Is a three-stage snow blower better than a two-stage?

• <div><p>When it comes to deciding whether a two-stage or three-stage snow blower is better, you must consider the amount of snowfall you get, the size of the area, and your budget. </p><p>A three-stage snow blower is more efficient at clearing higher volumes of snow quicker and removing ice build-up. It’s ideal for commercial use and removing snow from large areas. Make sure to compare <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/snow-removal-equipment-types.htm">various types of snow removal equipment</a> to ensure you purchase the one that is best for your needs. </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: What month is the best time to buy a snow blower?

• <div><p>The best time to buy a snow blower is typically around May to early June. This is when most manufacturers introduce new models, and quantities are limited&mdash;once early summer rolls around, the focus shifts to lawn mower production. As the new models are released, you may find a wider selection of models, potential discounts or clearance sales on older models, and greater availability, ensuring you are well-prepared for the upcoming winter season.</p></div>

Q: What can happen if you don’t remove ice dams?

• <div><p>If not removed, ice dams can damage your gutters, roof, and home&rsquo;s interior. The weight of these heavy ice formations can break gutters and downspouts. Water intrusion can happen underneath ice dams when there&rsquo;s no way for melting snow to drain off the roof, and roof sheathing, walls, ceilings, and attic spaces can suffer water damage.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to remove an ice dam?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/ice-dam-removal-cost.htm">Ice dam removal costs</a> anywhere from $650 to $2,000, with most people paying about $1,200 for this service. The price you pay will depend on a few factors, including the removal method. If your pro uses salt or tablets to get rid of the ice dams, you might only pay $200 to $300. But if they use steam, your costs could increase to $800 to $1,200. </p></div>

Responded within 5 minutes of my request to HomeAdvisor. Came immediately to my home to look and give me a quote to remove a tree. They returned the next morning and did the job in less than 3 hours. I am very happy with the results.

Tom lead the FPLC team, everyone was very professional, and the work went exceedingly well. They removed two very large trees within about 5 hours, including a few special requests. They were excellent and we will certainly hire them again.

They worked very hard to remove a tree that was very high up and on my neighbors property. They did this job with ease. I was most impressed on how well they cleaned up after the job was complete. I would definitely hire them again. Great work and great price!

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.
