Q: Can I use a torch to melt the ice in front of my garage door?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible to use a torch to melt ice on your garage door, but we don&rsquo;t recommend it. It&rsquo;s very easy to bring the flame too close to the door, which can melt the weather stripping or even the garage door itself. You&rsquo;ll melt ice quickly with a torch, but the damage you&rsquo;re likely to cause can end up costing you a few hundred dollars to fix, which isn&rsquo;t worth it. Instead, we recommend pouring hot water over the frozen area or using a less intense heat source, like a hair dryer or space heater.</p></div>

Q: How much does snow removal cost?

• <div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-annual-snow-removal-contract-cost.htm">cost of a snow removal service</a> is around <b>$85</b>, but this depends heavily on the amount of snow, your location, and the seasonal demand. An annual snow removal contract will typically cost between <b>$200 and $600</b> for the season. Keep in mind that single services are usually based on the amount of snow, with every six inches adding to your total. You can expect to pay between <b>$40 and $200 </b>in most cases or as high as <b>$500 or more</b> for excessive snowfall. In many cases, it&rsquo;s more affordable to enter into an annual contract.</p></div>

Q: How do you minimize the environmental impact of ice melt products?

• <div><p>Magnesium chloride is a relatively gentle ice melt product and, if used correctly, should not cause much damage to your property. The most important thing is to be sure you apply it according to the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions and don&rsquo;t use too much.</p></div>

Q: Is ice dam removal covered by insurance?

• <div><p>You should check with your insurance provider, but generally, ice dam removal is not covered by insurance, as it&rsquo;s considered a preventable issue. However, damage from ice dams may be covered by your policy, including roof collapses. In the case of leaks, your belongings may or may not be covered. If you can&rsquo;t find specific information on ice dam removal in your policy, give the insurance company a call and find out.</p></div>

Q: Do heated roof cables prevent ice damming?

• <div><p>Yes, and they do it exceptionally well. Heated roof cables have two purposes: melting snow and preventing ice buildup. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-causes-ice-dams.htm">Ice damming</a> <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-prevent-ice-dams.htm">happens when ice forms on the roof</a> (usually where the roof meets the gutter) and melts stubbornly slowly, causing moisture to enter the roof itself and, therefore, the home. </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.
