On 03/08/2016 I wrote a more positive review. This company did extensive roof insulation/ventilation remediation which they said would essentially eliminate our ice dam problems. However, unlike the 2016 winter with almost no snow and warmer temperatures, and now that we have finally had a significant snow, ice dams 2 to 3 inches thick plus long icicles are back! It appears we spent many thousands of dollars for a fix that is not working. Very disappointed and I can no longer recommend this company nor would I hire again."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ny/canajoharie/the-climate-chief-llc-reviews-6364197.htm"},"position":6},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Jeffrey Mason","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"NY","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Jaime W."},"reviewBody":"Jeff and his team did a great job.

It took about 7 hours to complete the work. The crew was friendly and professional. The trees that they removed were very large (a maple and an oak, both probably more than 50 years old) and we live in a neighborhood without a lot of space between houses, but they were very careful to take down the trees safely and efficiently. It was an impressive process to watch, and at no time did I feel like anything was being done in an unsafe or questionable manner. They removed all of the debris, raking up our yard and taking away/mulching all of the wood and branches. They left the remnants of the ground-down stumps, as we had arranged in advance for them to do. (We used this as fill in leveling out parts of the yard after the trees were removed, so this worked out well for us.) The trucks did make some minor damage to the lawn, but the workers put down wood planks to drive on and that really minimized the damage and prevented ruts. This was appreciated, and we did expect there to be some damage to the lawn, after all. You can't drive several large vehicles into your backyard without some damage, but they worked hard to make sure it was as minor as possible. We got several quotes before scheduling the tree removal and this was the best price, and I'm very glad we went with them because the work was done well and the price was very reasonable considering how much work went into this project. We have more trees we'd like to take down in the next year or two, and we will most definitely call D&L to do that job, too. I would recommend them to others.
The company worked closely with us to develop a proper work scope and pricing. The work was performed in a professional and satisfactory manner and was completed on schedule. They took care to keep dirt and debris out of the house and throughly cleaned up at the end of each day and at the...

Snow Removal questions, answered by experts
Services include plowing, shoveling, salting, and de-icing for parking lots, walkways, and entrances.
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.
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.
Using a snow blower can make removing snow easier if you have physical limitations and a large area to cover. Snow blowers can remove large amounts of snow quickly, which can also save you time. However, shoveling can be efficient for smaller areas with light snow. The method you use will depend on the specific situation and your preference. Of course, you can skip doing it yourself and stay out of the cold by hiring a snow removal company near you.
It can be dangerous to remove icicles from your roof, so the best option is to treat the underlying issue instead, usually by ensuring proper insulation in your home. If you’re concerned about immediate damage, you can hire a professional to remove the icicles and the snow accumulation on your home to prevent the issue from recurring. Just make sure you use a long-term solution, too, like addressing insulation problems or installing roof heating coils on your roof.
A common mistake is you can let snow melt naturally in a window well. However, snow buildup in the well can damage your window frames and walls. The melting snow also poses risks of water damage as it may leak through into the basement. It’s important to shovel snow out of your window wells before too much snow is piled in there.
