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>

Q: Are snow blowers worth the cost?

• <div><p>If you live in a cold climate with frequent heavy snowfall, investing in a snow blower may be worth the cost. Another thing to consider when factoring in cost is if you have physical limitations that make shoveling snow difficult or even dangerous. So, you may want to start shopping around for a snow blower if you have either or both of these scenarios. </p></div>

Q: How long does snow removal take?

• <div><p>Time varies based on the property size and snow depth, but most jobs take 1-3 hours.</p></div>

Q: Do Christmas light shingle clips work if I get snow and ice?

• <div><p>Heavy amounts of snow could be a problem. In many climates, lots of snow on your rooftop can lead to freeze-thaw cycle that create <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/7-questions-ask-hiring-ice-dam-removal-company.htm">ice dams</a>, which can damage rooftops. But if you&rsquo;re using shingle clips, this snow poses an additional problem: As it melts and freezes, it can easily dislodge clips you&rsquo;ve placed on your roof.</p><p>You can clean snow off your roof after a fresh snowfall while it&rsquo;s still lightweight, but brushing off snow can also dislodge your clips. If you get a lot of snow, then roof clips become less viable. </p></div>

Q: How can I save money on snow removal?

• <div><p>The best way to save money on snow removal is to sign up for a seasonal contract that guarantees service throughout the entire winter. Most companies charge between <b>$200 and $600</b> for this service, and they&rsquo;ll often give you a break on the price if you extend annually. Of course, savings will depend on your area. If you live in a moderate climate where snowfall may or may not occur, you could pay more than you need during a light snow year. Still, it&rsquo;s usually a safe bet to sign a seasonal contract.</p></div>

Although I sent photos of my current countertops, I was never told it would be an extra charge to remove them, so they did not charge me. However, I ordered a sink and faucet from them also and, as has been done in my previous homes, I assumed they would install the faucet but no, when completed...

The online experience of ordering the washer and dryer was perfect but Home Depot's delivery was not that good. They told me they didn't have room to take the old appliances even though it was in the contract. They took the washer but we had to remove the dryer ourselves. When Home Depot...
