Q: Is it worth it to pay for snow removal?

• <div><p>In most cases, it&rsquo;s worth it to pay for professional snow removal. You can shovel the snow yourself, but it&rsquo;s very labor-intensive and puts you at risk of injury or illness by performing exhausting manual labor in slippery conditions. Paying a professional removes that risk and saves you time and energy. Depending on your agreement, you could wake up to a cleared driveway and a car that&rsquo;s ready to drive rather than have to get up early to do the work yourself.</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: Will salt melt ice overnight?

• <div><p>Whether salt melts ice overnight will depend on how low the temperature drops. If temperatures stay around 30 degrees Fahrenheit, you can count on salt melting ice overnight. Otherwise, the lower temperatures get, the less effective the salt is in melting ice, and the more likely you&rsquo;ll wake up with a slippery driveway the next day. </p><p> </p></div>

Q: Is a snow blower better than shoveling?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/snow-removal/">hiring a snow removal company near you.</a> </p></div>

The guy (I think his name was Mike...but not sure, so much time has passed) was very pleasant and careful. Installing the ice-maker valve was tricky and took some time, but he did a good job. We are very happy with all three of his installations and with the total experience.
