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: What happens if you leave snow on your roof?

• <div><p>You may be wondering if you really need the snow removed from your roof. Since most roofs can only handle 20 pounds per square foot of snow accumulation, there is a tipping point when you are suddenly at risk of roof collapse. This can cause a lot of damage, not just to your home, but to your belongings, too. It also poses a physical danger to your family. Also, a lot of snow on a roof makes it more susceptible to ice dams, leaks, and water damage.</p></div>

Q: How do you start a snowblower after sitting?

• <div><p>Before firing up your snowblower, ensure that essential switches are in the correct starting position. Take a moment to double-check the throttle, fuel shut-off, and choke, ensuring they're firmly set to the &quot;on&quot; position. Precision in verifying each switch's alignment is crucial, so don't rush through this critical step.</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: Can I use a snow blower on a deck or patio?

• <div><p>Yes, but it works best with lightweight snowblowers, the single-stage models or electric versions. Also, you need to have a rubberized intake edge on the ground and preferably rubberized auger paddles, not a metal version. Otherwise you may chip or damage the surface as you work. When it doubt, let the snow lie.</p><p>You can also use a snow blower on leveled gravel, but only if you carefully adjust the intake height so it doesn&rsquo;t kick up the gravel and turn it into flying missiles.</p></div>

I have two different opinions about it. On the tree service, it was $500 for the cutting of one tree and the topping out of another tree. I had a problem because they were supposed to remove all the debris and they didn't. They rolled a log down to the back of our yard which I had to move later....
