, but we don&rsquo;t recommend it. It&rsquo;s very easy to bring the flame too close to the door, which can melt the weather stripping or even the garage door itself. You&rsquo;ll melt ice quickly with a torch, but the damage you&rsquo;re likely to cause can end up costing you a few hundred dollars to fix, which isn&rsquo;t worth it. Instead, we recommend pouring hot water over the frozen area or using a less intense heat source, like a hair dryer or space heater.</p></div>

Q: What is the easiest way to remove snow from a roof?

• <div><p>The easiest way to remove snow from a roof involves using a roof rake that allows you to clear snow from the ground. Roof rakes are lightweight and feature adjustable handles, making them user-friendly for most people. This method also helps prevent ice dams and excess snow buildup, reducing the risk of roof damage during winter months.</p><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-i-remove-snow-my-roof.htm">When should you remove snow from your roof</a>? A good rule of thumb is once six inches of snow accumulates. </p></div>

Q: Can I handle snow removal myself?

• <div><p>While DIY is possible for small areas, professional services provide fast, efficient removal for large properties or heavy snowfall.</p></div>

A plowing contract was formed and not completed in a timely and reasonable fashion. Ordered crushed stone, was promised by the company on a specific day. Never delivered. Poor customer service. Poor quality. Less than poor business services.

There is nothing I dislike. What I like is he tries very hard to keep things cleared. This has been a really bad winter, it is fifteen feet of snow and it gets very rough on everybody. So he has done a good job with what has been handed.
