When should I call a company about snow removal?

• <div><p>The best time to<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hiring-snow-removal-what-know.htm"> hire a snow removal professional</a> is long before snow falls in your area. Signing up for a seasonal contract not only provides peace of mind that your property will be cleared every time it snows, but it’s also often more affordable to sign a contract than paying for one-off services. If you prefer one-off shoveling services, you should contact your snow removal company the day before a storm is expected to schedule service. You can also call the morning of the snowfall, but this might result in delays.</p></div>

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>

Q: Are there scheduling flexibility options for removal services?

• <div><p>Yes, many companies offer convenient options to accommodate service timing needs.</p></div>

Q: Can I use cat litter or sand to melt the ice in my driveway?

• <div><p>Some commercial services use <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/sand-vs-salt-for-snow.htm">sand when clearing ice</a>, but that&rsquo;s to add instant traction, not to melt the ice. While you can scatter kitty litter, sand, or similar substances on steps, paths, or porches to improve safety during icy conditions, they won&rsquo;t help melt hardened ice. Rely on salt or other de-icing methods to fully melt away stubborn ice.</p></div>

Q: How much weight can a roof take from snow?

• <div><p>Most roofs can take quite a bit of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-how-much-snow-can-your-roof-hold.htm">weight from snow</a>, but their ability to handle heavy snow is not unlimited. Most roofs can handle about 20 pounds per cubic foot of fresh snow. Ice, ice dams, and other factors can contribute to dangerous roof weight. Newer roofs, sloped roofs, and those that have more support can hold more snow than older roofs, flat roofs, and roofs with widely spaced beams. To figure out how much snow your roof can hold, you will need to contact a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/roofing/">professional roofing contractor</a> to calculate the maximum snow load for your specific roof.</p></div>

Very well. Got right back to me and came a day later. Even explained that the damage I experienced was probably covered by Home Owners which I hadn't even thought of. Looking forward to working with him when the weather improves to prevent future problems.

I spoke with Mr Taylor and he took my name, address, phone number, and told me he would stop over to take a look at the job and call me back with an estimate. He did neither of these. I never spoke to him or saw him from the initial contact. Taylor leaves a lot to be desired. He did not act...
