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>

Does shoveling your roof prevent ice dams?

• <div><p>Removing snow from your roof can help prevent ice dams, but the best thing to do is address insulation issues in your attic. If you do decide to remove the snow manually, you should always use a roof rake rather than a shovel. You shouldn’t climb your snowy roof in any circumstance, and roof rake allows you to remove the snow from the ground or a ladder. For the best results, remove snow as soon as possible after it falls.</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>

Q: What can I use to melt ice on my wood deck?

• <div><p>Be careful when choosing a product to help you remove ice from your wood deck. Never use sand, gravel, or salt, since these items can damage and scratch the wood. Instead, look for chemical de-icers that are marked as safe for wood decks or use hot water to melt snow and ice.</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.
