"Our quoting experience was great. During a full walkthrough of our land, I observed Rich communicating clearly, taking photos, & providing thorough documentation while carefully noting our goals to understand our vision. I felt very comfortable with no reservations as we walked the entire parcel — his professionalism, genuine rapport, communication, & customer service stood out. Our project goes well beyond basic dirt work, involving grading, removal of unsafe trees, responsible land shaping, & enhancing the natural beauty that drew us here. This is the second time seeking a contractor after a prior experience where the job was not completed & our vision was not understood; because of that, we are especially thoughtful about who we hire & prefer working with a local company. While family responsibilities have delayed our decision & we want to be fully present for a project of this size, we left confident in his integrity, preparation, & commitment to his clients. We highly recommend!"

"They did a great job! My roof looks great! Reliable and kept me well informed about everything. They kept cost in mind and cleaned up nicely after themselves. Serge even came out late to tarp the roof until it could get repaired so that I didnâ t have any further damage to the house waiting for the roof. They were very nice to work with. Great people. I canâ t say enough good things about them!"

"James and his crew are so great! They are very quick to respond to questions and did a great job helping us figure out a better drainage system. James even made sure that they started a finished the project before a major rain system happened! Very fair pricing and just a great experience all around! Looking forward to using them again soon!"

Snow Removal FAQs, answered by experts

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.

When it comes to deciding whether a two-stage or three-stage snow blower is better, you must consider the amount of snowfall you get, the size of the area, and your budget. 

A three-stage snow blower is more efficient at clearing higher volumes of snow quicker and removing ice build-up. It’s ideal for commercial use and removing snow from large areas. Make sure to compare various types of snow removal equipment to ensure you purchase the one that is best for your needs.

Before firing up your snowblower, ensure that essential switches are in the correct starting position. Take a moment to double-check the throttle, fuel shut-off, and choke, ensuring they're firmly set to the "on" position. Precision in verifying each switch's alignment is crucial, so don't rush through this critical step.

The best way to save money on snow removal is to sign up for a seasonal contract that guarantees service throughout the entire winter. Most companies charge between $200 and $600 for this service, and they’ll often give you a break on the price if you extend annually. Of course, savings will depend on your area. If you live in a moderate climate where snowfall may or may not occur, you could pay more than you need during a light snow year. Still, it’s usually a safe bet to sign a seasonal contract.

Generally, snow removal from a roof should occur once over six inches of snow accumulates, especially if you notice that ice dams have formed. Without ice dams, you can let the snow accumulation hit 12 inches before removing it. However, the amount of snow that is too much for your roof also depends on the sturdiness of your roof and the compactness of the snow. If your roof needs maintenance or has structural issues, it’s best not to let the snow accumulate too much for fear of collapsing.
