Locally owned owner-operator family business where all team members are trained and back ground checked. We have never received less than a 5 star review because we are absolutely meticulous about our attention to detail and customer service. We guarantee all our work and will not leave the property until the customer is more than satisfied.

"I would give them a negative rating if I could. I wish I had never hired them to soft wash our roof, driveway, home, and shed. While they are aggressive with sales, they do not stand behind their work, and their COO demonstrates poor customer service and conflict resolution skills. The exterior of our home and shed now looks worse than before they came. The photos I?ve posted were taken after their work, and clearly show a lack of care, missed areas, and damage to our siding. Paint was stripped from the siding, yet the COO refused to acknowledge responsibility. His only ?solution? was to send the same team that caused the damage back for a quick ?rinse,? while unilaterally deciding the company was not at fault. If you value quality workmanship, accountability, and pride in service, I strongly recommend finding another company."

Roof Ice and Snow Removal questions, answered by experts

While most people associate defrosting icy roads with salt, you can also use sugar for a similar result. Sugar lowers the freezing point of water, melting ice in a pinch.

However, sugar doesn’t melt ice as well as salt because it doesn’t separate the water molecules as efficiently. So, if you need to quickly melt a stubborn patch of ice on your driveway or walkway, it’s best to use salt over sugar for faster results.

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 "on" position. Precision in verifying each switch's alignment is crucial, so don't rush through this critical step.

You can use hot water to melt ice from your driveway, but there are some serious caveats. Very hot water can quickly melt ice and remove it, which is helpful if you’re very short on time and need a solution ASAP. However, it will only work across a small area, after which there’s a chance the water will freeze again. The sudden clash of temperatures is dangerous for fragile materials, notably windows and other glass, so you’ll want to keep the water away from your car.

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’ll wake up with a slippery driveway the next day. 

While it’s less common than on other kinds of roofs, yes, ice dams can form on metal roofs. Metal roofs, particularly those with snow guards installed, can still accumulate ice at the roof edge, although ice dams on metal roofs are less likely to cause roof or interior damage than on traditional asphalt shingle roofs.
