Do snow removal companies need to be insured?

• <div><p>Yes, most states require that snow removal companies be insured under workers' compensation. This protects the employees financially if an injury were to happen (and when dealing with ice and snow, it’s possible that injury could occur). In addition, most states require snow removal companies to be covered under general liability, which would help cover the cost of any property damage incurred during the removal process.</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>

Q: How much does hiring a pro to melt ice cost?

• <div><p>Snow removal services cost between <b>$50 and $200</b>, 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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/snow-removal/">local snow removal service</a> to ask about rates in your area, and if they offer residential removal services.</p></div>

Q: Do services include emergency snow removal?

• <div><p>Yes, many providers offer emergency services during severe weather. Confirm availability with your contractor.</p></div>

Q: Can I remove snow from my roof myself?

• <div><p>While it is possible to remove snow from your roof without a professional, we don&rsquo;t recommend it. Accessing your roof can be a dangerous task; pair that with slippery ice and snow that can be heavy to move, and you have a very risky problem on your hands. This dangerous situation becomes more high-risk when there&rsquo;s a snowstorm or your roof has a steep pitch. To ensure that everyone stays safe, be sure to call a roof snow removal specialist to complete this job with the proper tools and equipment. </p></div>

I am using them for the second season. The price is a bit steep for a single woman. But, they do a nice job and are very reliable. They sometimes wait for more snow to fall so that they don't have to do two plows. But, I can usually get out in the morning for work regardless.
