Does shoveling your roof prevent ice dams?

• <div><p>Removing snow from your roof can help prevent ice dams, but the best thing to do is address insulation issues in your attic. If you do decide to remove the snow manually, you should always use a roof rake rather than a shovel. You shouldn’t climb your snowy roof in any circumstance, and roof rake allows you to remove the snow from the ground or a ladder. For the best results, remove snow as soon as possible after it falls.</p></div>

What is the difference between rock salt and ice melt?

• <div><p>Both rock salt and ice melt are naturally occurring salts. Rock salt is sodium chloride, which is the same as table salt. Ice melt products can be made from a combination of salts like magnesium chloride and calcium chloride or can be those salts alone.</p><p>Rock salt comes in large crystals, so it helps provide traction on icy surfaces, whereas ice melt products need to be mixed with sand to provide traction. Ice melt products work at lower temperatures than rock salt, so they might be a better choice if you have a harsh winter climate.</p></div>

How much does snow removal cost?

• <div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-annual-snow-removal-contract-cost.htm">cost of a snow removal service</a> is around <b>$85</b>, but this depends heavily on the amount of snow, your location, and the seasonal demand. An annual snow removal contract will typically cost between <b>$200 and $600</b> for the season. Keep in mind that single services are usually based on the amount of snow, with every six inches adding to your total. You can expect to pay between <b>$40 and $200 </b>in most cases or as high as <b>$500 or more</b> for excessive snowfall. In many cases, it’s more affordable to enter into an annual contract.</p></div>

Limb and Log removed two trees for me, and for less than half of what other companies quoted. While they are a small team without some equipment that bigger companies have, they are highly capable and hard working. I will be hiring again if I need more work done.

Fantastic! Todd Rideman contacted me about an hour after I requested a quote through Angi's List. He met me at the property and gave me a written estimate by the end of that day. This was my first experience with Angi's list and C.M.L. Roofing and I am really happy.

Three guys came about 48 h after I made the request. They gave a cost of $1400 to do the job. They worked on my roof for 4 h straight. They did not use steam. They said they used salt and clearly lots of brute force. You may not want to be at you house during this service. They cleared all my...

Derek was very professional and honest. I called about a roof leak, and I expected an up-sell for an entire new roof, but Derek suggested that I wait a few more years before replacing the entire roof. Very pleased with the work he did... leak is no more!
