"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!"

Snow Removal questions, answered by experts

It’s the reverse of home de-winterization. To winterize, you purge your plumbing system (including your water heater and all piping) of water. Some experts also recommend filling fixtures with an antifreeze solution. Other tasks involve winterizing sprinklers, sealing foundation vents, check weatherproofing around doors and windows, and more.

When temperatures drop far enough, even rock salt can’t melt the ice. The briny solution freezes before it develops, and the salt doesn’t work, which happens around 10 to 15 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep in mind that wind chill and other factors impact ice-melting progress. Some ice melters, like magnesium chloride, work at colder temperatures and work better for deep winter freezes.

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. 

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: Does roof raking prevent ice dams? While it is not a 100% guaranteed way to prevent them, it does help.

Rubbing alcohol may also remove ice from your driveway in a pinch. It has a lower freezing point than water, which expedites the unfreezing process. Pour 70 percent isopropyl alcohol into a quart or half-gallon spray bottle and spray it on your driveway. You do not have to dilute it with water.
