"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

It is not advisable to use salt on your roof to prevent or remove ice dams. It’s not only mostly ineffective but can also cause serious damage to your roof itself. Salt can rust metal, damage masonry, pit shingles, and cause runoff that’s damaging to plants and animals. 

Yes, and they do it exceptionally well. Heated roof cables have two purposes: melting snow and preventing ice buildup. Ice damming happens when ice forms on the roof (usually where the roof meets the gutter) and melts stubbornly slowly, causing moisture to enter the roof itself and, therefore, the home.

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. 

Snow removal services cost between $50 and $200, depending on the type and size of the job. Ice-melting services are often offered alongside snow removal and other winter maintenance scheduling. You can contact a local snow removal service to ask about rates in your area, and if they offer residential removal services.

Magnesium chloride is a relatively gentle ice melt product and, if used correctly, should not cause much damage to your property. The most important thing is to be sure you apply it according to the manufacturer’s instructions and don’t use too much.
