• <div><p>While most people associate defrosting icy roads with salt, you can also use sugar for a similar result. Sugar lowers the freezing point of water, melting ice in a pinch.</p><p>However, sugar doesn’t melt ice as well as salt because it doesn’t separate the water molecules as efficiently. So, if you need to quickly melt a stubborn patch of ice on your driveway or walkway, it’s best to use salt over sugar for faster results.</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: 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>

Q: What is the best way to remove snow from your roof?

• <div><p>There are several <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-removing-snow-and-ice-your-roof.htm">ways to remove snow from your roof</a>: using a snow rake, salting the roof with calcium chloride, using a rope (cautiously), and using heating cables. It&rsquo;s important to mention that pretty, fluffy, sparkling snow weighs a great deal, and when physically removing snow from a roof, you should be aware of large snow slabs breaking off. These can weigh hundreds of pounds and are a real danger, so be extremely careful anytime you&rsquo;re doing this type of work. </p></div>

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>

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...
