Q: Can I remove snow from my roof myself?

• <div><p>While it is possible to remove snow from your roof without a professional, we don&rsquo;t recommend it. Accessing your roof can be a dangerous task; pair that with slippery ice and snow that can be heavy to move, and you have a very risky problem on your hands. This dangerous situation becomes more high-risk when there&rsquo;s a snowstorm or your roof has a steep pitch. To ensure that everyone stays safe, be sure to call a roof snow removal specialist to complete this job with the proper tools and equipment. </p></div>

Q: Does knocking down icicles help ice dams?

• <div><p>Knocking down icicles won&rsquo;t help prevent ice dams, as the dams form on the bottoms of your roof slopes and not on the gutters themselves. However, removing icicles can reduce the risk of injury if they form over heavily trafficked areas, and it can help prevent permanent damage to your gutters. Just be sure to wear safety equipment and always stay on the ground while knocking them down.</p></div>

Q: What services are included in snow removal?

• <div><p>Services include plowing, shoveling, salting, and de-icing for parking lots, walkways, and entrances.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to remove snow from my sidewalk and driveway?

• <div><p>In most municipalities, snow removal is compulsory in public spaces, including the sidewalk in front of your house, so you need to remove snow there. You could face fines for failure to clear your sidewalk in a timely manner&mdash;usually within 24 hours of the snowfall stopping. More importantly, your sidewalk needs to be safe for pedestrians to use, and you could face legal issues if someone slips on your sidewalk because you failed to clear it. Sidewalk removal services might seem expensive, but they&rsquo;re well worth it to avoid these issues.</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>

Tom answered the phone immediately for snow removal. Came the same day and did an excellent job on two long sections of sidewalk. In addition, he shoveled my walk and put down salt. Definitely a hard worker and I’ll continue to use his service. I highly recommend him.
