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 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: How much snow is too much snow on a roof?

• <div><p>Generally, snow removal from a roof should occur once <b>over six inches of snow</b> accumulates, especially if you notice that ice dams have formed. Without <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/7-questions-ask-hiring-ice-dam-removal-company.htm">ice dams</a>, you can let the snow accumulation hit 12 inches before removing it. However, the amount of snow that is too much for your roof also depends on the sturdiness of your roof and the compactness of the snow. If your roof needs maintenance or has structural issues, it&rsquo;s best not to let the snow accumulate too much for fear of collapsing.</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>

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>

Great! I have hazelnut shells as ground cover in some of the beds so they had to rake by hand. And other parts of the garden required a delicate touch. The crew did a excellent job. Even removed a stump from a very large shrub that was a casualty of of the 12 inches of snow.

"The project went well. Both were courteous, thoughtful, & committed to getting the job done well, & done completely within the day. They worked smart & worked fast. They were attentive to the details (like clean-up) & their time frame (including the recycling center hours of operation that impacted the drop-off time of the final trailer load.)"
