Family owned.

"7/3/2020 to 7/10/2020. Initially, I was pleased because they showed up when they said they would. Rocky's son, Donovan and and his fiancee, Winter were our first contacts. We were very impressed with them. We exchanged our budget and ideas. Rocky got involved when the work began. The whole project went to **** after that. Rocky started telling me that everything Donovan and I had agreed upon would cost extra. .When I showed him the contract and the agreed upon price, he ignored it. He was in on the negotiations, by phone, for the initial estimate. Fearing that Rocky would leave the job half-done, I paid him what he demanded. At that point, I thought the money had been handled. The biggest slap in the face was when he knocked on the door and informed me that I owed him $300 more. I told him that I didn't think I had the extra money. His response was, "I'm sure you'll find it." He claimed that he had to dig down trenches around the paving blocks to distribute pea-gravel that I had purchased. My husband and I watched his future daughter-in-law and his two young grandchildren create small furrows with their fingers around the paving blocks. They opened a bag of gravel and pour some pebbles into the furrows. From beginning to end, this whole process took 10-15 minutes. As they were packing up to leave, I noticed that the job was not finished. When I called him on it he said, "that's what you told me you wanted." It wasn't! I had to drag his son into the conversation to support my claim even though I had it in writing. Prior to his work, I had received 3 estimates which came within a few hundred dollars of each other. When I complained to him on the phone later, he told me he would talk to me about the additional money when he had finished the job he had left undone. We never saw or heard from him again. A job that was estimated to cost $2,800.00 to $3,000.00 ended up costing me $7,000.00."

Roof Ice and Snow Removal questions, answered by experts

That depends on the size of your snow blower and how efficiently it uses fuel. Most snow blowers will last between 1 and 2 hours on a full tank of gas. Larger blowers tend to use fuel more quickly and need refilling more often.

Keep in mind, the average snow blowing project for a home driveway takes around 30 minutes. Large driveways and yards will take around an hour. A full tank of gas should be more than enough for snow removal, although the height of the snowfall will have an effect, too.

While most people associate defrosting icy roads with salt, you can also use sugar for a similar result. Sugar lowers the freezing point of water, melting ice in a pinch.

However, sugar doesn’t melt ice as well as salt because it doesn’t separate the water molecules as efficiently. So, if you need to quickly melt a stubborn patch of ice on your driveway or walkway, it’s best to use salt over sugar for faster results.

When starting the engine, you typically leave the choke on a snowblower in the "choke" or "closed" position. After starting, let the engine run for a few minutes to warm up. Then, gradually open the choke, moving it to the "open" or "run" position, allowing more air into the engine and transitioning to a normal fuel-air mixture. The exact duration varies based on the snowblower model and ambient temperature, but as a general rule, you should open the choke once the engine has stabilized and runs smoothly, typically within a few minutes.

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.

You can also use a snow blower on leveled gravel, but only if you carefully adjust the intake height so it doesn’t kick up the gravel and turn it into flying missiles.

The best time to hire a snow removal professional is long before snow falls in your area. Signing up for a seasonal contract not only provides peace of mind that your property will be cleared every time it snows, but it’s also often more affordable to sign a contract than paying for one-off services. If you prefer one-off shoveling services, you should contact your snow removal company the day before a storm is expected to schedule service. You can also call the morning of the snowfall, but this might result in delays.
